"Gunman pistol-whips pizza employee over wrong order, fatally shoots deputy in escape, and remains at large."

It just felt very backwards to me.

There's a couple of good clips of her in The Forest Hills (Horror, 2023) in which she's playing old but not that far from her normal appearance. I particularly enjoyed hearing her voice. I always thought she looked weird when she was younger, here she just looks like a tired old woman.

Sometimes that's because, while you're in need of an emergency room, you have the time and ability to drive or be driven there. A broken bone, for instance. Or excessive bleeding from a miscarriage. And having a 3rd person to help in the back seat can make driving a more viable option. Driving yourself while likely to become unconscious is not advisable.

I would have called an ambulance because they have sirens to get through traffic and go fast, and can start treatment as soon as they arrive, plus you can give emergency aid yourself until they arrive, instead of driving.

However, I acknowledge that my local paramedics are closer than my nearest hospital, and traffic is a greater factor than distance in Los Angeles. It might pan out differently on empty roads in the middle of nowhere.

I also know from my spouse's several life-and-death medical crises that it's hard to stay calm. Which argues against driving but explains the choice. I've run into a Code Blue and taken over, because I knew my spouse's very specific needs were being missed. I would never do anything like that normally, but I did bring him back, so yeah, you do what you need to do.

I'm glad your wife is okay, and you didn't crash into anyone.

Captain America respects the law, it's kind of his thing. Not saying he's never broken a law, but it's not his first choice. Unless it's the laws of physics, but that's a convention of the genre which he's upholding.

Captain America, here just in time to save Democracy from the fascists again.

That's a nectarine, not a peach.

A real peach is fuzzy.

Those babies are still little enough, if they and mom are trapped, she can be TNR and they can be socialized and adopted!

Restaurants have a specific time they put out their bags, which is several hours before the trucks actually come around. I don't remember the numbers but there was an article about it, probably in the NYT because I subscribe for the games despite living in LA. (We use cans and Dumpsters here. Still haven't got the whole compost thing figured out, though.)

Anyway, see if there's a TNR organization that can foster those sweet fluffballs!

When the moisture dried up and the oxygen was depleted, the Sandworm eggs slept for millions of years..... until one day the Moss came, bringing air and water and food. The carnivorous Sandworms couldn't eat the Moss, but the creatures who tended it were delicious.

Except rats have been chewing through the bags, hence the bins. Knowing NYC rats they will probably learn to chew into the bins too, though. Having put-out time and pick-up time closer together would/will make more impact on the rat problem, imho
