Yes, still very low compared to the past four years, though it seems to be pretty low around this time every year. Good news for gas guzzlers. My car runs on sunlight. And it’s not a Tesla

I'll have to check the California Vehicle Code, but I don't believe those vehicles are allowed on Laurel St. in SD...

A barista in Mobile needed stitches and vaccinations earlier this month after a monkey jumped through a drive-thru window, climbed up her arm and bit her, according to an article from Lagniappe Mobile.
According to the report, Mobile Police Department officers were dispatched to a Starbucks in Tillman’s Corner on Jan. 10, where they learned that a customer’s pet monkey had jumped from a vehicle into the coffee shop through the drive-thru window.
The Starbucks employee, who asked to remain unnamed, sustained bites to her hands and a laceration to her ear that required stitches, she told Lagniappe.
Another employee was able to pull the monkey off the employee that was attacked, MPD Public Information Officer Blake Brown told Lagniappe. The monkey then got back into the customer’s vehicle and the customer drove away.
The employee said the customer had two monkeys in the vehicle when she pulled up to the drive-thru window. The customer later came into the Starbucks to discuss the incident, the employee said, but did not provide her name or information.
Starbucks ordered to pay $50 million to delivery driver burned by hot beverage

A jury in California on Friday ordered Starbucks to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by an improperly secured lid on hot beverages.
Michael Garcia was picking up drinks at a drive-through in Los Angeles when he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” onto his lap, according to the lawsuit filed in California Superior Court in 2020. The lawsuit accused Starbucks of breaching its duty of care by failing to secure the lid.
Michael Parker, Garcia’s lawyer, said his client was picking up three beverages and one of the hot drinks wasn’t fully pushed into the container. When the barista handed Garcia the order, a drink fell out of the container and onto Garcia, Parker said.
Garcia’s damages included physical pain, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, inconvenience, grief, disfigurement, physical impairment, anxiety and emotional distress, according to a recording of the verdict from Courtroom View Network.
Starbucks said it plans to appeal the verdict.
“We sympathize with Mr. Garcia, but we disagree with the jury’s decision that we were at fault for this incident and believe the damages awarded to be excessive,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “We have always been committed to the highest safety standards in our stores, including the handling of hot drinks.”
The lawsuit is reminiscent of a famous 1994 lawsuit against McDonald’s in which a woman spilled hot coffee on her lap and suffered third-degree burns. The plaintiff in that case, Stella Liebeck, was originally awarded nearly $3 million.

The average price for a dozen eggs has dipped down to $4.15
Egg prices dropped once again this month as bird flu outbreaks eased and demand fell, with consumers unwilling to shell out for the inflated prices, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Wholesale prices for a dozen eggs now average $4.15, down $2.70 from the week before, the USDA’s Egg Markets Overview from Friday found. In the last week of February, a dozen eggs averaged as high as $8.05.

Of course. All the bad shit that Trump causes is Biden's fault. Anything good that happens is all because of Dear Leader. Keep your lips fastened tightly on that tiny orange sausage.

Word is that they were sort of pissed off at having to lip synch the song. You can see that John Phillips never has a mic, and was actually talking to her during part of the performance. Michelle had a mic at first but wasn't using it at all after picking up the globe.

Ahhh, ok.
I thought eating would make Mama hungry.
I was just waiting for Mama to steal the beachball and beat her over the head with it and steal the banana.
