Some traffic authorities have made zipper merge the law but it hardly applies everywhere. In my state the person in the persistent lane has no responsibility to yield right-of-way to an incoming vehicle.   They act like it too, so attempting a zipper merge will leave you sitting at the end of your lane praying for…

This is all fine theoretically but cars in both lanes are usually much closer than that and many will not let you in especially at the merge point. Call me an asshole all you want but if I see a wide enough opening in traffic anywhere before the merge point, I’m going for it. I’m not going to rush in like a maniac.…

The actually dog food they make isn’t healthy for them either. I think a little bit of the family bbq now, and then would be fine.

My dog once ate an entire ring of kielbasa on Christmas Eve and he was no worse for the wear. Probably had the best Christmas ever.

I did once see a German Shephard puppy throw up after he ate a whole pack of hotdogs around a bonfire, but I’d imagine that might happen to any person or animal who isn’t Joey Chestnut. 

Depending on where you live, there are almost certainly hummingbirds near your house in summer. You just don’t see them because they’re so fast and fleeting. I had no idea how many there were around me until I started putting out a feeder; there are clearly a lot of them. I’ve seen up to five at once, though they…

I’ve done both, the straps definitely helped more but they’re a hassle. I’ve occasionally have some knee pain when squatting and the sleeves seemed to help with that, but didn’t do much else. The biggest problem I’ve found with the sleeves is that they smell horrible, that material just holds on to smells.
I don’t…

I’m hoping for one.

Doubtful there will be anything needed as soon as the fall...maybe next summer though...

You like to paint with a very broad brush. Good for you.

See 5/2/21 article by Nicholas Wade (former NYT, Nature science writer) entitled “Origin of Covid - Following the Clues”, on the site medium dot com. That article gives a detailed analysis, looking at available evidence and facts from a scientific point of view.

My Italian mother always made up a fresh weekly jar of minced garlic and parsley in the fridge for her various concoctions, such as Italian Potato Salad.

My employment at the last place that tried to pull that “we’re a family” bullshit on me ended like this:

I used to buy jars of minced garlic at the dollar store. They quit carrying it. Now I'm sad. 

You can include an ad between every description but not a single photo?

I feel you. I bought a bike last year when the pandemic hit so I could go on some rides with my son. I’d forgotten how freeing it feels to ride one. Definitely going to hit up some parks this summer.

They’re the same people who get rabbits or chicks at Easter and then don’t want them anymore a few weeks later. Or, another 101 Dalmations (or some other dog movie) comes out and they’re all about getting puppies but then give them to a shelter.

Serious question. How does all this work? I’ve been using this site for ages and I’m in the grays some places and not in others.

This makes me very angry.
