  • There’s not enough information supplied.

    Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

    It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

    Mother of 4

    Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

    Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

    She took 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

    Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

    Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

    wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

    The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

    30 MPH road

    Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

    Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

    Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

    Maybe it’s not the first time?

    Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

    Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.











  • No, ham radio deluxe, Topaz Labs, phrase Express, on Black Friday they’re half their normal price, if you come back in February it is twice the price that it is on Black Friday. Software companies are a special case. While it takes a lot of money and or effort to make their product, minting that product is particularly cheap. Same concept for steam sales. The real advantage is selling the product very cheaply a couple of days a year gets it out in the public more and they end up with more word of mouth sales.






  • I make chili for work once a quarter or so. I make two batches, one Vegan, one Fantastic (ok kidding)

    Yes, you can use just about any meat substitute they are all fantastic. Slices of seitan, TVP, Small chunks of drained and pressed low moisture tofu, morning star sausage. The spices destroy any of the finer flavors, so you’re just in it for the texture you really can’t go wrong because the only no-no is gristle.

    Before the meat alternatives got decent in the past few years, I always just made both batches with beans.
