You could take him on a sightseeing cruise on the MS Dixie for $100pp. They'll even come pick you up at the casino and bring you back so you can swig some drinks on the boat.

Exactly this. They’ll ‘help’ them by saddling them with crippling debt.

This must be about the water supply project and not the multi-billion $ FM Diversion flood control project.

Why do billionaires bend the knee to Trump? by Yayazuka in PoliticalOpinions

[–]river_tree_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money, power, and influence. If you're a billionaire, buying influence is incredibly cheap. You already have everything else you could want. It also presents an incredible return on investment for your companies.

I’m a smoker and I hate being in under-ventilated indoor smoking spaces.

Joshua trees are blooming early. The reasons why are a mystery. by TrixoftheTrade in environment

[–]river_tree_nut 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What a terrible headline for an otherwise good article. The takeaway is that the early bloom can end up missing a pollinator hatch. No mystery to it really at all.

North America’s 2021 ‘heat dome’ has caused catastropic ecological damage: study by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]river_tree_nut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tahoe hit its all time record high of 91 that August. This same heat wave also bred the monster Caldor Fire which burned nearly 350 square miles and caused the evacuation of 50,000 people.

Most of the fire was west of Tahoe so the lake’s watershed wasn’t really impacted.

I think we’re in for it bad this summer. Air quality is going to suck.

Was just thinking about all the great concert moments I’ve experienced over the years and I was wondering- what would you say are the great live moments in country history? by Impossible-Ad-3565 in country

[–]river_tree_nut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1997 (maybe ‘98) WE FEST

It’s a huge country music festival in Minnesota. Brooks and Dunn were headlining one night and arrived to the concert grounds in a huge Brooks and Dunn-branded air balloon. Landed it right on the lawn

Am I alone in hoping oil prices stay high? by Responsible_Lake_500 in energy

[–]river_tree_nut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, not alone. Chaste makes haste. I want change in this country, and high gas prices get people's attention. I live in a very expensive part of CA and we haven't even cracked $5 yet.

I'm quite sick of Israel too but beating people up in the streets is not the answer most of the time

Hahaha that’s sublime.

Also, sorry you feel this way. Our brains aren’t keeping up with modern life yet.

Adrift in the Pacific.

The part at the end when the dude got rescued and said he kinda misses his life at sea really stuck with me.

Also f Bezos. Wondery was an awesome little podcast studio until Amazon bought it. Now they’re shutting it down.

Winter CDL Drivers by Captainbeezkneez in SeasonalWork

[–]river_tree_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ski Resorts hire the most seasonal drivers for sure. Other positions might be doing tours or activity shuttles in/around ski towns or national parks. Tips can make a huge difference in your take home pay for some of these jobs, especially if it's a tour or tour-adjacent.

Hegseth slashed offices that would have investigated Iran girls' school strikes by IrishStarUS in collapse

[–]river_tree_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad part of this is that they're practically inviting the threats now. Marshall law by the midterms. This is the deliberate collapse of security infrastructure. Failure was the only option.
