SE Michigan isn't nearly as bad as Northern Michigan as far as snow goes. A few inches usually doesn't need shoveling, but a lot of people will do it to keep their driveways clear. Tire-tracks in snow will freeze into ice, making it harder to shovel later.

Growing up, we would almost never get snow-days off from school, even during a deep freeze + blizzard. Don't expect things to shut down, and your boss will probably expect you to show up for work. Roads will get plowed and salted, but the first heavy snow causes driving problems until they clear it up. The last few years weren't very bad for SE Michigan. Last winter, there were probably only a couple of mornings where I avoided the highway due to weather and the traffic problems it caused.

It's 2 sponges lol, I threw it on the kitchen counter to test it.

So then... these factory farms are the ones creating the "weapons of mass destruction," and the activists are the ones trying to stop them...?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The FBI has been collaborating [...] to gather information on animal rights activism [...] under its directive to counter weapons of mass destruction

[...] charging activists who break into factory farms under federal criminal statutes that carry a possible sentence of up to life in prison - including for the "attempted use" of WMD

Can someone explain to me, in simple terms, how animal rights activism is connected to weapons of mass destruction?

Not to defent the corporate dystopia, but usually to qualify for whatever kind of insurance these companies have, they are required by the insurance company to drug test. At least, that's how it is at the company I work for. If they don't drug test, the company is held liable for anything the employee does, and insurance won't cover it.

She wants to fill your farmland with trees! Useless trees! No more taters or pipe weed! Good luck digging a new burrow with all those roots. Speaking of roots, did you hear about the Ents? All they do is destroy our towns, ripping our dams apart so they can drink all our water. Horrible, horrible creatures, and they will tread all over your flower gardens if you let this self-centered "elf queen" have her way!

Instructions unclear, ended up going on a 3 hour rant about mocroplastics after shifting the topic from how my bottle is a better choice than disposable plastic ones.

Sarcasm tag isn't necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.

I remember when this happened. I think it's wild that she is still being detained for it.

Looks like a perfume shop, which is made to make ypur skin smelly.

It's very possible that it isn't really piss and just yellow-dyed water. Maybe an artificial piss of sorts.

That scene in Idiocracy where the smart couple fail to reproduce comes to mind.

Being illiterate has no correlation with wanting other people to do all the work for me. We're just lazy. Please do some homework before jumping to conclusions.

Congrats, you've won at ADHD.

The only correct builds are the ones that you enjoy playing.

From what I read on other posts, it sounds like Geico was the one not following suit because nobody else would insure it in the first place.

I like that the image referenced has the polecat sitting on a pole.

Easy. I'm the new CEO of the company we set up there. Employee salary is an expenditure, and being a company in that country, it qualifies for that rebate unless there's more details I'm missing. I was also grossly over-simplifying in my original comment, I'm sure it's more complicated than that. I also just attribute Hollywood Accounting (see other commenter's post) to anything listed as a box office loss.

"I lost $100 million dollars making this movie. Coincidentally, I also paid myself $100 million to make this movie."

"As the CEO, if I pay myself $100 million for making this movie, I will get $25 million of that back from government reimbursement."

No big budget movie will ever make a profit because they make sure the big wigs get paid the amount the profit would have been. It is intentional.
