Used to belong to a Homebrewing forum (beer, not computer servers), and they had monthly post about someone wanting to infuse their beer with tobacco. Which is where I learned that it will kill ya dead. Tobacco can be used externally to reduce swelling, chew on a wasp sting will prevent a lot of it. Or if you’re looking for trouble late in life I guess you could smoke it also, though that one seems a great deal less compelling to me.

Re-iterate - Don’t eat any food made with tobacco, it will harm you at the very least.

That might be one of the most adorable cats I’ve ever seen, and I like cats.

Don’t they know the females are the ones raised for meat?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4JE3SA Got that for my daughter. Can be put in the microwave for a warm experience, and I seem to remember it smelling of lavender when heated.

It is the sky. The sky is raining. Or the clouds, the clouds are raining. Either of those two would be a great answer to what “it” is.

I should note, they said plasma donation, which in the US are usually places that will pay you for the “donation”. The blood banks also take plasma donations, but I don’t think they will pay. Plasma donation is something that seems to be marketed to people that are just barely getting by. And so people lying about their conditions tend to make more sense, as they are just trying to find ways to make ends meet, or have just a little bit of money to spend after expenses.

Who is your “they” in this scenario? Because R’s sure don’t fit into that “they”.

Where do you live? Can’t imagine all the effort it would take to catch all the brown anoles in Orlando.

Was this in St. Augustine? That coquina stone is everywhere there.

And it’s so rare to see a green anole anymore, I see maybe 1/10,000 living here. Last I knew, Hawaii still has the green ones though.

Maybe, but third party presidential, when there is no legislators is never going to happen, never going to be elected, and never get any bills passed. Aiming for the white house as the first stop is just silly.

And I thought my cat’s purr was loud. Is quiet by comparison.

My family also ended up with a clipped ear cat. She came up to us one night, and was friendly, then for the next two weeks she showed up everyday we got home from work. So, now she’s our inside cat, and we all love her, she is so friendly to everyone. Even followed an AC tech around the house trying to get love from him too. One of the best cats I’ve ever had.

Sure wish they were quiet enough to sleep through.

It certainly can be, but it’s such a high bar to get over that these days I’m not sure there will be another amendment.

Very curious what fur that is. I can’t think of an animal that is orange at the tips but has a black under coat. Looks to big to be fox, but feel like that’s red/white.

We didn’t domesticate cats, as it turns out. They domesticated themselves, or so I’ve read. Something about the rats eating our grain and the cats coming around to eats the rodents and then getting comfortable being around us humans.

Imma start flingin shit if this video doesn’t load soon!

You absolutely can ask them that. Noticing it is not the same thing as getting distracted by it. Allowing your focus to be highjacked by the environment is a sign of a weak mind. If you went to work and a coworker told you the shape of your nose was distracting to them, and you need to wear a mask so they can continue to work, that is on the coworker, not you. It is absurd to put someone else in charge of what needs to be done to stop you from being distracted.

People need to control themselves, no one else has that ability.

The one that wants to overthrow democracy and would like to fund the ethnic cleansing at an even higher rate/amount is the fascist. The one that has encouraged Israel to go faster / do more in Gaza is the fascist. I do not like Biden’s weakness confronting Israel, but one is a cheerleader, and one is weakly pushing for caution.

One is going to be picked for you either way. Not voting doesn’t stop the shit eating from happening, just allows the lighting on fire to also happen.

By choosing the less shit option, politicians will see they need to be less shit to get elected, eventually to the point of maybe even having good candidates. Allowing the worst candidate to win tells the politicians they can get worse and still have their coveted power.
