I grew up on WIC and now my mom is conservative and against all safety nets and I'm like, bitch please I remember damn well picking out things that were on that WIC list every week at the store, don't act like we got by OK on our own. Not to mention her not working and on disability for the past couple decades... so independent we are.

They're best at doing it when there's nothing at stake.

Huh I came twice before realizing that IS a bear, well now I feel foolish and sleepy.

Sip and puff is old terminology, I haven't heard it much in the last 10-20 years but before that people were in the news for using them successfully so people were a lot more likely to know the term back then.

The 49 victims were buried in mass graves.

On the way back, the delegation came across another vehicle that had been stranded for three days. The 60 passengers were rescued.

And just like that I'm never going to Niger.

If that's the case why did they create it as a government service? Why didn't Benjamin Franklin just start a nice private corporation to do it? He could have made some money along the way being a shareholder.

Probably a lot of fear the next government will just revoke the leases, didn't Biden do this after Trump's first term?

Also it's super illegal to be naked in a lot of instances which doesn't make sense for the "Natural" state

Also people here absolutely trash nature, like it personally offended them

ADA prefers them to doorknobs. Back in the day when hardware conventions started, it was to show that a place was free to walk into without a barrier, i.e. open to the public. Think about saloon doors, kind of a modernization of that. Not to mention you can open it with your back and they're cheaper to produce/buy than knobs and handles.

I thought dogs, like most land predators, evolved green receptors first to detect movement in foliage, so shouldn't they see green better than this?

Trump chose "battleship" because he thinks it sounds impressive to the average midwesterner (he's usually right about these things), there's no chance they'll ever be built, and they know that. But now they get to complain that the Dems are stopping his big strong battleships which isn't the image they need to be cultivating right now... unless it's tied to the economy which is the only message.

I've heard ducks can't count (a lot of birds can) so they're often losing and gaining ducklings just accidentally, which makes me feel like it's got to be scary to be a duckling. But then ducks have other problems too. Weird species.
