Always tourniquet the neck, I say. Fastest way to stop the screaming. Bleeding stops pretty quick afterwards, but it’s a shoehorn for the screaming.

I was wondering what new one was out. The subtext of ‘little-noticed’ seems wildly misleading. Also, I wonder who is into rocketry these days? I haven’t seen them in my local hobby shop for at least several years.

This (forgetting the name) is legit the reason for neonicknames, like sport, junior, tiger, bud (man, I wish I could find the video with the several dozen nicknames K gave him in a montage), man, dude, you, girlfriend, bitch, etc.

I was told it was a quick weight-loss solution.

Heh, the amerikkkan answer is simple: don’t let them rent next to you. They’ve accomplished it by ridiculous rent prices, charging inmates to be in jail (so they come out with debt), and shackling them to low paying jobs.

It’s already possible to see if you really want to look. Friendica is just another way.

Stockings? Or maybe just get some leggings for average folks and make garter belt hooks of them.

the real problem for me with the 5/5 wasn’t that I couldn’t handle the spice. The spice was amazing, and actually added to the flavor, unlike many. What was the issue was how long it took to eat it because you have to manage how much you have in your mouth so it doesn’t overwhelm you. Luckily my buddy wasn’t closely watched for his ‘hour long’ lunch break.

There is more going on in the background with cat coat colors, genetically, than dog coat colors, genetically. While the variations are huge in dogs (here’s just one breed’s possibilities), it’s quite possible to know the chances of the offspring from what the current generation are and what their parents were. Here’s another look at that. Horses are another one where there’s enough going on that you can’t always tell what they’ll throw.

because if we’re going to do anything good as a species, it will be making sure our dogs outlive us

So, funny thing about this, is it’s not at all true. I have a friend who is a vet, and he quite succinctly clarified with some good journal articles that the real issue with dogs’ short lives is we just don’t care. If we had been breeding for longer lives at any point, they would have no issue with living for decades longer than their current spans. It’s never been a priority (and might even be a poor business decision) for breeders to focus on longevity. Even health is only a passing concern for their ‘working’ period.

Maybe humanity will become better. Someday.

I got 15 pairs of socks this morning. It was a pretty good haul!
