James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because he is James Cameron.

I felt like the Tencent version had to show the scene to establish motive, but glossed over the surface of the deeper meaning.
Having only read the English language books, I don’t know if the Tencent version was closer to the Chinese language book. Overall, I enjoyed this version of the show. I’m on the fence about seeing the Netflix version.
Or maybe it’s just honoring rule 1 and 2 of fight club

This is a fantastic answer. The things that trigger the reward center in your brain should not be the common input. I fully agree with the suggestion to remove the temptation beforehand and set goals. Personally, I also suggest that you make the reward less frequent over time so that the completion of the work becomes the desired result; rather than just a means to attain the reward.

Small-town police sued for planting drugs on drivers in north Alabama

After a small-town police officer was indicted this year in a scheme to frame drivers for drug possession in north Alabama, one driver is suing for wrongful arrest, arguing that former Centre officer Michael Kilgore planted drugs in his car and used a police dog from another department to find the contraband.
“After (Officer) Kilgore’s scheme was exposed, the charges against Plaintiff and numerous other victims of the scheme were dropped. Accordingly, plaintiff brings this action for wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution,” said a complaint in the lawsuit filed in federal court last month.
William Sidney Blevins and his girlfriend Amanda Woods were driving from Leesburg to Centre, north of Gadsden, to meet with a friend on the night of January 25, at about 11 p.m. when an officer pulled them over, according to the complaint. Officer Michael Andrew Kilgore, 39, told Blevins he pulled him over because his tag light was out and asked to search the car. According to the complaint, Blevins said no to the search and the officer told them both to step out of the car and he put them in handcuffs.
A K-9 officer, Shane Butler, then arrived at the arrest scene with his dog and talked to Kilgore, according to the complaint. Butler walked around the car and ducked down by the open passenger door, out of sight of Blevins, according to the suit. Butler then stood up and went to get his K-9. Once at the car, the dog jumped in the passenger side.
“Kilgore came over and reached inside, then showed plaintiff a bag of what plaintiff assumed was illegal drugs. Kilgore claimed to have found the bag inside the vehicle,” the lawsuit said.
Blevins had never seen bag before, according to the suit. Officers arrested him for possessing methamphetamine and took him to Cherokee County Jail where he stayed until the next afternoon, according to the lawsuit. His lawsuit claims he was forced to sleep on the concrete jail floor which caused a shoulder injury. His name, mugshot and charges were published in the local paper.
On May 3, Kilgore was arrested for a criminal conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime-distribution. The suit says the charges against Blevins and several others were dropped after Kilgore’s arrest.
Kilgore is no longer employed by Centre police. Multiple efforts to reach Kilgore for comment were unsuccessful. His attorney in the case is not listed yet.
“I am afraid this case is just scratching the surface of the damage Officer Kilgore has done to the innocent people he arrested for possessing or distributing drugs, drugs that he planted on them so he could get another drug bust to his credit,” said Jon Goldfarb, Blevins’ attorney.
Butler is also named in the lawsuit. He is an officer at the Cedar Bluff Police Department. Neither Butler nor the Cedar Bluff Police Department returned multiple calls for comment for this article.
According to the complaint, a confidential informant had reported that Kilgore was planting evidence a few days after Blevins’ arrest and there was an investigation underway into Kilgore at the time Blevins visited the chief.
In total, Kilgore worked at the department for less than a year, according to the department’s Facebook page. After the first two months of his employment, the Centre Police Department announced online a significant number of arrests, many of them drug related. Of 138 new cases at the department between June and August of 2022, there were 70 arrests, including 49 charges from drug/narcotic violations and 26 from drug equipment violations, according to the department. Five charges were for possession of illegal prescription drugs. The department said it had removed 1.47 pounds of methamphetamine, a gram of heroin and 4.66 pounds of marijuana.
“We are very disappointed in Kilgore’s conduct,” said Centre Police Chief Kirk Blankenship in a public statement in May. “There is no excuse for any officer violating the law like this.”

I’m still searching everywhere for the ability to block entire instances in kbin (on mobile). Can you please elaborate on how it is done? I only see magazine pages with the block option.
500 is a little bit too hot, in my experience.
Splotchy finish is not really a big deal. It will even out over time. As long as it’s not sticky or burning off, entirely, just use it.
The method I follow is one I saw on YouTube years ago : preheat pan to 200 for 15 min, put crisco on in a thin layer, then wipe it “dry.” Return to oven and bump to 300 for 15 more minutes. Take it out and wipe the oil “dry” again (you’ll see that splotchy pattern starting to form - this added wipe helps keep the patina consistent). Return to the oven and increase to 400 for an hour. Kill the heat after one hour and just leave the pan inside during cooldown. If you want to do another coat, it’ll be at the 200 mark after about an hour of cooldown.
That said, I have always slathered on too much oil on the bottom and sides and never wiped it dry or re-wiped the splotches after 15 minutes. The splotches eventually evened out and the exterior is nice and glassy now.
Calamine Lotion dabbed on with a cotton ball at the site of the bug bite does a good job with itching.
If you live in a location where fire ants are a problem, keep some apple cider vinegar on hand. It neutralizes the venom and gives instant relief.
