I accidentally turned mine into a sub:

It just depends. When it was 100°+ for sure. But I also have a second story that's contained from the rest of the barn, so I don't have to worry about bugs or rodents TOO much. If I didn't have that separate space, I'd probably invest in an AC. The lower floor is also a cement tablet that chills overnight. Sometimes, I'll keep the doors closed until the slab warms up. It all just depends. At night, even if it's hot, I lock up. We leave the windows open on the second story with fans at that point.

I do have to admit, I'm prepared for fires and earthquakes. Doomsday seems crazy, though. I have a bug out bag, etc... I'm not going to live under the preconceived notion that I'm going to survive a nuclear attack or race war that'll never happen. Pepper's get fucking insane. The number of people who start digging down without any understanding of structural integrity is insane aswell. Especially in places near fault lines. Building firebreaks, storing food and water, forming a microgrid if you live in an area where they might turn off the electricity, etc... those are all realistic and important. Also, fuck anti-maskers.

That's a good one!

Fair. But I'd argue they got rich by being cheap, somewhat . They'll come from privilege, but get cheap. I'm a little biased because I live in socal, but rich people like brag to poor people about how they went to a foreign country to get work done. It's supposed to encourage the "grind set." They could've gone here, but mexico or turkey is cheaper, regardless of personal safety or health standards. It's their version of "diversity," but they're just saving money at their own risk. If you NEED work done, go for it. But nah, there's a whole thing here going in socal. I'm not trying to talk about where I live too much, I just think socal is one of the most influential cultural epicenter of the world. Californication.

That shit was harrowing at the retirement home I worked at. I only worked during the day, so the worst thing I saw was falls. My fiancé's brother worked at night, though. The residents would get stir crazy at night. They'd try to "escape," and they'd be found laying in the nearby hospital's flower bead. This was in NON-assisted living. Trump definitely reminds me of those residents. They'd end up walking to the hospital because it was the only place they knew how to get to, but they didn't know why they were walking there. They just wanted to escape. A lot of them expected their old house/ kid's house.

It's what turned Joe Rogan and Elon Musk into potatoes.

It's common for rich men to take that or testosterone to recapture their youth. There's also a good chance they'll travel to turkey and get hair implants.

I've had a giant spider in my bathroom for months. Eventually, her little boyfriend moved in. They caught so many flies (I live in a barn). Sometimes, I'd walk in, and she'd have one in her mouth like a dog. I accidentally killed them diatomaceous earth recently because I was getting rid of ants. 🥲

No one will be fat in 2050 unless they're not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that's my prediction for Socal.

I was so disappointed in that movie. It was a boring, erotic fan-fic of Dr. Abe Sapien from Hellboy. Toro worked on Hellboy in 2006, and held on to that erotic interest in a Fishman FOR OVER 10 YEARS. Cool creature design, though.

Sorry for using YT shorts. That was just the original source.

I've never seen a situation like this before. The UAV looks like an RQ-21, but why is it blowing up over a lake in the US? The poster has shared no editional information but seems legit based on their posting history. Does anyone have any explanations?

Not literally pig butchering. Pay pigs. People who pay a lot of money.

A little context from Emily Dickinson's point of view (not Sappho and friend/ s).

I took her to the vet and found the owner. I also yelled at them for letting their old dog roam. She's a sweet old gal, and she shouldn't be out there. I'll be checking up on her. Thankfully, they're going to still let me see her, even though I chewed them out.

Edit: I forgot to mention, she had a pampering while she was here!

I'm losing my vision due to uveitis. That's why I wear sunglasses. It's very slow though, and I use it as inspiration for my art.
