No, we don't.
But yeah. I guess between the raccoons, the pheasants, and the rabbits, they should have more than enough to eat for a while.

Raccoons are tough hombres but rabbits, pheasants and especially mice and rats are good and easy sources of protein for a coyote. Plus any trash they can get their paws on.

They can go after small children but usually focus on cats, dogs and the trash cans. My experience with them is SoCal and they don't generally form packs. Maybe a mom and some pups or 2 juveniles but never seen a pack.

This is the sort of thing you can contact Animal Control over btw because coyotes will look to set up shop in the neighborhood if they can get a reliable food source.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/02/google-launches-a-chromebook-repair-program-for-schools/

Hey kids! Want to help out your school and learn a bit about electronics repair at the same time? Google is launching a Chromebook repair program for schools. Chromebooks are wildly popular in schools due to their simple OS and easy management, but the hardware in any education environment really takes a beating. So why not learn to repair them yourself?

Google's new repair site has a guide on setting up Chromebook repair facilities, recommending schools set up a dedicated space for repairs, a front desk for "customers" to drop off broken devices and describe issues, and a skill-tracker board for students.

Acer and Lenovo are the only two OEMs participating in the repair program, and Google has disassembly instructions up on the Chromebook repair site for select models. The repair guides are great, with tons of detailed pictures and drawings showing the location of every screw and cable and instructions for how to make a USB recovery stick. The guides also warn that you'll be voiding your warranty if you attempt a repair, but you're probably not doing self-repair if you still have a warranty.

The site doesn't offer much guidance on where to buy parts or what tools you'll need for repairs and just directs schools to "visit your device manufacturers support sites" for help. The guides also all stop at screwdriver work and won't cover things like replacing components with a soldering iron.

Google says a school repair program wouldn't just get the schools' computers back up and running for cheap, it would also provide valuable repair skills for students and might even be an introduction into an IT career.

wtf. that's pretty weird
And some teams "tank" (stay purposely non-competitive) to get high value draft picks year after year. They're cheap to pay, sometimes exciting and usually gone after 3 years or so. Rinse and repeat - but the team usually never gets better.

When I went to Italy I was surprised at how different pizza is there. Really made me wonder how America got to what we call pizza.

Also, they use far fewer tomatoes in Italy than in Italian-American food. IIRC, the tomato did not reach Italy until the 17th or 18th century (from the Americas) so they kind of got by without it you could say.

Generally called "soda" in my home of L.A. In the South (GA, AL, LA, TX) I have heard it called "coke". When asked what kind, they specified Sprite, Orange or whatever. I'm still legit surprised.

I've only heard "pop" in the Midwest.

@brestugo lol so you said no right when she asked Im guessing? How did she respond?


Yeah, as we approached checkout she said said something like "would you mind getting this for me?" and I looked at the cart and there's food for about 2 weeks for a woman. I hadn't been paying attention to what she put in it until she asked me to pay for it. There was steaks and bacon and shit in there.

I told her I wasn't comfortable doing that on the first date - not any suggestion of sex, because I'd seen a couple previous red flags that night and wanted to arrange a soft landing. I did say pick out 2 or 3 "essentials" and I'd pay for them.

I took her home, then drove myself home and found like a 2 page email she'd sent while I was driving home. That was a yellow flag in a night of 2 reds and 2 other yellows.

Without getting into too much detail, she was basically on the run and living under an alias. She later tried to use sex as a lure but I had decided by then to cut and run.

Asked to stop by the supermarket on the way home. Odd, but not that big a deal. It was only when she filled a shopping cart and then asked me to pay for her groceries that I began to realize she was kind of a grifter.

I'd already paid for dinner and entertainment - without expectation - and now she wants me to bankroll groceries? I could have managed it but I thought to myself "You gotta cut your losses now or she'll be asking for rent."

Ended up dodging a real bullet because she had a lot of issues.
