When a daddy pencil and a mommy cassette love each other very much…

Used to belong to a Homebrewing forum (beer, not computer servers), and they had monthly post about someone wanting to infuse their beer with tobacco. Which is where I learned that it will kill ya dead. Tobacco can be used externally to reduce swelling, chew on a wasp sting will prevent a lot of it. Or if you’re looking for trouble late in life I guess you could smoke it also, though that one seems a great deal less compelling to me.

Re-iterate - Don’t eat any food made with tobacco, it will harm you at the very least.

Furthermore, in the negotiations, they have allowed a lot of infrastructure projects to be counted towards this percentage calculations. So, there may not be much in the way of new actual military spending, just improving the roads/rails of the agreeing countries. That seems a lot easier to sell to the folks that are further from Russia.

I’m guessing that was the Soviet bloc population. What he should have said is that everyone in the world would be dead. There’s no way there isn’t retaliation from any of the nuclear armed opponents. He’ll, id consider it if I were in charge of UK/France and the US did that. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like that level of radiation in the atmosphere would destroy human life anyway.

That might be one of the most adorable cats I’ve ever seen, and I like cats.

In LA even. Don’t remember where I read it, but did read an article that there are tones of oil dereks in LA, but they all have a facade on the outside to make it look like a normal building.

The La Brea tar pits are a type of hydrocarbon after all.

Don’t they know the females are the ones raised for meat?

Samsung used to have their WiFi sharing under the Hotspot setting. Then they changed the layout, and now WiFi sharing is buried deep in menus to make sure (for some terrible reason, I’m sure) it’s not found without a web search. They change the exact location of it with every OneUI update also, to further piss me off. They are surely the company that is actively trying hardest to lose customers.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4JE3SA Got that for my daughter. Can be put in the microwave for a warm experience, and I seem to remember it smelling of lavender when heated.

I have a family set up with my brother, two childhood friends, and one of the friends wife. They don’t check anything, just have to be invited to join.

And atm, ive been playing Oblivion at the same time as my friend, just have to go offline before starting the game.

This is very similar to what I was thinking.

Tariffs reduce some trade. They do not turn all trade down to 0, and turning a reduction in trade into a war actually would make the number go negative, as now you’re spending money (and blood) on the other country, instead of getting money from them. Has to be an extreme situation to turn a (legal) business deal into a shootout.

Who is your “they” in this scenario? Because R’s sure don’t fit into that “they”.

Where do you live? Can’t imagine all the effort it would take to catch all the brown anoles in Orlando.

Was this in St. Augustine? That coquina stone is everywhere there.

And it’s so rare to see a green anole anymore, I see maybe 1/10,000 living here. Last I knew, Hawaii still has the green ones though.

Maybe, but third party presidential, when there is no legislators is never going to happen, never going to be elected, and never get any bills passed. Aiming for the white house as the first stop is just silly.

Well the reason is that there are state laws against outside observers, and no treaty giving any foreign government the ability to monitor. So they’re just enforcing the laws, as they’re supposed to.

Mind you I’m not saying the UN or any other nation is going to interfere, but seems really important to follow laws around voting to make sure the attitude of enforcement isn’t lax.

Early on Russia said it would treat any foreigner fighting for Ukraine as a mercenary, and criminally punish them. Doesn’t matter that they sign with the Ukrainian government to fully be in the Ukrainian military. Just more rank hypocrisy, as they pull soldiers from all over Africa, India and China. Along with Americans caught in statutory rape charges that happened to flee before trial.

It’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

Sure wish they were quiet enough to sleep through.

It certainly can be, but it’s such a high bar to get over that these days I’m not sure there will be another amendment.
