I mean, yeah, the slush fund is bad, and his name came up a few times in the Epstein files, and he's needlessly killing tons of people around the world extrajudicially, and if it stopped there, a regular look would suffice. But have you seen these gas prices?! If I was a less gracious person, I'd be tempted to say he is on his way to a full brow furrowing at this rate!
Anyone got info on the Jan 31 incident that is the origin of this? I couldn't find anything, just an earlier shouting match between the cops and Lions.
Typically, open carry is legal in all of Pennsylvania except Philadelphia, where you need a carry license to open carry. Usually the Philly-only gun laws get overturned rather quickly, but this seems to have remained in place for 20 years with few legal challenges.
Dunno why the ATF was brought into the original comments, as this seems to be a city and/or state issue. Feds don't look to be involved here.
I'm in the US, so we learn (some) about African people that were brought here and to the Caribbean. It is terrible what happened, but they came up with many great things to help them get through. They brought with them foods, music, and traditions that now feel engrained in the greater society here, regardless of one's origins.
We still have a very long way to go on fixing people's biases, but many people have much more foreign influence in their daily lives than they might be aware of.
With pending uncertainty of the effects of climate change, who knows who the next group of immigrants will be, and those people should hope that they have shown good treatment to those seeking help in the past.
I love all the quick breads, since I can make them up quickly whenever something calls for some. It's also fun to mix in random ingredients to suit my mood. Breads are some of my favorite foods in general.
I can't understand why people still get so hung up on immigration. We have the rich and modern cultures we have because we haven't stayed in one place and kept to ourselves. We move about and share the best of our ideas with each other and find ways to make even greater things. Food, music, stories, science, and so much more. Never have I learned something about another group of people and felt I was worse off than before. Even if it isn't something I would enjoy for me, it shows me something I had never considered before.
It looks to be based on a golden decoration on King Tut's sarcophagus, depicting Isis's guidance toward the afterlife. You can see it at 2:10 of the video here.
The glyphs on the thrift store find appear to be different so this may just be a souvenir from an exhibit.
I went looking for recipes, but ended up with a history lesson as well about Indian people in the Caribbean. Very interesting, and the food sounds delicious!
I make roti frequently, but whenever I try to stuff them, I get too overzealous and they all poke out and make a mess. 😄
It is! The shots are normally around 600 to 800 each, and you need 3, typically.
The clinic out there does a spring and fall event so new volunteers and anyone needing a booster can come all on the same days. One vial of vaccine holds enough to do 10 people, so instead of giving one shot and tossing the rest as would happen if we all got shots randomly, they schedule us to all come on the same days, and pass the savings on to us, as most of us aren't paid to do this work.
I tested positive for antibodies, but not high enough to safely work with rabies vector animals, so I'm due for a booster. I believe we need to get a titer every 2 years to show we still have proper antibody levels to keep working with them.
So it's a bit of a hassle, but we have so many cute critters that I can't work with without doing it!
Meatball the groundhog
A tiny baby fox they brought back to life after it passed. It's big now, and still just as adorable!
Well, it's bed time here, but in the morning I'm going on a road trip to get another preventative rabies shot. I didn't build up enough antibodies from the 3 shots last fall to work with raccoons and foxes and such, so I'm giving it another try.
It's a 5-6 hour round trip, but another wildlife center is running a discount program, so it saves me $500 or so, even with gas taken into account.
Do you understand if you’re nicer people will put more effort in and if not they’ll probably just not bother helping you understand something?
You’re acting like I need to argue with you about this, I don’t.
If you want to be wrong, I’m 100% ok just never trying to help you understand something
I had something much longer written after I saw this post, but I don't think that approach will work with you. I delete so many comments before posting because I see you in a thread and decide it isn't worth it. I agree with you on a ton of stuff, but you make me want to avoid so many interactions here. I must not understand what type of help you think you are giving people, but you are one of the few people I actively avoid because you come off so confrontational no matter what other people say. I don't block you because I don't think you are stupid or that your takes are necessarily bad, but hell, do you ever say them in the worst way possible so often.
This is solely meant to be constructive, I want so badly to like seeing your comments, but you make it such a challenge. After what feels like months of feeling this way, I just had to say it. If you approached your comments in a different way, you could be someone that I could really learn from due to the amount you share and the importance of a lot of it, but you make someone even as calm as I am just clench up and expect confrontation, so I go out of my way to avoid you. Take that how you will, but again, just an honest opinion and something intended to be helpful.
The toms get much bigger than owls. The young ones and small hens are sometimes doable for a Great Horn. The owl. Should weigh in around 3.5 pounds and small adult turkey hens are around 5 pounds. The owl will often just take the head.
I'm honestly not very familiar with Hexbear as it got defederated from here pretty early on in my time here I believe. I've browsed it once or twice to see what the fuss is about, but I can't even recall what was different about it. I'm a very low drama person, and am mainly here to teach people about owls.
I'm general, just trying to consider how your reply will be met by others before posting can go a long way or considering if you'd say what you're going to post to someone standing in front of you. I sometimes get a reply written for something, and even though I feel I may not be saying anything provoking, that it will just bring in other people that will want to make something confrontational out of it, and then I just scrap it. Not worth the annoyance.
