“...historically, attacks are very rare—occurring if you’ve encroached on their territory, are being an idiot, or if their food supply has been overwhelmingly poached by hunters.”

You just need to go into the settings and turn off "Abrams Mode".

My dad owns a dealership.

For those who suffer from white privilege, you only need a sip of your own musk to go off the bend.

My old university found out the hard way* that pumpkin seeds don’t compost very quickly.

Oh wow! That’s gorgeous! Totally looks like California. I’ve been fascinated with that type of landscape since I was a kid. Snow?? That’s crazy! I’m just a couple hours from Quebec... really trying to get away from snow and cold.

Not just Mexican Coke (though it’s the most common one up here in the north), but even the cans of Coke in Chile use cane sugar instead of HFCS. But to be honest, I’ve noticed that the biggest difference isn’t the sweetener, it’s the container. Everything tastes better out of a glass bottle Especially a very cold…

For you and anyone else out there who might not know:

Hahahahaha... omg I’m so embarrassed! I totally was thinking St. Bart’s for some reason (in my defense I was not quite sober). Probably much of the same crowd though!

How is it living in the Caribbean? I’ve lived in a few seasonal/touristy areas, and it’s always kind of weird being the “locals”. I lived in a ski town for a few years that was nothing but service jobs done by working class people and then the rich people that owned the actual properties. The no winter thing of the…

I didn’t start running until I was 51. I could barely run for 15 minutes when I started. Seven years later, I’m doing 23-25 miles a week spread over four runs. (If I run more than four times a week, my knees bother me. So I do other stuff on the non-running days.)

i live 15 minutes from st tropez. (ok, 15 minutes in winter time, 60+ minutes tourist season) i would not go down there unless i absolutely had to, it sucks. it’s a nice village and all, but it is mostly to see and be seen. to see the rich and famous or to be looked down up upon by them. the things people will do and…

meanwhile back here in Boring Reality, my kid was just told she has to start wearing a mask again for school in the fall because this place is full of fucking idiots who refuse to wear masks or get the jab because “you’re not the boss of them.” wake me up when their yachts collide with each other and burst into flames…

And here I was expecting the culprit to be something a little smaller.

Carrots have done as much as they’re going to, it’s time for some sticks.

Those are the folks who have been on the front line saving lives. It would be hard to call them selfish for the risks taken and sacrifices they have made.

That is gaining a little steam here in the US. Some large Chicago healthcare systems are requiring vaccination for employment or contract work. But the system is so patchwork, that will take a while. Also, you have Ron deCOVID telling Florida businesses that they can’t, although I think he carved healthcare out of…

I dunno man, people seem to be getting more and more angry with the lock downs and protests. The confusion and the measures seem to be strengthening their resolve. I’m guessing more people would be convinced to take the needle if they could hold someone accountable if shit hits the fan for them.

as i wrote on the article from last week france was at about #27 in the rankings. that has jumped and now france has surpassed the US.

I feel like this is worth reiterating:
