That would deserve a holiday akin to the 4th.

That's my problem. I have a lot of stray cats around me, so I buy a lot of cat food.

Locally an 8kg bag is $32.

If I drive 60km round trip to walmart, that same bag is $25.

Amazon with free shipping, that bag is $22.

Not a huge difference but I don't have a lot of money and it adds up fast, especially since I buy 5-6 bags a month. ($10 savings on a bag X 5 is $50 a month, or $600 a year.)

Edit: A few of the rodents (I spilled treats on the floor and they were kind enough to help clean up the mess.)

I really hope it has fallen off that cliff only to drown in the lake in the valley.

My music folder is 8006 files (53.7GB) but I probably only listen to maybe 200 of them that are actually in my normal playlist.

Fresnel lenses (like the kind you can tear out of old projection tv's) work great for that, but they're kind of a pain and bulky, and very impractical. I have one I took out of an old 55" projection tv. I think charcoal firestarters by a tire works better and can be "deployed" in seconds, but concentrated light is still pretty cool. This vid shows how well they can work.

Good point. I didn't think to add that because I rarely carry my tracking devices with me.

Filming only helps so much though. Cover your face and anything identifying, wear clothes and shoes from a thrift store, put a pebble in your shoe (to force you to walk differently) etc, and it's pretty hard to link you to anything without some solid evidence.

Accelerants and or/ firestarters placed near the tires. Once you get the rubber burning the rest kind of takes care of itself.

I've known a few truck drivers like that, with the air seat almost as low as it can go. The only thing they'd even be capable of seeing is an air strike.

I'm 8/8 and not even an American. (Not like that's difficult. The only way to mess up one of those questions is if you can't read.) I'm sure most Trumpettes know too, they just don't want to admit that even Dr Seuss was more grounded in reality than they are.

 

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

Well that was unexpected. Rip Matthew

I saw the String cheese post so I thought I'd share my own "slightly beyond best before date" consumable. I used to have two of them that I had found in my attic under some insulation, but the other one froze in my garage and broke open. (No, it did NOT smell pleasant. I'm pretty sure whatever vile liquid is in that thing does not resemble beer in any way, shape, or form.)

It's perched on a flashlight to try and show the sediment that's built up on the bottom of the bottle.

My daughter found her alone on the side of a gravel road yesterday morning and brought her to my house. We think she's about 6 weeks old. I had to edit the post title three times because she keeps stepping on the keyboard to attack and viciously lick my fingers.
