I contacted customer service at a business now and got this reply:

"Hi and thank you for contacting us. For good and fast answers we recommend that you use our chatbot Alli".

Now that's ironic. If there is one thing customer service chatbots have never given me, it is good and fast answers. :) That never happens. I can't stand those stupid things.
 
I saw an interesting news story today, a brand new fire station in Stadtallendorf, Germany burnt to the ground. A fire truck with a lithium battery was charging, that caught on fire and the entire building went up in flames. Because the fire station did not have a fire alarm...

You can't make this up. Wow.

These are buck white-tailed deer. They are bred, fed and grown up north. This picture was taken in south Florida. The deer are released into an enclosed field and people pay thousands of dollars to come and shoot them.

Someone started a similar scheme in rural Victoria, the simple fact that they were allowed to import deer in to Australia is a representation of just how corrupt governments in the eastern states are. The businesses that tried to breed deer for sport and for food all failed, and guess what they did when they couldn't afford to keep the deer any more.

Having the deer put down would have cost money when they're already broke, so they just let them go. Now it's costing the entire nation millions trying to eradicate another pest animal from our native bush.

The deer are native to Florida, but we have such poor grazing that the deer nor the antlers get anywhere near that big.

These animals are penned in, but I am sure some are escaping as I have seen some way too big for Florida.

Australia and the US seem to have similar problems with non-natives running amuck. A bigger crime in your case as an entire biological system has been crashed. I guess we’re responsible for Hawai’i too. :(

It seems we never learn in some areas, quick dollars trumps sense. Another case of high intellect and no brains.
 
I’m watching a TV show.. about how to cut grass, even though I live in a condo

After that, I then did laundry, washed primarily underwear
