Careful, Niya. You know how that turned out last time.
We have been getting snow for two days, now. It's rare to get snow in the valley, and even this has been melting out a bit. Some places look like they have about a foot, some places look like they lost a bunch. There was a gap in the snow, yesterday, but it's back.
It won't last much, though. The snow is supposed to turn to rain by noon, and the temperatures should get well above freezing.

My parents on the other hand got a ton of snow in Lake Charles. It is hilarious because there are pictures of friends using debris from the hurricane to scrape off ice.
Now there are videos of people using their hurricane debris for "snow boarding" :afrog:
We got loads of snow, then it warmed, the sun came out, and it was melting fast this afternoon. Eventually, it also rained, which further dampened and melted it. Still plenty of snow out there, though. With the coming forecast, it won't last more than a day or two.
Snowed today in Athens.Quote:

Must have been a hangnail. Those are murder.
The actual worse part is when I found out that the insurance carrier was able to negotiate it down to just $1 million. What is the real cost of care?
Nobody knows. That kind of stuff happens all the time. Frankly, I don't think the providers know, nor do the insurance companies, nor anybody else. It's pretty messed up.
and the winner of the 'Most obnoxious company' award is......... facebook - for it's blocking of news feeds to its Australian users... :p
Are you aware of the law that was recently passed in Australia that was the driving factor behind Facebook's decision? What obligation does a company have to continue offering a given service?
It seems to me like the government of Australia wants its cake and to eat it too.
I'd say that Facebook was capable of winning that award without the help of Australia.
I do like the fact that Facebook completely botched pulling out their Australian news feed.
People like doctors without borders got temporarily banned just for being tangentially related to "news" and this sort of thing happens all the time to libertarians. During the great purges of 2020 many libertarians were banned (some permanently) for holding ideas that aren't necessarily right-wing(or alt-right or neofascist, or whatever you want to call it) but weren't "mainstreamed".
Ultimately, Facebook is a private company that is serving as some kind of international platform, a role it was never designed to play. They're scrambling, improvising, and even floundering (that's when both of your eyes move to one side of your head), but what could anybody really expect?
I'm no fan, nor a member, but they sure are popular.
