Just a slight correction. The shooter was on top of the AGR International building. It is different from the American Glass Research building. American Glass Research is a subsidiary of AGR Int'l. AGR Int'l focuses mostly on testing equipment for PET bottles.

Looks like a knockoff Aliexpress Bug-A-Salt and they can't even figure out how to cock it. Surprised it's even legal there.

Such bad taste. Disgusting.

I know! My husband has kept saying they should have had monitored, tethered drones there, and at all his rallies for that matter. Unless that's the real reason they wanted to outlaw DJI.

Yeah, probably not. They might all be working from home for a while too, I bet.

AGR is one of my company's clients (I work for a small consulting firm). They have been a client since 2005. I would highly doubt there would be any connection. Most people would find it to be a pretty boring industry. Testing equipment for plastic bottle performance and things like that. I am scheduled to have a conference call with them on Tuesday (call is unrelated and has been scheduled for weeks). Not sure if the call will still happen, but if it does and any of the people I am meeting with say anything that we haven't heard before, I will relate that on the board.

Nope, doesn't show up on Google Earth.

Yeah, it seems a little too perfect to me. You're right about the crowd though. Just saw a different photo that shows that they were quite some distance behind them, so yeah, it's possible to only see blue sky if the cameraman was at just the right angle.

He had a lot of people behind him, rising up a lot higher than he was. How was this taken without anybody else showing up in the photo? Even if the photographer was far below him, you'd still see people, and the perspective would be different. I'm not sure about this photo.

Holy crap. I have a conference call with them (AGR) on Tuesday. What are the odds. I wonder if they'll say anything about it.

Not only that, but you can't use your property as you want without getting "permission." Want backyard chickens? Nope, your property is too small, you need a permit. Want a shed? Nope, need a permit. Want a concrete slab under your deck? Nope, need a permit. Retaining wall? Permit. Finished basement? Permit. All those permits are just an extra tax, and end up raising your property taxes even more. If we're paying basically a usage tax for property we own, we should be able to do with it what we want.

Interesting. I will look into it, as well as get him tested. Unless any other blood types are attractive to mosquitoes, it's likely he's O- then. They really go after him. That would be good though if he's a universal donor, since my parents are getting older and we want to be available in case they ever happen to need a transfusion of unvaxxed blood.

We're not sure what type he has...need to get that figured out (for other reasons)...long story why we don't have any of his medical records. It would be interesting if he has O- and thay's why he gets bitten up all the time. He just said he thinks he might have that type, he can't remember. I almost never get bitten (even before I started taking IVM...except for FL mosquitoes...those always get me).

I will personally add papulopustular rosacea to that list (topical application of horse paste). Has changed my life.

How much and how often do you take it? My husband is a mosquito magnet too. We're in GA so we have mosquitoes 9 months out of the year. If this could work for him that would be great.

They did this in my area in 2020 too (northern suburb of Atlanta). Cancelled all fireworks celebrations. My husband took his drone up that night, and there were fireworks going off everywhere, as far as the drone could see in every direction. It was awesome.

Ugh, most of the ones in my county were for child molestation. Disgusting.

So sorry to hear this. This same thing happened to a colleague and friend of the family due to the vax. He was one of the smartest men I know. He had to get vaxxed because his wife needed knee surgery and they wouldn't let him into the hospital without it. It took a year or so to progress, but he also developed ALS-like symptoms. His mind was still fully intact, but he deteriorated physically until he couldn't speak, write, or type. It was heartbreaking to witness, you could tell he was frustrated because he wanted to still work and contribute but he couldn't communicate. His work was his passion. He died in November 2022. So sorry for your loss.

My husband noticed at one point during last night's debate, Joe reached up and touched/poked his ear. I was briefly looking away and didn't catch it, and haven't gone back to look over the footage again. But my husband thought it looked a little like he might be adjusting an earpiece.

Wouldn't make a difference anyway for me, at least in terms of my bill amount. Close to 40% of my Georgia Power bill is fees/surcharges, so I could do their recommendations, die of heat exhaustion, and my bill would still be over $500 in the summer.

The Talmud states that a marriage isn't recognized as legitimate until it is consummated, and people would wait outside to make sure the marriage was consummated on the wedding night. And babies could be married off.

To be fair, my best friend growing up was Hindu, and her great grandmother was married off at the age of 4, and had her first child when she was 11, so this kind of stuff did happen in many cultures in the past. I'm not sure at what age her marriage was consummated though.

True. I developed a wheat allergy (not gluten intolerance that causes upset stomach, but a bona-fide can-go-into-anaphylaxis allergy) at the age of 34. Never had any allergies to anything except seasonal allergies. However, after reading studies many years later, I determined my allergy was most likely caused by being on Wellbutrin for many years. Apparently, according to these studies, this is a side effect that can happen if you've been taking it for more than 5 years. Of course it's not listed on the medication info though. So there are likely things you wouldn't even think about that can cause you to develop allergies to things you've been exposed to all your life.

My sister (liberal, vaxxed, brainwashed, no common sense) told me she couldn't wait until her daughter was old enough to get the Gardasil shot. I begged her to not do it. I know she will not listen to me though, since she treats me like a child even still (she's older by a year and a half). Plus, one of her best friends is a fully indoctrinated doctor, who really heavily pushed for the Covid vaccines, and my sister trusts everything this doctor friend says. I begged her to at least do some research on it before blindly trusting it. I will keep trying to get through to her, but I fear for my niece (and nephew too).

I used to work in one of the Peachtree Center buildings above the mall. So glad I don't ever have to go down into Atlanta anymore.

Do they think trans men feel left out for not getting to experience all the fun cancers only women get to have, or something?

Oh my gosh yes, our washer and dryer are 20 years old now, look like crap but still work great. My Mom has had to replace her newer ones twice already, and she constantly complains about how bad they are. We have a Daewoo microwave from 2002 that is still going strong, yet the new Oster we had only lasted 5 years. My car just turned 18 too, never had any problems. We only replace our phones when they stop supporting them...current one is at least 5 years old.
