In case there's a paywall, here's the essence:

"ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York City man has been charged with smuggling three Burmese pythons in his pants at a U.S-Canadian border crossing.

Calvin Bautista, 36, is accused of bringing the hidden snakes on a bus that crossed into northern New York on July 15, 2018. Importation of Burmese pythons is regulated by an international treaty and by federal regulations listing them as “injurious to human beings.”

Bautista, of Queens, was arraigned Tuesday in Albany on the federal smuggling charge and released pending trial, according to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman.

An email seeking comment was sent to Bautista’s lawyer.

The charge carries the potential for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine as high as $250,000, according to federal prosecutors.

The Burmese python, one of the world’s largest snakes, is considered a vulnerable species in its native Asia and is invasive in Florida, where it threatens native animals."

It can be mistaken for tea. Hot water, bourbon, honey, lemon juice.

Thanks.
I was fairly sure what my grandmother used to give me was not a hot toddy.

I can bring the dragon for you! Or would you prefer the unicorn? It has a matching drink floaty.

I can attest to the unicorn being really nice.

There was nothing hot about it?

Where you and I grew up, they did variations on it that basically amounted to giving kids straight whiskey to knock em out.

My family were almost all tea-totalers but most of them kept a bottle of Rye for "medicinal purposes"

I remember a cousin once found his dad's stash and we all tried a swig. It was bottom shelf stuff so most of us hated.

Yep, my grandmother, who I cannot recall ever seeing drink anything but wine, had a bottle of bourbon strictly for "medicinal purposes."
My mother went one better than that - she passed the bourbon and went straight for liquid benadryl.
I will never forget the day my brother said to me, "hey, did you ever wonder why mom always gave us benadryl, even when we didn't have any sort of allergies." I thought about it for a minute, and a big ol' lightbulb went on ... "holy shit, mama used to drug us with benadryl!"

I know, I know, it explains a lot.

The case took time to snake through the bureaucracy.

Perfect time to ask for a hefty raise.

My response was that we’d need to reset expectations because the last two months spent supporting 2 teams was very taxing.

And yeah- is it his expectation that i’d do it for fucking free, out of the goodness of my heart? He obviously has no idea how black this little lump of coal actually is.

Me to new co-worker: "This client with multiple locations has a different ad schedule for each different location. These should be consistent across the board, can you confirm which ad schedule they want running on all of them or at the least confirm they're aware of the inconsistency and want it that way?"

New co-worker: "I'm confused, which ad schedule should we be consistently using?"

Me: "That's what I need you to find out from the client, just tell them they have a bunch of different ones and we need to either know which one they want to be using for all their locations or a confirmation that they're fine with them being different."

I believe they are pushing electric vehicles on us too hard and recklessly.

There isn't the infrastructure for them yet and battery safety is dubious.
