A baby monitor captured a very terrifying moment as a tree crashed through a Louisiana home.
SpinnyNuNuGunner was a real life Radar O’Reilly.
The Battle of Darwin was the single largest attack on Australian soil during WWII. A group of 242 Japanese aircraft bombed the small town in which a strategically important Allied base and harbor were located... When he was found, after the attack, [Gunner, a six-month-old shepherd dog] had a broken leg...It only took a few weeks for him to demonstrate his skills. One day, while the airport at Darwin was being reconstructed, Gunner became agitated, jumping about, barking and whining. Soon after, the sound of aircraft engines was heard, while a Japanese attack formation once again flooded the sky above Darwin... The airmen of Darwin connected the dots and realized a pattern between Gunner’s shift of behavior and the bombing raid. The next time the Japanese decided to attack Darwin, their luck had run out. More than 20 minutes before their arrival, Gunner had already sounded the alarm. For the first time, the Australians were ready to repel the attack...He correctly distinguished the different sound of Allied aircraft and that of the Japanese, without ever making a single mistake. His trait was taken very seriously in a time of war. Wing Commander McFarlane even issued an order by which a portable air raid siren was to be activated whenever Gunner showed his well-known signs of alert...Whether he survived the war remains unclear, for apart from the legend which grew around him, Gunner’s existence was rarely mentioned in the official military documents of the time.

SpinnyNuNuTexas sounds like a delightful place to live.
Recently, Texas took a pretty harsh stance against owners of electric vehicles by proposing Senate Bill 1728, which would punish EV owners for simply owning an EV. That sounds cliche, but in essence, this is exactly what the bill is doing while being disguised as “fairness.” The claim was that EV owners need to pay their fair share and make up for fuel taxes that they don’t pay... The proposed fee was previously an additional $200 EV tax. That fee has now gone up... Added together, those numbers total $250 to $400+ in annual fees.
Currently, EV owners in Texas are not allowed to take delivery of their vehicles from Tesla in the state — they have to either travel out of state or arrange a third party to ship their vehicles to them. For those who will be purchasing made-in-Texas Teslas, this also applies. Tesla will have to ship the made-in-Texas Teslas out of state, where either a third party will deliver to the customer at the customer’s expense or the customer has to travel to pick up their vehicle. Unfortunately, Texas isn’t the only state that is seemingly anti-EV. Many states have this problem.
SpinnyNuNuI made vanilla extract on Saturday in my instant pot. We were running out of vanilla and I had put off buying more because it has become so expensive. I bought beans from Amazon and used vodka. I didn’t want to wait 6 months, so I researched using the instant pot. The resulting extract looks just like these pics.
Two ingredients and patience will give you the tastiest vanilla extract. All you need is vodka, vanilla beans, and time.
I love using vanilla extract in my baking and I’ve always wanted to try making it on my own. I found a recipe on Sally’s Baking Addition so I gave it a try at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. Using good vanilla beans is important but the type of vodka you use doesn’t matter as long as it’s 80 proof. You need to allow the vanilla beans to infuse the vodka for at least 8 weeks, but for the best flavor, wait at least 6-12 months before using. I waited the full 12 months and my extract has a wonderful rich flavor. I’m so excited to start baking with it!

"A seventeenth-century Flemish scientist by the name of Van Helmont... planted a willow sapling in a container that held 200 pounds of soil and, for five years, gave it nothing but water. At the end of that time, the tree was found to weigh 169 pounds, and the soil 199 pounds, 14 ounces - from just two ounces of soil had come 169 pounds of tree."

Long before next week's fishing opener, a few Minnesota anglers were avidly casting lines into the water and hauling in hefty catches. But they weren't hooking walleye, bass or northern pike. They were hoping to reel in an antique metal sign, a safe full of money, maybe even a gun.It's part of a new, and admittedly niche, sport of magnet fishing, where you "fish" with a super-powerful magnet tied to a strong line. Most of the time, magnet fishers pull in mundane scrap metal: old nails and bolts, a length of rebar, fish hooks, beer bottle caps...Even if it's just scrap metal, local magnet fishers don't catch and release, but rather dispose or recycle their finds and consider themselves to be helping the environment by hauling hundreds of pounds of metal out of local rivers and lakes...The hobby is also growing in parts of Europe, where there's a lot of metal in canals and other bodies of water thanks to centuries of warfare."England is very, very big for magnet fishing," Shoemaker said.

Let me get this straight, the child porn is described as some of the worst this guy has seen in his career and yet the guy in possession of it gets to go free? This same guy molested four of his sisters and a family friend when he was a teenager. He never faced any repercussions for that other than a stern talking to from a sheriff that was a family friend (who, rumor has it, is currently serving a prison term for child porn).
I’m disgusted.

SpinnyNuNuIt’s so fancy!
SpinnyNuNuAs someone who can’t hold a pen properly some days, I would like to send a hearty, “Fuck you,” to Ron DeSantis because my signature is not going to be identical to what is on file. I signed my voter registration probably 15 years ago, so there’s no way that I could sign the same now. Also, signing at DMV on a digital pad with a stylus is only a tiny step above signing on one of those credit/debit machines. It looks like crap.
Handwriting experts say no two signatures from one person are the same. It’s why Florida election officials for years have used all the signatures at their disposal — sometimes more than a dozen — when they authenticate a voter’s signature on a mail-in ballot.DeSantis wants to rein-in that long-standing practice. Vote-by-mail signatures “must match the most recent signature on file” with the state Department of Elections, DeSantis declared in February. A bill moving through the Florida Senate would make that one-to-one match the law.Some election officials say limiting signature samples could make it harder to authenticate the identities of those who vote by mail, perhaps leading to more rejected ballots. Signatures change over time, they say, and are often affected by the choice of pen, the writing surface, fatigue or a person’s health.DeSantis’ own John Hancock has undergone a transformation during his time in government, as demonstrated by 16 of his signatures compiled by the Tampa Bay Times from publicly available sources between 2008 and now...The most recent signature for many voters may be the one they used when they signed their driver’s licenses at a Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office. That signature is often recorded on a digital pad with a stylus — not with a pen, like how a ballot is signed.
