Are you looking for a source or tips? I don't know anyone that sells fried turkey in the area. I've been frying my own for 20 years without issues. I do recommend doing a smaller bird and getting a large single container of oil (can't remember how much it holds) someplace like bjs. It makes it much easier to pour off and save for reuse. It can be used many times as long as you store it out of the sun.

For safety, shut the burner off when you submerge or remove the turkey. Also, use the displacement of water from the turkey (before you unwrap it) to determine how much oil you should use.

It’s known to be a cult and owner of the right wing newspaper the Epoch Times that publishes conspiracies. Li Hongzhi is the leader of Falun Gong.

>>Li has been open about his beliefs that evolution is fraudulent, that people of different races will be separated in Heaven, and that homosexuality and promiscuity are unnatural. He told Time that aliens were attempting to control humans by making us dependent on modern science.

Not trying to be coy, just don't want to tell people what to do as far as join them or not. Just want people to do their research before joining them because they may not be completely honest about their group

I'm not an expert on it, just wanted people to be aware

> Falun Gong extensions include The Epoch Times, a politically far-right media entity that has received significant attention for promoting conspiracy theories, such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation, and producing advertisements for former U.S. President Donald Trump. Shen Yun has also received significant media coverage for its emphasis on, for example, anti-evolution statements and promotion of Falun Gong doctrine, while presenting itself as founded upon ancient tradition

Well, It happened in Oakland Mills in 2020 behind the shopping center where Dunkin’ donuts is and between my condo on whiteacre road. I was home and heard heard one gunshot and then went to the window and looked out and saw two groups of multiple males pull out fire arms and start shooting at each other. Was at least 10 people. They fired about 20-30 shots and then started running separate directions. Pretty sure one person was shot. I’m probably one of several people who called the police. HOCO police came and blocked off the parking lot as a crime scene for half the day collecting shell casings. I even witnessed one of the gunmen run and jump into his window of a condo across from my building. I told 911 dispatch I saw where one of the shooters went and I would be more than willing to be a witness for police, but they never came to my door or called.

This was the second shooting I witnessed within a six month span while living there.

I’m calling 100% bullshit on a “10-person shootout” in Columbia — at least during any period since 1986. That’s when I moved up here to start my career as a journalist. Post a link to the news story, please.

Also, it’s important to understand that racism needs those ridiculous levels of exaggeration to sustain itself.

This is the best answer. If you want your kid to have fun you need to find a place with kids and great parents. We got lucky and found a place like that. 2 kids within a week of my kiddo and all the parents, mostly, are awesome. Although we overpaid when we bought this house it was worth it.
