What would actually happen if you did that? Im sure people have…

I have a similar relationship with my neurologist. I’ve been seeing him for over 15 years for stabby appointments. That is to say I get something like 60-80 injections every time I see him. He isn’t in a position to give me tests, but he does use the things I say to help his other patients.

Its botox injections for migraine, and he’s one of the first people to pick up doing it, so he’s seen some shit. Nothing I say surprises him at all, unless its FUN. So early on when my skin was still reacting to it big time, i told him i sort of liked that I looked like a klingon after my appointments, and thats what I always told people because I needed to go to a brewery after to make the pain suck less.

Im also almost always on board to be a training pin cushion for residents. So much that if the resident doesn’t understand what I’m offering them (a willing participant to their education; a unicorn), he just says “if you are ready to practice injections, she’s offering, and she doesn’t flinch”.

Because I’m used to it. I try not to flinch because that’s worse. I’m pretty upbeat about the whole thing. And I recently found out he has patients who scream about it every single spot. Holy fuck. I can’t imagine being that sensitive. So now i understand why he admitted to his existential crisis to me. (“I feel like I’m going to hell for causing people such pain as part of my job” he’s retirement age or older, so understandable thought)

I’m a quite short woman (two standard deviations from average!💪🏻) and met this guy who was like considerably shorter than I am, had to have qualified as a little person, since I’m only a couple inches too tall to qualify myself, and he was quite attractive. I don’t generally find men aesthetically pleasing.

You mean to tell me it’s just because I finally got a good angle???

(Jk, he was an objectively attractive tiny king, with a personality to match)

I’d heard of that one and somehow ended up with whiskerwood instead, which is mice ruled by cats. Its still pretty early early access, but very cute :)

Thanks for the reminder!

What you need is a whole bramble! Ive never seen a blackberry bush as such, but an entire wall of plants? Yes. They’ll continue to produce steadily for weeks/months.

They sort of already do that with the rail crossing dingy bells and lights, but both usually happen if the crossing apparatus is present. I think its required here?

On a side note, I had to take a weird back way home the other day, due to highway closure, and found a house that has its own small scale private rail crossing with the drop bars and dingy bells and lights and everything, due to the rail hugging the road on the wrong side for them. It was very cute.

I live a couple blocks from train tracks that are used for freight, they pass every 2 hours most of the time, and run 24/7. They shake my building when they pass, and I can hear them blast their horn for road crossings with the windows closed. All this to say trains themselves are nothing special to me as a thing that exists.

I got to ride a subway (in Boston) for the first time back on like 2018-2019 or so, as a very much mid 30s woman, and even I got super excited for it. Like visibly, kid-seeing-train-for-first-time excited. My partner took a pic and titled it excitement. Dick.

Then last year I took a train to Chicago and wouldn’t you know, exactly as excited the entire time. Only half of that was because I didn’t have to drive in a big city.

I want trains!!! I want them to be fast and plentiful. I want to see trains all over the place, stopping in every single town. And I want them to do more than freight! Freight is good, don’t get me wrong, but we could do so much more, we used to do so much more!! The freight lines still have all the old passenger stops along them, most of them are still in decent shape but have been converted to storage or businesses, but that could be fixed pretty damn easily.

I’m sad that we used to have trains but now I have to drive everywhere because rich people fucking suck.

Usually both, at least in my region.

Super fair and was mostly and idk situation o just know what we see as motion they typically don’t and so was a bit confused.

All good think we are on the same page :)

Ima have to try and see how they react.

But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don’t think that’d do the job to show them motion. (Which makes sense, they fly and have to dodge stuff in flight at high speeds)

I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to…? Not sure. Don’t… think so…? I know its refresh rate, i just don’t know how thats different.

Also fwiw some movies seem jittery to me… so maybe we need more than 24 as a normal allotment. :)

Hmm… my chickens are very spoiled but they aren’t “have their own tv” spoiled… yet…

Im not sure how much good a tv does with birds though, they see at over 120hz, to our 60hz so most of what we see as motion on tv they see as a series of still images

I had woodpeckers bang on my siding next to the window to let me know the suet was bad for about 10 years.

It was steel siding at the time, and they left several nice dents.

As much as I’d love to keep feeding them, I had my siding replaced by insurance with vinyl (unrelated issue) and don’t really want holes all up it… so i weaned before it was replaced. Just attending their demands less frequently.

Hasn’t been an issue in the last year.

I just got a used ev. I needed something else because my car was having issues that would be expensive to fix, and wanted an ev anyway, so the decision wasn’t at all motivated by gas prices, even though the timing was. I didn’t want to wait and have used car prices skyrocket to the point i couldn’t afford one.

I feel that strongly about native bees and honey bees cause problems for them so… yeah. I’m big on native wildlife. Fuck invasive species.

Honeybees are not native where I am, and somehow we have so many crops that supposedly rely on them or they would fail entirely, how is that not invasive agriculture? People truck bees across the country to support these crops.

I’m not saying they can’t produce honey from native flowers, they can but that’s entirely beside the point, and that’s also competing with native bees, of which there are hundreds of species.

I don’t like honey so the things I do will be 100% to support non-honey bees because they are far far far more valuable than invasive honey bees ever could be…e.

I love my native bees. Especially mason bees. I love that they can’t be commercialized. I hate that people don’t care about them because they can’t be commercialized and that’s the whole reason my yard is mostly wild.

Fuuuuuuuck honey and the damage it causes the natural ecosystem. Fuck importing plants and making them work through invasive agriculture. If something can’t grow because we can’t keep the bees here because they aren’t native here…. TOO FUCKING BAD! Import it, don’t ruin the ecosystem trying to make it work.

I don’t like them, they are kinda peppery and don’t go well with the tangy juice imo, but to each their own.

I eat pomegranate like popcorn while watching movies, except spit the seeds. You can eat them but I don’t care for them, personally.

So split the thing open, sometimes I’ll pull the jewels out into a bowl, but usually I’ll just pluck one or two, suck out the juice, and spit the seed.

It’s a very good mindless snack for boredom eating.

Check thrift shops. I’ve picked up a couple of them that way for $10-15 USD. People don’t really want them anymore so they end up donated when found in a closet.

First you have Waffle House, then you stay up until the donut shops open at 4 cuz let’s be serious that’s only another half hour at this point. You get too many donuts, because who doesn’t want copious amounts of sugar and fat on a stomach full of alcohol? Also because you are drunk and they all look good. Then you crash, maybe with a half-eaten donut in your hand.

As a bonus, you wake up to something some people consider a breakfast food.

So… there have been some bouys like this and underneath they put nets and lined the shore with razor wire. Some of them have circular saw blades on them. I’m sure there’s other horrible things I could dredge up but you get the idea.

They know about the swimming and have accounted for it in the most horrific way possible.
