If they’re lucky, growers can sell their uncontracted grapes at a loss to buyers making concentrated syrup.

Part of the problem being ridiculous contracts that prevent the grapes from being sold or given away even if the person who contracted them decides they don't want the grapes

This happened on a county road, really not intended for pedestrians. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8418081,-97.47458,380a

Sucks that the athlete is getting all the blame when the event organizers are the ones who had the most responsibility to prevent this. They should've disqualified her as soon as they saw the feces running down her leg. It retrospect it's easy for her to see that this was gross and inappropriate, but during the heat of the competition the burden should've been on someone from Hyrox to pull her aside and tell her she is disqualified because she's causing a safety hazard for the other competitors.

This isn't a war, the customer service people aren't walking through your home grabbing your games to throw in a fire. Harassing them isn't going to have any effect on the corporate direction. If you want to get the decisionmakers' attention, stop buying their products. If you keep sending them money, you're basically just paying for the privilege of screaming at some minimum wage workers.

I don't worry about the dates, but sometimes it's mouldy or smells rotten and I throw it out at that point.

kilopounds (Kips) is a real unit that gets used in structural design in the US. It makes no sense lol.

It is where the hillbillies live after all.

That or they didn't give the translation to the captioner. Not the captioner's job to translate so they put in [speaking in a foreign language] instead.

They're good for extended stays with other people, where you want multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. Or if you want a more private stay in a scenic area away from other people.

Yeah "AI" stuff gets a lot of hate around here but I think it works pretty well as a tool for things like information gathering and analysis. Wouldn't trust it to go off taking actions by itself either though.

I think this was poorly explained in the article, their other legal mechanism would be to elect a functioning city government. In the absence of this, they can legally declare the city abandoned so that they are administered directly by the county (regional) government.

As long as the city exists, the city is typically responsible for utilities within the city limits. The city government is responsible for requesting aid and coordinating repairs to the water infrastructure. There seem to be some sort of local politics issue where they are unwilling to elect local officials to do this, may be people on the other side who want the city to be declared abandoned. By abandoning the city they can appeal directly to the county government to help repair the water system.

Word's interface doesn't help. Default view gives you almost zero information on section breaks, and even if you turn on formatting marks they behave in an unintuitive manner and there's some edge cases where Word will still generate a new page after a continuous section break unless you set the font size after the break to 1.
