https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finland-zoo-returns-giant-pandas-china-over-cost-2024-09-24/ Finland will return two giant pandas to China in November, more than eight years ahead of time, as the zoo where they live can no longer afford their upkeep, the chair of the zoo's board told Reuters on Tuesday. and The zoo, a private company, had invested over 8 million euros ($8.92 million) in the facility where the animals live and faced annual costs of 1.5 million euros for their upkeep, including a preservation fee paid to China, Ahtari Chair Risto Sivonen said. Maybe they can send them to one of the above Chinese zoos

Funny, I just had a conversation with somebody debating the name wash rags vs face cloths vs wash cloths…

@kluurs said in Mark Cuban's recommendations for future elections: How many charities has he defrauded? Trump or Cuban? Trump mostly defrauded his own foundation. Not aware of Cuban defrauding anybody except his investors.

@wtg well, you're no fun at all.

@jon-nyc said in Newsweek: Mike Lindell is a (wink, wink) Nazi: @George-K said in Newsweek: Mike Lindell is a (wink, wink) Nazi: Then... FWIW, this is actually a thing on the internet. I know about it because my son pointed it out to me. Doesn’t mean Lindell knows about it or did it in purpose, but not as much of a stretch as the Ok symbol. I know. That’s why I chose it.

Last nights game was the first in 84 years with no turnovers and no punts.

@Mik said in Rain.: First time in a couple months. So glad. How dry is it where you are? Pretty dry. I've been watching as I did some fall overseeding of the lawn and have to run sprinklers to keep the germination going...I think only one day of rain in the last 3 weeks or so. Luckily it's not hot (low 50, high 70) each day.

Idiot. We'll hear from him when he screws up again.

Got a little Malthusian in ya?

@Jolly said in Doesn't Look Good for N. Caroline Gov. Candidate: Guilt by association? After all, they're all Republicans. Guilt by endorsement. Trump endorsed Robinson and still has not retract that endorsement.

@Copper You are such a jerk. Really, you are a jerk. A stupid jerk. Did you not get the memo last spring? Actually, I am a “bitter asshole”. Gawd, you’re a dumb arse.

@Jolly said in Lack of Seamen: But it can be a lonely life at sea. I think this is a problem. Gone for months at a time. Hard to have a "normal" life

@Doctor-Phibes said in She's not even Catholic: I'm a little surprised nobody's pointed out how harmful this smearing of the RC church can be. Is it believable that the Roman Catholic Church would bribe a government official to suppress investigations into sexual abuse scandals involving the Church?

Look at the list of economic powerhouses with their high tariffs! Trump wants to nestle us right in there between Venezuela and Sierra Leone. [image: 1727181058702-img_0302.png]
