The article said the snakes were okay. But here is the kicker. They were running a snake business from their home. You would think people in the business would have contingency plans for such situations.
I am always amazed at the insanity I see in the world around me. People do some crazy things. I smh and hold back a laugh all at the same time. I feel for the homeowner, yet wonder what they were thinking when they applied fire to their home.
If you want to avoid accusations of impropriety you need to avoid the appearance that malfeasance has taken place.
In other words, don't create an environment where illegal activity is inevitable. If it looks like you did something questionable or wrong there will be people willing to challenge the behavior.
That is what we call "pushing an agenda". It is awfully tiresome. Seriously "forced" when what they describe is gaming of the system. It is downright disingenuous and it is goddamned everywhere from media conglomerates. They always do the same goddamn thing, treat their advertisers and politicians in power with kid gloves for funds and access. But when it comes to rivals it is suddenly knives out full Jameson demanding pictures of Spiderman.
I don't even like Facebook as a company and never used it but I find myself defending because it is such obvious complete bullcrap.

Would you expand on this? It's not at all clear to me who you believe is "pushing an agenda" or who is "gaming the system."
That may very well be my own reading comprehension issue, but I'm still a bit confused. If you'd help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Reading the parent’s comment: Gaming the system refers to the Facebook Timeline algorithm. If you’re trying to get a message out on Facebook specifically then you optimize for engagement metrics that Facebook cares about. It’s the Facebook equivalent of SEO.
As for who has an agenda? Media Conglomerates. Neither e.g. the New York Times nor Fox nor other broadcasters, newspapers, magazines and other publications are neutral observers because Facebook crowds their space. Facebook is in the same market they are, and so they have an obvious and terminal bias when reporting on Facebook. And not just Facebook: you can easily observe this between different papers and broadcasters who call each other out.
I don’t even know what agendaless news would look like. A newsfeed of press releases I guess. Point is, journalism starts with the premise that something objectionable is happening (otherwise, we could just enjoy the press releases and get on with life)
I’ve been following it since I was in college (early 10’s) and I’m beyond excited. I have serious anxiety around the launch going well and getting the telescope safely into orbit. Truly priceless.
we've been lucky enough to see both new horizons pluto flyby and the dawn mission to ceres, but james web telescope takes the top spot in terms of anticipation for me
The scammers get more creative every day. What I want to know is how an individual can be certain their crypto is safe? And how does one get their money back?
To be totally safe you need to hold in 'cold storage,' totally offline. Unless the feds intercept someone in the act of scamming/stealing crypto and negotiate the crypto back into your hands, it's incredibly unlikely you will ever get your money back.
Interactive Brokers just announced they are going to start trading crypto. If they trade it like stocks, then they hold the crypto for you. This would make it as safe as them holding the stocks in your brokerage account.
