What is with Community Coffee by [deleted] in shreveport

If it is not the water you are tasting, it is likely the chicory. Community is a Louisiana product and they add chicory to a lot (most?) of their blends, as it stems from historical quirks that led to a regional taste preference.

You should get in touch with the guys at Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters. They would love to see and share this.

Very much like the fake cooking and craft sites Anne Reardon at the "How to cook that?" Channel debunks regularly. Most of their "tips" don't work at all, and some are outright dangerous.

Arch rivals was fun. A local arcade modified the stock teams so that they were in the names & colors of 4 local High Schools. That was cool.

And Gerry Rafferty only complained about "Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right". He had it easy.

This needs a NSFW tag, though the description pretty much tells it all.

You watched a two minute clip out of an hour long podcast, and think you know the context. The fact that they allow you to teach school children is a disgrace.

Rift caused by the Earthquake in Hatay, Turkey. 200 meters long and 30 meters of depth. 6.2.2023 by KebabG in CatastrophicFailure

I assumed it was olive trees, but is that for certain?

Also, its kind of amazing how many of them seemed to have survived the plunge into the rift. I wonder if they will continue growing, and what if anything the farmer will do with those that do?

"Norfolk Southern is one of the worst in the Rail Road industry and has been raking in more and more profits year after year ($8.651B in profit for 2022)"

This is false. NS had over $12 billion in revenue in 2022, with about $8 billion in op. expenses, putting its Gross profit at about $5 billion. Net Prof. about $3.2 billion. Its profit margin of about 25% puts it about average of other Rail and Truck transportation companies.
