Yes. We ended up lost on our hike while using it.

Second time was better, we were geocaching and were able to find quite a few if them. Although it might have been easier to find using points on a map with a compass.

I worked in a grocery store for a while. There was something smelly in the store and it took us a couple days to find it. Someone hid some meat (it might have been shrimp and/or beef) they didn't want behind 4 bags of dog food at the very back of the shelf.

It's definitely been getting worse. The written directions aren't always accurate. Exits sometimes have the wrong label. Lanes are missing on the highways when they merge and separate.

I've also seen a similar thing with routes not always showing up or giving bad directions. It attempted to take me through a school bus barn and even through someone's yard once.

You could probably do better buying insurance off the ACA marketplace, even without premium assistance if your job didn't offer insurance.

If you're in TX, polls will be open from Oct 21- Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. Your voter registration must be approved on or before Oct 7 to vote in this election.

Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day to vote. Go early and you won't have much of a line, if there's even a line at all! We were the first state with early voting, so take advantage of it!

www.votetexas.gov has all the info you need. You can check your voter registration, find voter registration forms, see polling locations and their hours for the entire voting period, and find answers to other election questions.

This is the same guy who he insists he won in 2020 and is supposed to be sitting president now. By his logic, he's running for a third term.

He's also said that he will become a dictator on day one if he's elected this year. Why would he run in 2028 if he abolishes elections or makes a loophole to stay in the White House?

Yeah the ticker bags that would last a year or so before the handles fell off were more plastic, but it was at least a step. I saw more people using cloth and other sturdy Reusable bags after a few months.

Yes in 2018, the TX Supreme Court struck down plastic bag bans in Laredo even though the small city was saving something like $250,000/year in waterway cleanup. The other cities, including Austin, that had a plastic bag ban lifted their ban after the court ruling.

It was great under the bag ban, the cities were so much cleaner. Grocery stores all had some thicker Reusable plastic bags that could be bought and would hold up for a long time as long as you didn't overfill them. They also sold cloth bags, not to mention the people carrying Ikea bags around the stores.

They were at it at least a year before the 2016 election cycle. I believe it was the CIA that said Russia was the one that created the Jade Helm scare in 2015 through social media influence.

Jade Helm was the name of a training operation of the US military in central TX near Temple. The Russians created a bunch of posts claiming that Obama was taking over local Walmarts and emptying them of all merchandise to use as prisoners for his political opponents. They even drew diagrams of the insides of the stores with the holding cells and everything. So great was the Russian influence that Abbott (who is still Governor of TX) ordered the TX National Guard to watch the training exercise and make sure that the US military wasn't storming homes and taking prisoners.

The police should definitely be doing that. It would nip this idiocy in the bud.

I wonder what their response to a request to see a visa or green card would be, since they claim not to be US citizens.

That definition goes with "spinning" the story. However this goes beyond just spinning and it's much more than just whitewashing over a couple imperfections. This is completely rewriting his words and campaigning for the man.

This is taking spinning a story to a new level and "sane-washing" just doesn't convey the weight of their actions. With these actions, the New York Times is more like Trump's A-team campaign management. It's almost like a reverse Dunning-Kruger Effect, where they attempt to make him look like he has ideas and substance when there isn't any.
