"Well folks, we've screwed up everything we can screw up for one day. Time to go home and try again tomorrow" 😆

I'm so tired of these arguments about small pots of money (or not) for night train operations
YOU CANNOT FIX THIS UNTIL SOMEONE BUILDS MORE NIGHT TRAIN CARRIAGES
Because then we can start to run night trains that aren't with knackered carriages saved from the scrap heap, and have solid operations!

but it still cracks me up when everyone in the band is giving totally different vibes 😅

amazing ruling
if I understand correctly...the gov't lawyers focused on arguing against the lower court's TROs...but didn't argue for a stay of its enforcement order (the consequences of the gov't violating the TROs)
the depravity of this administration is matched only by its incompetence

moose have surprisingly disparate habitat requirements. they need aquatic plants & new growth forests for food, but mature forests for shelter. their environment needs to be cold & snowy to deter predators, parasites & heat stress, but not so much as to make finding food difficult.
