I went back to Ohio

But my kitty was gone

Ay, oh, where'd it go Ohio?

Is that really, really where he's going to?

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Yes. You could also just add ground flax to foods when preparing.

What's JD Vance up to? What did the Cat Man Do?

Favorite, two eggs over easy, hash browns, hunk of blueberry coffee cake and black coffee. (AKA, BDBIT at Hobee's) Second favorite, one plate sized buttermilk pancake with three eggs over easy placed on top of the pancake, no syrup, just egg yolk, black coffee. (Squeeze In, Truckee, CA)

I lived in the Silicon Valley in the 1990's. Prior to being developed, Sunnyvale was dominated by fruit orchards. In the late 1880's, a scandanavian farmhand named John was in love with the farmers daughter but the love was not reciprocated. Farmhand found dead in the orchard, bled to death from an axe wound. Some say accident, others said suicide or murder.

Toys r' Us was built in the old orchard. Unexplained events told to me included books falling from shelves, stuffed animals stacked in aisles, baby swings suddenly start swinging on their own, smell of blossoms in the playdo aisle, sound of running horses by the Breyer horses. No apparition but when alone employees sometimes heard a voice with a scandanavian accent in the stock room. Random breezes and cold spots in store. Benign poltergeist stuff like ripples on still water when no pebble tossed.

I shopped at that Toys r' Us and never experienced any paranormal activity. But... In the late 90's I was shopping for Breyer horses for my daughter, mixed in with the horses were a couple Starting Lineup sports figures. The player was MLB pitcher Donnie Moore. The figurine was released in 1988. In the 1988 playoffs the California Angels were one pitch away from the World Series when Donnie Moore gave up a home run and the Angels ended up being eliminated from the playoffs. In 1989 Donnie Moore murdered his wife and then committed suicide. I thought it odd that they had ten year old stock. The coincidence of 1880's/1980's, death by misadventure and strangeness of misplaced inventory was too good to be true so of course I bought the figures, still have in a box in the attic. No paranormal activity to report in my attic.

Edit: in, for clarity

Although this came to light in the past, it was again reveled during Trump's election interference trial. In a quid pro quo arrangement, Arnold agreed to remain editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines, if the National Enquirer would kill stories that could damage Arnold's carefully crafted image.

Flowers are “giving up on” pollinators and evolving to be less attractive to them as insect numbers decline, researchers have said.

A study has found the flowers of field pansies growing near Paris are 10% smaller and produce 20% less nectar than flowers growing in the same fields 20 to 30 years ago. They are also less frequently visited by insects.

“Our study shows that pansies are evolving to give up on their pollinators,” said Pierre-Olivier Cheptou, one of the study’s authors and a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. “They are evolving towards self-pollination, where each plant reproduces with itself, which works in the short term but may well limit their capacity to adapt to future environmental changes.”

Plants produce nectar for insects, and in return insects transport pollen between plants. This mutually beneficial relationship has formed over millions of years of coevolution. But pansies and pollinators may now be stuck in a vicious cycle: plants are producing less nectar and this means there will be less food available to insects, which will in turn accelerate declines.
