I am from the south and my fucking family is affected by Helene dude. Sorry for not being thrilled when Dems (would you prefer I say libs, even when it’s entirely along party lines?) jerk off about how the stupid southerners deserve to die for voting for Republicans.

How many cheques would a pay cheque check if a pay cheque could check cheques?

Literally had someone tell me they loved (exact words) seeing towns in Tennessee flooded out response to my recent microblog memes post 🙃 I also can’t tell you how many snide ass Dems I see saying that they brought it on themselves by living in a red state, like there aren’t people voting Dem there anyway, or like voting Dem is a magic ward to stop climate disaster from affecting you.

All these people hoarding TP must feel like morons now. (jk, they’re incapable of introspection)

It would be great if more people could look at this as “there but for the grace of God go I” and less as an opportunity to take a fat fucking dump on the unburied corpses of people they know nothing about.

They’re solid wood, it’s hard to misuse those so badly that they become nonfunctional unless you’re washing them in the dishwasher (terrible for all wood) or letting them sit in dirty dishes for ages or something. I haven’t had any issues with the wooden spoons I got from them several years ago.

If you want to maximize production, yeah, you cut at certain times of the year to force the trees to put as much energy into the fruit as possible. But if you just leave them outside they will fruit as long as they are sufficiently watered and have enough room to grow (and it’s not insanely stressed from a drought or heat wave, etc). There might not be as many fruits, and they might be smaller, but it will produce. But ideally you always want to choose fruit or nut trees that are native to your region (or at least your agricultural zone) so that they require less upkeep in general.

I can smell the 80s on this and it smells like a smoker’s house (I promise I mean it in a nonderogatory way, that describes my childhood home lol).

I can understand why people aren’t into the titty armor, but I respect putting it on both the men and the women.

Ikea has them for $2-8, depending on the size and type of wood. $85 is for twee decoration or something, yikes.

Yeah, I don’t think it was intended to be comprehensive given that it was a single sentence.

Stainless steel is lighter, and more importantly doesn’t contain flame retardant.

My siblings live in an area affected by Helene, and I thank fucking god the one that works in a warehouse has the Gen Z attitude of “get fucked lol” when it comes to employers.

When the worst of the storm was coming through the stance of county 911 was that if you call they’re not coming unless someone is about to die. And yet some of these companies expect people to risk their lives to show up for $10-15 an hour? It’s insane.

I understand why everyone can’t just tell their employer to go fuck themselves, it’s just a horrible situation if you ever find yourself in the position of having to make the call of, ‘do I lose my job for what may or may not be a genuine emergency?’

I’ve legitimately never heard polyglot used to mean “speaks two languages”, I thought it meant “speaks three or more languages.” I can understand it being useful to have a specific term for people raised with two languages from birth/very early childhood though.

Filling your lawn with native plants and making it friendlier to fireflies will go a lot further than buying fireflies to live in an area where they have no habitat to reproduce. If you build rewild it, they will come!

While you might not want to completely eliminate your lawn, !nolawns@slrpnk.net is a good resource for ideas on how to rework your lawn to benefit your local wildlife.

I think in this instance it might be “from the article”

I’ve felt the latter at a huge, extremely crowded parade and it was the scariest shit I’ve ever felt. Waves is the right word, because it was like being in a wave pool made of people. Fortunately nothing serious happened, but I have never noped the fuck out of anywhere that fast as soon as we were able to.

Really wanting to post this in reply to the guy on my Nextdoor neighborhood who is always posting about UFOs when we live near an active airport and can easily see launches from a nearby AFB, lol

Gavin Newsom didn’t veto a cool law?

The penalty for violating the law is detailed disclosures related to the favoritism, without disclosing the admitted students’ names.

Nevermind, this is toothless.

I hope you’re treated with the exact amount of compassion you’re showing here when climate change affects your home.
