I vote that we have a specific forum for this sort of tabloid news rather than posting it in the General Discussion.
I suggest we call it Depressing News
If it’s an old school charger it might have “boiled off” the water due to excessive voltage. Newfangled chargers avoid that. A modern 3 bank shouldn’t eat water though. Unless it got set to the wrong battery type (wet, gel, lithium,blah blah)
we have the pileated in the yard too - yes, they're hell on suet
We have a male Indigo Bunting in the yard again this year. Talk about a bird that makes you do a double-take. Unbelievable.

And the red-headed woodpecker this year is a head turner too - with that pure white...
I’m no longer bothered by them, not even a little bit. I can pull a dozen off on the way home and it doesn’t even register.
The deer ticks and their diseases don’t thrill me of course, but they’re pretty infrequent compared to dog ticks.
No problem. PM me the address and I’ll send some dried with instructions.
If you’re in Devils Lake area it’s for sure prime time up there weatherwise.
And although I’ve never foraged there, the trembling aspens growing in sand/gravel combo look ideal. I think about it every time I go fishing...
Lilacs in full bloom are too late imo. Yours look perfect.
First major flush of dandelions is surest indicator IMO.
Lilacs in full bloom means nearing the end. Big morels (Mongos) but less of them and they crumble easier.
There was a light on my way to work that had car sensors. Its behavior was shiit and irked me for three years.
Then one day it miraculously started working reasonably. It always had the sensors in the ground, computer system box, etc. but it sucked. It's like they suddenly decided to enable...
Of course it's easy for me to poke fun. I'd rather be a Walmart greeter than attempt to solve something as complex as efficient traffic flow in a city the size of Bismarck - that's endlessly growing. o_O
I suggest that Bismarck should hire one of Fargo’s engineers to help out. I think there are grants available to help communities like yours come into the modern age of transportation management.
It’s not the engineer’s fault, they likely grew up in a backward rural “hillbilly” culture, where...
It's probably not johnr. But the offender probably caught it from him.
johnr's a carrier for a multitude of afflictions but somehow continues to thrive. A modern miracle really. He could keep researchers busy for decades.
The Black Ovis t-shirt ended up being the best purchase for me. I bought some hooded mid weights and they weren’t as warm as I was expecting. Darn Tough socks work well enough for me.
Then you know they don’t valiantly look away from you. They’re often sick and distressed and keep their eyes on you. If you get lucky and they’re looking away, it is for your benefit, not theirs. Dead is dead.
If Royce was in need of it I could do it. I’d cry like a baby and be very angry I...
The dawn of the Uniparty is what has caused all this confusion.
Soft Totalitarianism as they say on talk radio. The average citizen no longer plays a crucial role in the process... it's all run by big government. It's a big party, and you're not invited. You THINK you are, but you're not.
The thing that truly terrifies me is what man is capable of when he turns his back on his Creator.
As Jordan Peterson would say, people are monkeys - filled with snakes.
I'm convinced that God put them there to increase genetic diversity (gene/virus swapping amongst mammals) and generally keep immune systems active. Sorta like involuntarily shaking hands and swapping spit between animals.
I can't fully articulate this admittedly pea-brained theory. I simply...
Tall Tale Tammy? Brilliant! Not.
Reminds me of this big turd's attempt to label his opponent. LOL

Sorry - but attack ads suck. And he's OK with them. Disappointing.
Guess we could all go soft and try the leftist approach.
