I mean, sure, a little pricey, but some chairs cost as much and they’re not specifically designed to make baby squirt like a startled octopus.

Easy answer there, the women have already spoken (pictured: sybian inventor Dave Lampert).

Not by a long shot, no.

Sweet Jesus, I can well imagine, except for the scale on account of some whales being school bus-sized. Rotten rodents don’t hold a candle given the 1000:1 or more ratio.

I do not envy you that situation, it’s what all the cool kids are calling “sub optimal”.

I can remember reading years ago, that by the book, technically any alteration of the U.S. flag is considered desecration in-and-of-itself. I’m talking changing the number of stars or stripes, the colours therein, etc. What was surprising to me was that its use of things like patterned lawn chairs, t-shirts, underclothes and swimwear, beer cozies, Thin Blue Line patches, etc. are also considered to be desecration by their use on non-flag implements.

TL:DR MAGA chodes constantly desecrating flag by shoehorning it into almost every possible application, up to and including Trump’s face splashed across the center of it.

Speaking as a foreigner, this shit is so profoundly pathetic, United States. Get your fucking shit together. Not only should you all be well past shitting all over the queer community, but dispatching cops to guard crosswalks in any capacity other than ensuring school kids using them safely after school should embarrass everyone on both sides of the aisle.

Edit: *safely

Even better, they’ve been militarizing for decades already. Somehow some people are only now getting wind of it?

I’ve never had the misfortune of dealing with it IRL myself, but the stories from cops who’ve had to retrieve bloated ‘floaters’ from shorelines or bodies of water are pretty daunting - describing ‘the deceased’ as sometimes coming apart in their hands like an overcooked pot roast (“fall off the bone ribs, $9.99 this Thursday at Al’s Cookhouse!”).

Got to be honest here, I know and patronize a lot of Mom & Pop shops, but it hadn’t occurred to me until just now that there were still independent ice cream shops anymore. I’m super jelly that you have one available to you.

That makes good sense. Best I had before your pig farming idea was that they really loved ducks, or had to make 10,000 sandwiches on a short timeline.

That’s it, this is my best science news for the year. Nothing is going to top finding a new moon.

Yeah, that really sucks for farmers. Sometimes it’s a case of variance based on genetic foibles of specific plant varieties, but I’ve been told that it’s sometimes a result of the plant’s reaction to some kind of pathogen (mold, bacteria, fungus, etc.). Some of them just grow into weird shapes despite being 100% A-OK.

Same problem as found in fruits and vegetables, which is to say that there is none and sell it to me for 1/2 price. Gimme, gimme, gimme that cheap bread.

A musician/celebrity with high moral standards and personal integrity, imagine that, huh?

I’m with you on this one, the situation would be almost comical, if it weren’t so pathetic. When I was really young (Grades 1-3), busybodies in my neighbourhood petitioned for buses to be started because of ‘hazardous traffic’ caused by the expansion of a nearby arterial route. The irony being that the road which was being rebuilt (widened) was not in between the neighbourhood and school, but on the the very far bordering edge, and would not be crossed by any students on their way to school.

So it was that I, and dozens of others, started getting bussed 5 blocks to school ‘for safety reasons’. I now know people whose houses border the field adjacent to the school at which their children attend, who drive them to the front doors every single day.

It’s the technicalities of the legal process. Cops knew he did it, but fucked up and bungled the case by losing the evidence that would have seen him have the judge throw the book at him. It didn’t happen because courts are lenient on murdering chomos, it happened because the PD involved in the case were fucking halfwits. Also, it’s not “turning into” anything, John Walsh started hosting America’s Most Wanted in the early 90’s - his son Adam was murdered before then, these events are decades old.
