I have serious trouble believing stuff like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1tg74ix/a_photographer_captured_a_weasel_riding_on_the/

until I read that it first appeared online over 10 years ago. I still have doubts that I wouldn't have had then.

I'm with you on ticks. No mountain lions and about the only thing big enough here to really jack someone up is a deer and that's super rare. I played out in the woods a lot as a kid and remember getting many ticks removed. This makes me never go into the treeline without a hat and preferably long sleeves & pants.

The crazy part is he just needed to give 3k "buyout" to release. He bought the car and sold it back at lease end, 3k was the difference.

If you could bank on that...

I've thought about the major city thing a lot over the years. We're halfway between ATL and Charlotte so it'll be glow time here.

This is because the guy didn't sign up for an account. Reddit has trouble selling ads to display to random visitors.

The enshitification continues.

I can only eat a hotdog if I personally blacken it to death first. Corndog, just no.

The wellington looks good!

Combine this with the pentagon pizza tracker as a prelude and we might some real accuracy here.

Same here. It was probably lower at some point.

I don't think so unless they had an incredibly good year at some point. The colorado has been in major decline for some time. It was a big issue when I last visited. Nothing has changed, except it's a lot lower.

lol We have a super wordy guy on the team. I often interrupt him and ask him to rephrase his statement in 3 sentences or less.

Also, most site visitors will never read a block of text. A few bullet points though, always works great.

Went to vegas a couple weeks ago. Highlight of the trip was taking Amy on the front seat helicopter tour down into the grand canyon, over the hoover dam as well as lake mead.

It was pretty crazy what is now land that used to be underwater last time I was there 21 years ago.

I find #2, 3 and 6 rather alarming.

I posited yesterday that the AI revolution may be bigger and more transformative than the industrial revolution.
