  5. Well, they DO say red meat is bad for you… British officials recently determined the shocking and tragic way that a Welsh man died last year. The Western Telegraph reported that Barry Griffiths, 57, died after accidentally knifing himself while separating frozen burgers in June 2023. Officials announced the results of the investigation at a coroner’s court hearing on Monday. Griffiths, a resident of Llandrindod Wells, had been trying to separate the frozen burgers with a knife when he stabbed himself in the stomach. During Monday’s hearing, coroner Patricia Morgan said Griffiths had reduced mobility in one of his arms after a stroke, which likely led to the freak accident. Tragically, Griffiths’ body remained in his apartment for several days after his death. Morgan noted that Griffiths “[had a] relatively private life with limited contact with others,” which was why it took over a week for police to conduct a wellness check.
  6. It's a good thing we're all so clear on this! I'm seeing my pulmonologist in November; I'll ask him then.
  7. In the national league, several teams are trying desperately to win wildcard spots. In the American League, several teams are trying desperately to lose wildcard spots. Right at the end of August, the Royals took the first three games of a series with Cleveland to move into a tie for first place. Cleveland won the last game of the series which began a seven game losing streak for the Royals, which they recovered from by winning seven of their next nine games, which has now been negated by them losing their sixth in a row today. But while they've been going 7-15, the twins have also been playing like shit so the Royals are still the second wildcard, but the Tigers actually have a chance to finish as the number two wildcard and Seattle is not out of it either yet because of the incompetence of KC and Minnesota. It's weird how none of the teams with winning records this year have had extended stretches where they have played like total crap!

  12. There’s buzz in the film world that Netflix ain’t so happy with Martha Stewart after the domestic diva dared to slam her upcoming documentary, “Martha.” Adding to the awkward situation, we hear the streaming service flew Stewart via private jet to the film’s premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival. A source told Page Six: “As you can imagine, Netflix is pissed. During a Q&A with the Daily Beast’s Joanna Coles at a diner for CEOs on Sept. 10, Stewart reportedly said that the doc’s director, R.J. Cutler, “refused to change anything.” “I try not to talk publicly about the things I don’t like, [as] it’s not good business,” she allegedly said during the discussion with Coles. But, “I can talk a little bit badly about that,” she quipped of the film. Stewart then said, according to the Daily Beast, “It’s more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair.”

  14. Ready to roll the dice and take a tour of Queens, one property at a time? The world’s most famous board game is getting a local twist with the debut of MONOPOLY: Queens Edition. This special version of the iconic game will be officially unveiled on Saturday, Oct. 5, at Queens Center Mall, located at 90-15 Queens Blvd. in Elmhurst. The MONOPOLY: Queens Edition replaces the perennial board game’s spaces (from ‘Boardwalk’ to ‘Park Place’) with Queens’ own landmarks, organizations and businesses. It features customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure the board is a historic and enduring tribute to one of the most popular destinations in the eastern U.S.

  16. How can that be when you don't even look old enough to drive?
  17. Ohtani became the first player in major league history with multiple home runs, multiple stolen bases and five hits in a game (he also had seven RBIs at the time). When he hit his third home run in the ninth inning, he became just the second player with six hits and five extra-base hits in a game, matching former Dodgers outfielder Shawn Green (Ohtani broke Green's club record of 49 home runs on Thursday, as well). And Ohtani is the first player with five extra-base hits and 10 RBIs in a game. He is two Home runs behind Judge and given how both have been lately I wouldn't be surprised if he ties or surpasses him before the end of the season. With 34 doubles, seven triples, and 51 homers he is eight extra base hits shy of 100. I wouldn't put that past him, either. His 51 homers have come off of 50 pitchers. And his home runs came in his last three at bats of the game, so if he homers in his first at bat in his next game…
  18. I was on it for 7 months last year, until I couldn't afford to refill it, so I am familiar with it- I'm just still in the mood to binge eat (and further exacerbate my health problems).
  19. I've been eating non-stop for a couple of months and have put on almost 10 pounds. I'm completely out of control. I saw my endocrinologist 9/6 and he said he'd see if he had any Ozempic samples to give me if I thought it would help get me restarted. It turns out he had a 3 month supply. It's still unopened 2 weeks later.

  21. Wild video shows an 8-year-old Ohio girl swerving her family’s SUV across lanes on a 25-minute joyride to go shopping in Target. Dashcam footage released Wednesday shows alarmed motorist Justin Kimery calling 911 on Sunday, assuming it was an adult driving dangerously in a 2020 Nissan Rogue. “There’s a guy in a car, he’s like right behind me. He’s swerving all over, he’s swerving everywhere like in all the lanes,” Kimery said — not realizing at first it was a young girl behind the wheel. The girl had $400 on her and used it to shop around — which police said they made sure she returned to her parents. She had checked out before cops arrived, employees said, without detailing exactly what she bought. While no one was hurt during her long-winded spin behind the wheel, the little girl confessed she smashed a mailbox somewhere along her route, leaving a dent in her parents’ car. https://nypost.com/2024/09/19/us-news/footage-shows-eight-year-old-ohio-girls-joyride-to-target/

  23. Stunning drone footage shows vulnerable oceanfront houses that dot the Outer Banks on the brink of collapsing into the sea. The footage — recorded Friday by WRAL News in Raleigh-Durham — caught a cluster of homes in Rodanthe, North Carolina, that the water seems particularly intent on claiming. The banks have already foreclosed on some of the houses, which once stood about 100 yards away from the rising surf, one homeowner said. “So many people say hateful things [and] ask why we built our house in the middle of the ocean,” said Sharon Troy, whose family has owned one of the homes for 16 years. “It was not like this when we bought it,” she said of her house, which is near a pile of sand that used to be GA Kohler Street. “There was a football field of beach behind these houses.” Not anymore. Now it stands in the path of waves with a group of other homes after years of beach erosion and high winds as sea levels rise. The waves splash wildly against the wooden footings of the houses — even at low tide, the station said. And their septic tanks have cracked open, spilling sewage into the water. “It wasn’t like this just a few years ago. And, we aren’t rich people. We are hard-working normal people. We can’t afford to move it,” she said. “There is nowhere to move it,” Troy continued. “The insurance company won’t pay out until it falls over.” Mark Gray, of WM Dunn Construction, told WRAL that his company has been contracted to clean up debris from at least five of the homes in the last few years. “When it’s rough like this, like when the last one went in, we had to clean 11 miles of beach,” Gray told the station. “It’s a mess.” The waves do their damage quickly — Gray said that between Monday and Tuesday last week, the ocean swallowed up another few feet of sand. “It’s changed the whole dynamics of this thing,” the contractor said. “Eventually, when the ocean erodes enough of the beach, then it takes the foundation out from under the house,” he continued. “As it lost beach, it lost the sand under its pilings and eventually the house just collapsed.” “We’re bringing more equipment down to get ready for the potential collapse of the house,” he added. “Everything’s changed now. If the house falls, there’s no beach to get on to clean it up, so I don’t know what we’re going to do.” “It’s a really unfortunate situation because that debris can scatter long distances across the seashore,” Cape Hatteras National Seashore Superintendent Dave Hallac told the station. Climate change is further exacerbating the natural erosion that shifts the sands of the ever-changing barrier islands, Hallac said. And that puts more and more buildings at risk. “When you add a foot of water or 2 feet of water, that just makes everything worse,” Hallac said. Meanwhile, saltwater floods the neighborhood’s sandy, barely-paved streets, reminding the 200 or so residents left that their little beach community is on the clock. “It’s incredibly sad,” Troy, the homeowner, said. “All we can do is hope and pray.” The troubling scene has played out time and again along the Outer Banks, a 200-mile string of barrier islands off North Carolina and Virginia. Last month, another house in Rodanthe collapsed into the sea in a caught-on-camera disaster —and it was the seventh house to be carried away by rising tides in just the last four years. David and Teresa Kern of Hershey, Pennsylvania, had bought the four-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation home in 2019 for $339,000. The destruction left the couple scrambling to salvage what they could of their finances. The Kern’s 1,500 square-foot home collapsed into the ocean back in August. Debris from the home is seen washed up on shore. A cluster of homes in Rodanthe, North Carolina, are on the brink of collapse because of sea level rise and erosion
  24. This historic cruise ship once had a bright future, but now it’s been repossessed by the city of Stockton, California. After purchasing the former German passenger liner and “pocket” cruise ship Wappen von Hamburg on Craigslist in 2008, Utah-bred tech entrepreneur Chris Wilson spent 15 years and more than $1 million painstakingly restoring it, CNN reported. He renamed it Aurora, for a time lived on it with his partner Jin Li, and moved it to multiple California waterways as he poured countless hours into rehabilitating the vessel — with dreams of transforming it into a museum. For some time, Wilson appeared to be well on his way to giving Aurora a fresh lease on life. That’s until multiple other large ships sunk near where it was moored just outside of Stockton and, realizing “there was really no future for Aurora” at that location, he decided to offload it. In October 2023, he says, he sold Aurora. “Maybe Aurora wasn’t in the right place,” Li commented to CNN. “Maybe if Aurora was in a different state, or a different country it would have been different.” Then, this May, Aurora began sinking. “It has been determined the ship has suffered a hole and is taking on water and is currently leaking diesel fuel and oil into the Delta Waterway,” the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office posted on X. Far from one man’s passion project, it has now become Stockton’s headache. The city has taken over the ship, which community relations officer Connie Cochran told CNN currently has “no clear ownership” and is working on “figuring out how to dispose of the vessel,” a goal that is complicated by the fact that Aurora is located beyond the city’s technical limits and is more than 2,400 tons. “We absolutely loved our time with that ship,” Wilson told CNN, adding of the present situation: “It haunts me and I lose sleep over it. I’m not happy about it.”
