I need help
I need a city in Texas for the book
and I can't decide
There should be a small airport there
It should be the location for a large factory
I don't want any of the “usual suspects”
and ok I might need a second one too
I have already looked at maps of Texas
I liked Beaumont, but it's really small and has almost no industry
Does anyone have any ideas?
Please help!

La imagen muestra a cuatro personas dentro de una gran taza de café de Starbucks, con el logotipo "SKYBUCKS COFFEE" en la taza. La escena parece estar ambientada en una casa, con un fondo que incluye una cocina con muebles de madera, una escalera y decoraciones en la pared, como figuras de animales. Las personas están sentadas y parecen estar interactuando entre sí, con expresiones de diversión. La taza de café es tan grande que ocupa la mayor parte del espacio visible, creando una escena surrealista y humorística.

And, yet, it works perfectly in #debian thanks to extrepo. But, seriously, it should be considered as the default Debian browser.
Congratulations to the team!

The article states 'both ministers said that donations to parties were not considered to be a conflict".
Of course they are.
This is exactly what a corrupt minister on the take would say - the same sly reframing and dodging happened repeatedly in the UK while Tories eroded essential infrastructures and extracted money for personal gain, allocated for healthcare etc. And Trump, well he always frames his worst actions as if normal to dodge accountability. These are gutter level ethics.
A crooked line rarely says it is crooked, but still is.
History shows that as long as this practice continues, dodgy wealthy entities distort what could be more functional infrastructure and exploit a population. Also that it escalates to chaos if not stopped early.

Frühlingskonzert zum Muttertag…..KulturForum goes Classic
Mit einem neuen Format stellte sich der Verein KulturForum Kaarst e.V. am Sonntag den Kaarster Bürgerinnen und Bürgern vor. Für 14 Uhr hatte man zu einem Frühlingskonzert ins AEF eingeladen.Birgit Hannemann (www.kulturforum-kaarst.de)
Das Bild zeigt zwei Personen, eine Frau und einen Mann, die gemeinsam an einem schwarzen Klavier sitzen. Die Frau, mit langen dunklen Haaren, trägt ein dunkles, offenes Oberteil und singt, während sie den Mund leicht geöffnet hat. Der Mann, mit grauem Haar, sitzt neben ihr und scheint auf das Klavier zu blicken, möglicherweise um die Noten zu studieren. Das Klavier hat die Deckel geöffnet, wodurch die Innenteile sichtbar sind, und es ist ein klassisches, glänzendes Modell. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einem dunklen Vorhang, der die Szene umrahmt. Die Atmosphäre wirkt konzentriert und musikalisch.
