Sheriff’s Deputy hit unarmed 19y/o with cruiser, then shot him

I did not see this in other news publications so am not sure if more clarity. As described, the young man was not a crime suspect and was unarmed. As he ran away the cop hit him with his car then shot and killed him. I hope his family gets justice.

Questions about name change petitions

This summer, I plan to get married and would like to have my preferred name listed on the marriage document. Should I change my name before the wedding, even if I will have to change my last name again after I marry? I intend to hyphenate our last names.

Additionally, I'm confused about the redaction form and how to fill it out. I’m unsure about how to redact my information and whether I need to submit both the redacted and unredacted versions to the court.

If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Research on appalachian-adjacent stories in Mark Twain

Helping my nephew on a research project on forrest-based lore and other hiking stories rooted in appalacian folklore. Is there anything like this in relation to Mark Twain Natl Park? Hes a 3rd year english student at university and its half a passion project but we thought we’d ask here too

Is it normal for car insurance quotes in Missouri to jump this much?

I've been getting quotes for full coverage and they're all over the place. Anywhere from $180 to $282 per month. That's like a $100 difference, which seems crazy to me. I'm worried about just picking the cheapest one bc there might be a catch or the coverage sucks.

Is this normal in Missouri or am I doing something wrong and should I be suspicious of the low quotes?

Unemployment

This is my first time going on unemployment due to my
Job closing its doors and every place I apply to rejecting me due to “lack of experience”. I have waited my two weeks for filing, and am now on my third so first week of getting a payment. I was expecting to get it yesterday, but it still says pending. How long does it normally take to load into your account?

Flags over I-70 today

Driving between KC and Columbia I must have seen half a dozen groups on overpasses waving American flags. Any idea if this was a coordinated thing or just Monday in rural communities?

Best way to handle mice in a crawlspace?

We moved to a place with a little bit of land near Wentzville/O'Fallon a few months ago and the field mice are driving me crazy. Found droppings on top of the lawnmower cover last week and now I'm hearing scratching in the floorboards at night.

I put down those green bait blocks from Home Depot but they aren't touching them, and my cat is completely useless. I don't want them ruining the insulation down there. Who do you guys use around the St. Charles area that doesn't force you into a high-pressure corporate contract?

Edit: Thanks for the PMs. Ended up calling All Solutions Pest Control since they’re family-owned and could get a tech out here tomorrow to seal up the crawlspace vents.

Imagine a future in which your grandkids have never seen an acorn...

This was part two of The Ozark Podcast's conversation with AJ Hendershott from the Ozark Chinquapin Foundation. Think they're doing really cool work to bring back this tree species.

https://www.ozarkweekly.com/p/ozark-chinquapin-2

The whole "functionally extinct" vs truly extinct distinction was interesting--the tree is stuck in a type of "death loop" since it stump sprouts, but can never grow big enough to reproduce before the blight kills it again.

>Imagine a future in which your grandkids have never seen an acorn...

That sounds ridiculous, but it’s close to the experience our grandparents have with the Ozark Chinquapin. In one lifetime, this tree went from being so abundant people used shovels to gather chinquapin nuts off the ground to being so rare they’re nearly unheard of.

Ozarkers have helped pull other species back from the edge of extinction—like the black bear and turkey. So saving the Chinquapin could be the great conservation story of our generation.

TIL the City of St. Louis, Missouri separated from St. Louis County in 1877 to form an independent city, limiting it to 66 sq mi. Peaking at 856K residents in 1950, St. Louis City has declined to 278K residents in 2025 due to suburbanization outside of city limits while being unable to annex land.
