FamilyRe: Woman Gets Arrested For Assaulting Rude Child by Cousin9999: 10:20pm On Nov 11, 2021
lol But she was wrong though.

That said, some kids need a good smack. You're not doing it to them, but rather for them. Seriously, some people only respond to physical punishment, and later in life they'll look back and be thankful someone was there to jolt them out of destructive behavior and thinking.

Arguably, the security issues stem partly from development issues. Something as simple as a bridge can improve commerce.

Well, technically it's not bad. In fact, they're helping/accommodating locations where there's no stations yet. They're allowing people to work/travel/see family/etc. Is it really that bad? But I suppose it could make passengers uneasy in these times.

This isn't bad, but it should happen because it's practical and desirable, not out of government neglecting their duties.

That said, growing something in your home is awesome. It's healthier and tastes so much better. You probably won't taste anything sweeter than what you grow.

These wagers were too rich for the Department of Justice’s blood.

A Los Angeles County casino was hit with a hefty fine for failing to properly alert financial regulators and the Internal Revenue Service when a “high roller” walked in with $100 million in cash to bet on games of baccarat.

Federal prosecutors say the unnamed whale — who was described only as a Chinese national — made over 100 visits to the Bicycle Hotel & Casino over eight months in 2016, often arriving with duffle bags full of cash to bet on marathon sessions of the high-stakes card game.

On numerous occasions, the gambler’s assistant would exchange millions in cash for chips, with the high roller cashing in and cashing out approximately $100 million during the course of his months-long gambling spree, prosecutors said.

When gamblers buy over $10,000 in chips using cash, a casino is required to file a currency-transaction report and a suspicious-activity report with the Department of the Treasury.

But prosecutors say the casino routinely filed the forms in the name of the gambler’s assistant, in violation of the law. Last week, the casino reached a nonprosecution agreement with the Department of Justice under which it will pay a $500,000 fine and revamp its anti-money-laundering protocols.

The casino’s attorney, Johnny L. Griffin III, said the company acknowledged it had made a mistake but moved quickly to amend its filings and was committed “to ensuring that all of its compliance and reporting programs are strictly followed and updated as the laws and regulations require.”

“I am pleased that the government, through its extensive and lengthy investigation, has determined and confirmed that there are no systemic faults within the Bicycle Hotel & Casino’s compliance and reporting programs,” Griffin said.

The Bicycle Casino — which sits off the 710 freeway in Bell Gardens, Calif. — has operated since 1984, specializing in card games like poker, baccarat and pai gow. It has frequently been featured on the televised World Poker Tour.

In 2017, the casino was the subject of a raid by authorities investigating possible money laundering.

A year earlier, a competitor, the Normandie Casino, which was the oldest game room in California, lost its gaming license and its owners were forced to sell amid a money-laundering probe into whether drug dealers were using the gambling den to swap dirty money for chips and then cashing them out for clean currency.

The Normandie was later acquired by the late Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and renamed Larry Flynt’s Lucky Lady Casino.

In 1990, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the IRS seized control of the Bicycle Casino after it was determined that it had been constructed in part using laundered drug money, and it was later sold to a group of investors.

Science/TechnologyNew Heinz Marz Edition Ketchup Has Implications That Go Far Beyond Flavor by Cousin9999(op): 3:34am On Nov 09, 2021
First came the billionaires, then the movie stars -- now ketchup is making its mark on the space race.

Heinz revealed its first "Marz Edition" ketchup with tomatoes produced on Earth in Mars-like conditions. A team of 14 astrobiologists worked for nine months at the Aldrin Space Institute at the Florida Institute of Technology, growing tomatoes in a controlled environment with soil, temperature and water conditions similar to Mars.

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino said ketchup made from conventional Earth tomatoes has been a staple condiment in space to spruce up dehydrated meals, but the Marz Edition variety has implications that go far beyond flavor. The experiment, which has been two years in the making, demonstrates the possibility of long-term food production on Mars.
"Before now, most efforts around discovering ways to grow in Martian-simulated conditions are short-term plant growth studies. What this project has done is look at long-term food harvesting. Achieving a crop that is of a quality to become Heinz Tomato Ketchup was the dream result and we achieved it," said Andrew Palmer, who led the team at the Aldrin Space Institute at Florida Tech.

NASA has also experimented with plant harvesting in space to provide astronauts with more nutrients for their freeze-dried diets. (Apparently, the human body can't survive off freeze-dried ice cream.) The International Space Station recently hosted a taco party after harvesting the first chile peppers on the station -- ketchup could be the taco party's next guest. There has been discussion of sending a tomato-growing experiment to the space station, said NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough on Friday.
The research team and Massimino will be the first to taste final product on Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. ET. You can watch the historic event on Heinz's social media channels, such as Twitter and Instagram.

The Martian ketchup is not available for purchase, but if you ever find yourself heading to Mars, that might be one thing you don't have to pack.

No. People need to know how to ensure they have paperwork to stay there legally. The work doesn't stop after you're on the ground. And the embassy isn't going to tell you that. The same delays in visa processing can/will happen with residence permits, and the time window may end before you complete it.

Furthermore, people going there probably don't have a lot of money to be paying for hotels, and it can be challenging to quickly secure an affordable place. They need help.

So I clicked that pathetic video. lol He's even dūmber than I thought. It's so sad that people actually take this loser seriously. The m0r0n is talking like Nigeria invented corruption. lol

This guy makes racist p*rn for oyinbos. This same loser went to Mexico, and somehow found NO corruption or safety issues. This guy also listened to exploitative, racist Indians cry about their life in Africa, their cultural "plight," historical lies, racist lies, and other nonsense.

The piece of garbage clearly deliberately went looking for negative, backwards footage of Africa. In all his time in Mexico, there was somehow no tr4fficked women pressing him, no corruption, no criminals coming after him, no beggars, and etc. But he made sure to highlight all the criminals he encountered in Africa. Oyinbos love Mexico because they're self-hating lames that gladly tr4ffick their people for oyinbos.
