Oh yeah, totally non-fatal fire, just a church and two homes burned to the ground.

TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Dr. Phil was embedded with ICE during controversial Los Angeles immigration raids4·29 days agoSeriously… the fact that Rachel Ray is the only one to made it out of Oprah’s influence with any kind of wide-spread appeal is crazy.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Twenty-seven states and DC sue 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consentEnglish24·29 days agoI was so tempted to try their service, but it was always in the back of my mind, inside the part of my brain that was conscious during marketing 101 class in college: “What’s the long term business model here? What happens after they have everyone’s genetic identity?” Then it dawned on me like ooooohhhhh that’s the plan… no thanks.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and StarlinkEnglish6·1 month agoThe automotive manufacturers General Motors and Chrysler were partially nationalized in the wake of the 2008 Financial Crisis as were several banks… these were less a full government takeover and more of a government guided restructuring, but the government owned large stakes in these companies. Before that, the only full nationalization of anything substantial was the bankruptcy of the Penn Central Railroad and subsequent establishment of Consolidated Rail (branded as ConRail) the US’s only national freight rail company.
Conrail was later privatized into what is now the private companies CSX and Norfolk Southern. The collapse of Penn Central was the largest bankruptcy in history until Enron in the 1990’s. Amtrak, our national passenger rail corporation, is also a nationalized entity created around the same time as ConRail, for similar reasons, and is still nationalized (although the Trump admin wants to privatize it).
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?4·1 month agoLeonard Nimoy was a pretty tough celebrity death for me. It was like losing a super cool uncle, a person who’d been in my life for my whole life, but hadn’t seen in a long while, was dead.
Skin on different parts of the body tastes different. It also depends on how it’s cooked.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Things at Tesla are worse than they appearEnglish7·2 months agoI think it’ll be more of an Enron slash Theranos docudrama… questionable accounting and overvaluation mixed with a superstar CEO stuck in a faking-it-till-you-make-it corporate death loop with investors drunk on hype.
Still… I expect hurricanes in Florida, not in Tennessee.
Indeed it is brother… indeed it is.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your version of "I DON'T like it but I do like people who do like it"?6·4 months agoRugby players.
I don’t care for sports so much, but a ton of my friends play rugby. Several of my exes play rugby. I’ve got cousins who play rugby. I live in the States and, while rugby is popular, it’s no where near the levels of enthusiasm where like 90% of the people a person hangs out with plays it (and you not also play or have any real interest in it). Mostly to support people I was dating, I’ve been to like ten games in my life and, while I understand how the game is played, I’m just completely uninterested in sports and following sports as a hobby or interest. I don’t know why, but rugby people love me and I love them.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What parody surpassed what it was trying to parody?10·4 months agoSeason 1 was basically Seth MacFarlane’s TNG fan scripts… it’s a Star Trek series through and through.
They’re kinda like the S-Pen… is it cool? Sure! Do I find myself using it? No, not really.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games?English4·4 months agoI really loved the “Anchor Man” DVD menu. Solid graphics, great playthrough, simple controls.
And turns out… he can get away with everything.
I mean… yeah, probably.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Democrats finally sue Trump for trying to control elections3·4 months agoWell, Senators Manchin and Sinema made sure nothing got done through then… which, when you realize Biden was in charge of the DNC during his administration… it’s a whole “they didn’t whip their legislators well enough” situation. Democrats are nearly world renowned for failing at that.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Democrats finally sue Trump for trying to control elections4·4 months agoFilibuster only works against certain legislative pushes… usually only stuff that needs 60 votes (instead of a simple majority) in the Senate.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•US natalist conference to host race-science promoters and eugenicists10·4 months agoThe white supremacists didn’t forget… they just thought the wrong side was winning.
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I'll care when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers.1·4 months agoI mean, like the OP said, unless it’s a worker owned co-op or, at the very least, a small mom-n-pop that treats their workers fairly.
Hey everybody! Get a look at Money Bags over here being able to afford to go to the dentist!
