Finally found a use for the free headphones they hand out on flights - a lady in this doctor’s waiting room was watching her phone with the sound on for everyone to hear so I reached into my bag and fished them out and offered them to her as a spare pair and she took them and is using them. 🎉😎

EXCLUSIVE: The first family of Olathe Sweet™ (they own the trademark) sweet corn tells CPR's @stinasieg.bsky.social it won’t be available at a King Soopers or City Market. They will still sell their beloved corn throughout the region this summer — just in a more personal way. Here's why:

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

Finance people, help me… My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore. I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k. Is the risk/reward worth the change?

People talk about crime like it's a bad thing, and yet when I see people getting sued, thrown in jail, defunded, and deported for what looks like pretty normal behavior it makes me wonder if maybe there are other "crimes" that I might agree with, like crypto.
