Strange Amber Alert case. I wondered how they knew who the carjacker was but I guess she's known to the family. -- (link) - Meg Jul 7, 16:20 2
- The age of the victim certainly is unusual. A 16-year-old boy isn't usually the subject of an Amber Alert. - Mop Jul 7, 17:14
- The above doesn't include it but she apparently carjacked the car from the mom at gunpoint and the kid was in the back seat. -- nm - Meg Jul 7, 16:22

It's clear to me now that Chips Ahoy! cookies in the large "family sized" packages are prepared at a different plant or line than those in the smaller - Mop Jul 7, 16:03 6

  - I'm so sorry. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 17:07
  - Fresh baked, yes, but with some crispness. The fake soft batch kind are heinous. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 16:12 1
    - Crime against nature is what they are -- nm - Epiphany Jul 7, 16:14
- I like them crispy on the edges, but most chips ahoy are pretty crappy overall. - JaxSean Jul 7, 16:06

  - Right? I'm having trouble making the math add up -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 15:03 3

NASA was a good sport about Pence touching that "DO NOT TOUCH" object and Pence made a joke about it. -- (link) - Mop Jul 7, 13:04 7
