"Hua moa" is Hawaiian for "chicken egg."

The scam in question, from the article:

McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.

“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.

Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.

“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”

Someone once came into my department's office and started chewing me out for not getting a task done on time. My boss literally stepped in between me and the other person and told them, "we'll do our due diligence and get back to you," and then insisted they leave the office.

He and I then checked, and I had completed the task both correctly and on time. Someone else in a different department dropped the ball.

My boss then went to the office of the person who had yelled at me and gave them what-for.

So they weren't saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, "he is the wisest of us all").

Look, I know I'll never be allowed in the gold card room, but if that's what it takes to get robust public transit in the U.S., I'm good with it.

Oh look, here’s a guy who lives his whole life as Peter Pan and has a website about it

Holy shit, I haven't thought about that guy in something like 20 years! I wonder what he's up to these days. I like to imagine he and the berries and cream guy are pals.

Best guess just by looking at the photo is too much butter and I'm guessing you didn't chill the dough before you baked them.
