    My local guys: https://www.redriverradio.org/ The national feed stuff is okay for some things, but the news is biased and the nationwide programs often are. Local stuff is usually better. Personally, I'd like to see the guys down south https://www.wwno.org/ merge with RRR. There's a lot going on in this state, that could be recorded and broadcast... Local symphonies, college concert bands, smaller college athketics, high school playoffs, bar bands, live music at festivals. They could partner with LPB and simulcast programs such as the governor's news conferences, local &state politics. I think they could do some more original stuff in talk shows/podcasts working with some of the college communications programs. And the national stuff would still exist. Maybe they could pick and choose. I'm just spitballing here...Trying to figure out how to keep the stations on the air with more local programming with a shoestring budget.

    @kluurs said in Contemplating mistakes...: I found a breeder in Ohio who said they would ship some birds to me. I've done that in the past - but have also had a couple of birds not survive the trip - and two others who passed shortly upon arrival. I'm a little cool to the idea of trying shipping again - and it is winter. They're typically shipped through the USPS. Would it be worth it to drive out to Ohio and pick them up in person? Maybe make a weekend out of it or something like that?

    Kind of a fun statistic, but I wonder how much effect there is when the lawyers actually present in court to the Supreme Court judges. I know someone who works in the Thai Supreme court for one of the judges and basically writes the majority of the opinion (with the judge doing some editing, etc.). I know not exactly the same as the US Supreme Court, but I kind of doubt the arguements in front of the judges changes the mind of anyone very often.

    In Asia, the numbers are the big thing. Certain number combinations are considered lucky, for example, #8 in CHinese culture means "money" or "riches". The goverment put these special plates up for auction, and i remember reading that in Hong Kong, a license plate with 8's put together (8888) sold for millions of dollars.

    @kluurs said in The Geography of Fertility: The key to surviving as an economy will thus be to encourage immigration.... Totally reasonable to have laws that make legal immigration easy, for those who demonstrate a willingness and capacity to contribute to society. I'm sure it gets more difficult as the government tries to determine who is who, in an efficient manner.

    Yes, does seem just a publicity seek. "I am going to issue an executive order to arrest anyone who commits murder" One other thing to check would be to see if they have diplomatic status and could prevent their arrest.
