Grackles being half the size is a bit of an understate, a common grackle tops out at about 5 oz & 13" with a wingspan up to 18". A raven’s common size, on the larger end, is 4½ lbs & 28" with a 60" wingspan.

They are also nifty if you have to RMA electronics. Except last time I had to do that, Asus were very explicit about they do not returned the repaired laptop in whatever you sent it in in. So I had to give up a cool box to have the perfect box to ship it in 🤷

It’s kinda itchy, but modern glass-wool might irritate your skin and lungs, but afaik there aren’t any know health risks in handling it.

2+ million shares of SPY were traded in 3-4 minutes an hour before it broke. Had been pretty much flat since opening for the day. It’s fucking blatant.

Perhaps there could be some a voting form of sorts, which gets mailed to e.g. new mothers. And they have something like a couple of weeks to fill out how they wish to vote, I suppose they could sign it too if need be, then return it in a security envelope of sorts to the voting place.
I know it may sound like madness, but this form of voting-by-letters-in-the-trusted-care-of-USPS may sound a bit futuristic; but I am confident society can pull it off.

after coming under fire for a gesture he made at a Trump inaugural event that was likened to a Nazi salute by foreign leaders and Democrats.

Oh get the fuck out of here forbes, you’re part of the fucking problem. That was a full on sieg heil, and the piece of shit did it twice. It was not a likeness to it, the oligarch fuckwit was unequivocally heiling.

Don’t do that, don’t give me hope. At best it will lead to temporary halt, while the shitheads cook up a slightly different way to do the same shit.

Maybe don’t bring your 3 year old, when you “go” to a protest. Guess the wanker wanted a human shield, in case the protesters hurt his big-boy-anti-woke feelings too much…

It was my rough estimate, from looking at both years ago. You do have a higher monthly payment, beyond shared expenses, but that varies greatly depending on things like how much debt the cooperative has.

Housing cooperatives (wiki) are quite great. Where I’m from they are rather common, but unfortunately the ‘buy in’ costs have increased a ton in the last couple decades. Even then, paying e.g. a third of what a comparable owner apartment costs, still makes it a lot more affordable for many people.

Yup, poorly paraphrasing a well know quote: When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Pink mist?

They are mostly tricksters. As long as you don’t piss them off, you have nothing to worry about.

Yes, there are lots of people who get caught in what could be mistaken for a heil in a single photo.
Show me a video of anyone heiling, full motion start to finish, who is not a nazi. Please do, heck, if you can find someone not a nazi doing a double sieg heil in a row, I will give you a genuine 18k gold medal!

Sitting here thinking I thought they had branded it some bullshit like ‘warrior training’ to make it sound good…

And job listings, I had a longshot hope of getting into product development/product design. But 99.8% of job listings using those terms are for code monkeys.

If you have ADHD, it’s not uncommon simulants have a somewhat calming effect. Just FYI.

Nah, that would be silly.

God is more like a platypus. No nipples or bellybutton (but could surely produce milk if they felt like it), venomous, and hatched from an egg.

If it’s some form of shared washer, run a cup of bleach through a cleaning cycle. If it doesn’t have one, any hot cycle will do, then an extra rinse.
If you somehow don’t have bleach, use a cup of that strong cleaning vinegar stuff, or a couple tablespoons of citric acid. But please do not even think about combining bleach and acids.

If you payed to use the washer, surely they must have some way for you to channel your best Karen and complain about it.
