Iirc fentanyl/carfentanil ODs often require multiple doses.
A dude I'd gone to school with tracked me down and started stalking me. The first time he showed up at my door he talked just like that. Seemed he's ended up on heavy drugs on the street and developed some severe psychosis.
Gotta say it was super weird reading that.
I gotta be honest here ... I used to only buy free range but since I can't work anymore, and my fixed income is barely making it, I've had to go back to regular eggs ... especially with meat being so gd expensive.
I hate having to do that but I have no other options now. I wish our gov'ts would clamp down on capitalism and grocery pricing like they should be doing.
Boris Johnson, second only to Donald Trump, for the insipid dumbfuckery they both exhibit in excruciating detail.
Too bad they couldn't be the ones stuck on a space station for a few decades.
BBC Verify looks at roadwork that analysts say shows Israel is unlikely to fully withdraw from Gaza any time soon.
Israeli forces have been laying tarmac on a key road in Gaza along its southern border - in what some commentators see as a signal that they're not prepared to fully withdraw from the territory any time soon.
The road has become a major sticking point in the negotiations for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal.
BBC Verify has analysed satellite imagery, photos and video that show the surfacing of a road along the narrow but strategically important strip of land running the length of Gaza's border with Egypt, long known by its Israeli military codename: the Philadelphi Corridor.
Between 26 August and 5 September, satellite imagery captured at regular intervals shows fresh paving along a section of road extending 6.4km inland from the coast along the border fence.
The Argentine embassy is sheltering six political figures opposed to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Venezuelan security forces have surrounded the Argentine embassy in the capital Caracas, which is sheltering six Venezuelan political figures opposed to President Nicolás Maduro.
Members of the Venezuelan opposition posted images and videos of officers from the country’s intelligence service forming a perimeter around the embassy complex. Opposition figures inside the building said they were under "siege" by Mr Maduro's regime.
The embassy, as well as Argentine interests in Venezuela, have been represented by Brazil since diplomatic relations between Argentina and Venezuela broke down over the summer due to the outcome of Venezuela's presidential election.
On Saturday, the Venezuelan government revoked Brazil's custody of the embassy, it said, in an apparent attempt to remove its diplomatic protection.
Ex-president tries to fend off criticisms of mental acuity that plagued Biden as he waffles about sharks and batteries
For those baffled by Donald Trump’s forays into meandering discourses about electrocution, bacons sales or cannibal killers at his recent political rallies, the former US president had an explanation.
Trump assured supporters in Pennsylvania on Saturday that what might look like incoherent ramblings as he frequently departed from his scripted speech were instead indicators of his brilliance that impressed other great minds.
“I do the weave. You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about, like, nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like friends of mine that are like English professors, they say: ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen,’” he told a bemused audience.
“But the fake news, you know what they say, ‘He rambled.’ It’s not rambling. What you do is you get off a subject to mention another little tidbit, then you get back on to the subject, and you go through this and you do it for two hours, and you don’t even mispronounce one word.”
But, increasingly, many others are not persuaded, including some of his own supporters.
Yagi registers as the world’s second-most powerful tropical cyclone this year and has caused power outages in more than 800,000 homes
Asia’s strongest storm this year, Super Typhoon Yagi, made landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday, the meteorological agency said, killing at least four people after tearing through China’s island of Hainan and the Philippines.
Super Typhoon Yagi hit island districts of north Vietnam at about 1pm (0600 GMT), generating winds of up to 160kph (99mph) near its centre, having lost power from its peak of 234kph (145mph) in Hainan a day earlier.
The government said that, as of 5pm, four people had died and 78 had been injured by the typhoon. At least another dozen were missing at sea, according to state media.
Yagi had already claimed the lives of at least two people in Hainan and 16 people in the Philippines, the first country it hit, having formed east of the archipelago earlier in the week.
Two former senior advisers to Keir Starmer say their UK election strategy could benefit the Democratic campaign
Keir Starmer’s former pollster, Deborah Mattinson, is to meet Kamala Harris’s campaign team in Washington this week to share details of how Labour pulled off its stunning election win by targeting key groups of “squeezed working-class voters who wanted change”.
The visit comes ahead of a separate trip by Starmer to Washington on Friday to meet US president Joe Biden, his second since becoming prime minister. It will also be his first since Biden stepped down and Harris became the Democratic nominee.
With the race for the White House on a knife-edge, Mattinson, who stepped down from Starmer’s office after the election, and the prime minister’s former director of policy, Claire Ainsley, who will also attend the briefings, believe the same strategy that delivered for Labour could play an important role in Harris defeating Donald Trump on 5 November.
Former prime minister also under fire for hiring ex-aide Charlotte Owen as VP despite her lack of energy sector experience
Boris Johnson failed to disclose that he met a uranium lobbyist while prime minister before entering into a new business with a controversial Iranian-Canadian uranium entrepreneur, the Observer can reveal.
Johnson’s new company Better Earth Limited also employs Charlotte Owen, a junior aide with just a few years work experience whom he elevated to the House of Lords last year at the age of 29, sparking intense controversy.
Transparency campaigners say there appear to be “serious public interest questions to be answered” over the nature and timeline of Johnson’s relationship with his co-director, Amir Adnani, the founder, president and CEO of Uranium Energy Corp, a US-based mining and exploration company, championed by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
And force the companies to fund the land remediation 100% of the time.

Maybe I'll watch the highlights or something 'cause I can't stand Trump's voice, his meandering and the bullshit he spews. His mere existence just pisses me off to no end.
Cage-free just means they're packed into barns instead of cages. (I know this because I worked on a farm like this).
Organic means they haven't been fed growth hormones or antibiotics.
Free range means they're outdoors eating seeds like grandpa's farm chickens do. Outdoor chickens tend to be healthier (for obvious reasons) and virus/bacterial infection rates are much lower for the same reason.
Because he jumped while in the stratosphere (middle level of 3-level atmosphere surrounding the earth). Therefore he didn't have to manage the friction and heat that space shuttles have to endure when they enter the uppermost mesosphere, then stratosphere, then troposphere.
Yup. The whole Irving empire is just one big cesspool that should be broken up.
Makes you wonder if the feds shouldn't just shut down the massive cage operations and force every producer to raise free range only. 🤔
That's the main reason I gave up on watching political debates years ago, because nothing ever gets directly answered. It's all fillers and boasting about past hurrahs and talking points.
If they just answered the fucking questions I'd be happy.
Irving should be banned from bidding on any Canadian contracts ever again.
And before the nationalists jump in, I don't gaf if they're the only Canadian company capable of jobs like this. If they can't do it right they can listen to Al.
In B.C., certain gig workers are now entitled to minimum wage and travel reimbursements. Lawyers say further protections are on the horizon
On Tuesday, “gig workers” who drive for platforms like Uber and Lyft in British Columbia gained the right to be paid a minimum wage for their work. Lawyers say many more provinces may follow suit.
“What it signals for us is a growing awareness that these people in this industry deserve some protections and some minimum standards,” said Paul Edwards, a Winnipeg labour and employment lawyer who is representing workers in a class-action lawsuit against the food delivery company SkipTheDishes.
Last month, workers in that case won an important victory when the Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear SkipTheDishes’s appeal to stop the lawsuit from proceeding. The lawsuit, which has yet to be certified, claims SkipTheDishes’s workers should be considered employees, which would entitle them to minimum wage and other protections.
Sean Grayson had a history of credibility issues. It didn’t stop him from being hired at police departments in Central Illinois.
KYLE ADKINS WAS leaving his parents’ house in Kincaid, a small village in central Illinois’ Christian County, to pick up his young children from their mother’s house just a few blocks away on the night of May 8, 2021.
Kincaid police officer Sean Grayson pulled him over — but he wasn’t sure why.
Grayson told Adkins there was a warrant out for his arrest and issued him a “notice to appear,” a document equivalent to an arrest, recommending felony drug charges against him. The case dragged out for two years before it was dropped, and a new investigation reveals the warrant — and other evidence Grayson said he had against Adkins — never actually existed. Body camera footage shows Grayson admitting to the chief of police he had no evidence to recommend charges, but even after the footage surfaced in court, no other department or agency was notified.
Grayson, now 30, would go on to work at four other police departments across central Illinois, the last being the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office, where he would fatally shoot and kill Sonya Massey, 36, in her home in July 2024 after she called the police for help. Grayson shot at Massey, an unarmed Black woman whose family had called police with concerns about her mental health, three times, hitting her once in the head. He’s since been charged with murdering her.
Male condoms are far more effective than female ones are. Never mind the fact that women are almost always in charge of birth control, ie: taking the pill, using an IUD, getting shots, etc.
Men need to be stepping up to the plate on STDs.
How effective are internal condoms at preventing pregnancy?
- If you use them perfectly every single time you have sex, internal condom effectiveness is 95%. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life they’re about 79% effective — that means about 21 out of 100 people who use internal condoms as their main method of birth control will get pregnant each year.

How effective are condoms against pregnancy?
- If you use condoms perfectly every single time you have sex, they’re 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life condoms are about 87% effective — that means about 13 out of 100 people who use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year.

More significantly, the estimated cost of the program has risen to somewhere between $750 million and $1 billion, from an initial projection of $499 million.
My guess it's a 100x more than what the IRS has retrieved, but it's a start at least.
Dozens of residents of an upscale southwest Winnipeg neighbourhood are trying to overturn a City of Winnipeg decision to allow a home to be temporarily used for live-in addiction recovery services.
Ninety five separate notices of appeal against the decision have been entered as exhibits for a Sept. 11 hearing, along with an additional 75 letters in support of the appeal (some from the same people who filed notices).
A single letter backing the project, and opposing the appeal, has also been filed.
Despite facing heavy pressure to ramp up military spending, the Department of National Defence (DND) has slow-rolled one of the least complex of its vehicle replacement programs.
The light utility vehicle program has been on the books for several years. Its purpose is to update the military's fleet of two-decade-old Afghan war-era Mercedes G-Wagons and civilian-grade utility vehicles, such as pickups and SUVs.
The light utility vehicle program isn't as high-tech as some other military procurement projects — but it's still a perfect example of how a procurement system petrified of making mistakes can take a very long time to get anything done, said Steve Saideman, a defence expert at Carleton University.
"We'd rather have no corruption and slow purchases rather than [moving] fast and [accepting] more risk of making mistakes," he said.
Wisconsin health officials have initiated a recall of eggs following an outbreak of salmonella infections among 65 people in nine states that originated on a Wisconsin farm.
Wisconsin health officials initiated a recall of eggs following an outbreak of salmonella infections among 65 people in nine states that originated on a Wisconsin farm.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said in a statement Friday that among those infected by salmonella are 42 people in Wisconsin, where the eggs are believed to have been sold.
“The eggs were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan through retail stores and food service distributors,” the department said. “The recall includes all egg types such as conventional cage-free, organic, and non-GMO, carton sizes, and expiration dates in containers labeled with ‘Milo’s Poultry Farms’ or ‘Tony’s Fresh Market.’”
The vice president is cloistered in a historic hotel in downtown Pittsburgh where she can focus on honing crisp two-minute answers, per the debate’s rules.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are veering sharply in how they gear up for Tuesday’s presidential debate, setting up a showdown that reflects not just two separate visions for the country but two politicians who approach big moments very differently.
The vice president is cloistered in a historic hotel in downtown Pittsburgh where she can focus on honing crisp two-minute answers, per the debate’s rules. She’s been working with aides since Thursday and chose a venue that allows the Democratic nominee the option of mingling with swing-state voters.
Trump, the Republican nominee, publicly dismisses the value of studying for the debate. The former president is choosing instead to fill his days with campaign-related events on the premise that he’ll know what he needs to do once he steps on the debate stage at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
“You can go in with all the strategy you want but you have to sort of feel it out as the debate’s taking place,” he said during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Trump then quoted former boxing great Mike Tyson, who said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Nasa’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who flew Starliner amid technical failures, will remain at ISS until February
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday, months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.
Starliner returned to Earth seemingly without a hitch, a Nasa live stream showed, nailing the critical final phase of its mission.
The spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere around 11pm ET at orbital speeds of roughly 27,400km/h (17,025mph). About 45 minutes later, it deployed a series of parachutes to slow its descent and inflated a set of airbags moments before touching down at the White Sands Space Harbor, an arid desert in New Mexico.
A Missouri judge says an abortion-rights campaign didn't meet legal requirements to qualify for the November ballot.
A Missouri judge on Friday ruled that an abortion-rights campaign did not meet legal requirements to qualify for the November ballot, potentially thwarting a yearslong effort to undo the state’s near-total abortion ban.
But Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh stopped short of removing the measure from the ballot. Instead, he gave the abortion-rights campaign a chance to file a last-minute appeal before Tuesday’s deadline to make changes to the Missouri ballot.
Missourians for Constitutional Freedom will appeal the decision and hopes for “a swift resolution so that Missourians can vote on November 5 to protect reproductive freedom, including access to abortion, birth control and miscarriage care,” campaign manager Rachel Sweet said in a statement.

Patrick Odale’s death on Dec. 28, 2023, at the Southern Desert Correctional Center has been ruled a homicide.
The autopsy report finalized in late August follows a nearly nine-month coroner investigation into Odale’s death at the mostly medium security prison near Las Vegas. The Clark County coroner’s office found Odale, who was 39, died of “ positional and mechanical asphyxia in the setting of law enforcement restraint.”
The U.N. independent investigator on the right to food accused Israel of carrying out a “starvation campaign” against Palestinians in Gaza.
The U.N. independent investigator on the right to food accused Israel of carrying out a “starvation campaign” against Palestinians during the war in Gaza, an allegation that Israel vehemently denies.
In a report this week, investigator Michael Fakhri claimed it began two days after Hamas’ surprise attack in southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people, when Israel’s military offensive in response blocked all food, water, fuel and other supplies into Gaza.
Following intense international pressure — especially from close ally the United States — Netanyahu’s government gradually has opened several border crossings for tightly controlled deliveries. Fakhri said limited aid initially went mostly to southern and central Gaza, not to the north where Israel had ordered Palestinians to go.
The IRS has collected $1.3 billion from high-wealth tax dodgers since last fall, the agency says, crediting spending that has ramped up collection enforcement through President Joe Biden's signature climate, health care and tax package signed into law in 2022.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel traveled to Austin, Texas, to tour an IRS campus and announce the latest milestone in tax collections as Republicans warn of big future budget cuts for the tax agency if they take over the White House and Congress.
Yellen said in a speech in Austin that in 2019, the top one percent of wealthy Americans owed more than one-fifth of all unpaid taxes, “leaving ordinary Americans to shoulder the burden.”
A corrections officer charged in the 2021 death of an inmate who was shown on video repeating the words "I can't breathe" while officers swarmed and restrained him in a Manitoba jail has been acquitted in the man's death.
Robert Jeffrey Morden pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life, following a February 2021 altercation that began as a prolonged standoff between inmate William Walter Ahmo and corrections officers in a common room of the Headingley Correctional Centre, west of Winnipeg.
Judge Cellitti said in his decision Ahmo's death "represents a terrible tragedy" that "has no doubt had and will continue to have an immeasurable and lasting impact" on his loved ones, but that the video of Ahmo saying he couldn't breathe does "not tell the whole story."
"In my view, the fact that Mr. Ahmo said that he could not breathe on numerous occasions and that seemingly there was no medical assistance offered to him standing alone is not determinative of this case," Cellitti said.
A 15-year-old Indigenous boy killed by RCMP in Wetaskiwin, Alta., last week handed a machete and a knife over to police and had run into a field before officers opened fire, Alberta's policing watchdog said Thursday.
In a statement, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) provided new details on the final moments leading to the death of Hoss Lightning from Samson Cree Nation.
Lightning died last Friday. According to RCMP, the teen called 911 and told a dispatcher he was being followed by people trying to kill him.
A B.C. man who was bitten by a police service dog four-and-a-half years ago has been awarded $60,000.
In a decision last week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Michael Thomas said an RCMP officer and dog handler's "intentions were good," but he made an error when he released the dog too quickly.
Police were called to the man's house for a domestic dispute. He was charged with assault causing bodily harm, mischief and threatening to harm an animal — his partner's cat, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service (BCPS).
But "after receiving new information," Crown counsel concluded that the charge approval standard was no longer met and entered a stay of proceedings.
