I’d bet you could boil some marshmallow root in water, then strain and reduce before letting it cool a bit, adding it to the yogurt, and whipping it.

“Your honor, my client does not possess the funds to continue this trial, so we have crafted an offer to the plaintiffs: in lieu of compensating them for the hundreds of watches that have gone missing from their inventory, we admit no wrongdoing and they will be offered stock in his watch making company should he ever start one”

Maybe there’s a word we could apply to situations where a group of people make plans to carry out an activity that is not legal for personal gain

@rikudou@lemmings.world is the contact point for this bot - you could reach out if they don’t respond to being tagged

Oh sure. Not all of them, certainly, but a good number of friends and I will hug to say hello/goodbye. Some of those guys prefer the handshake-bro-hug variety, others go in for the full bear hug. A handful of them, my oldest friends, are comfortable with cuddling, snuggling, or other non-hug physical contact so that’ll happen on the occasions we get to see each other.

Again, but differently in this instance.

I’m going to simultaneously agree and disagree with you on this one - they do want to destroy the ability to plan and build walkable livable cities, and to prevent their constituents from building community ties with each other. The expectation they have, imo, is that this will be used to hamstring the efforts of people looking to make Arizona livable into the future.

But they absolutely don’t expect or want this bill to weaken their own grasp on legislative power in the state. Concerted grassroots efforts to use the (admittedly hamfisted) language in this bill to weaken conservative turnout, while absolutely not something I would normally advocate, seems like a way to involve the voting bloc they intended to protect from effects in realizing how truly stupid this bill is. I could readily see voting rights groups or other progressive orgs in the state finding opportunities to provide transportation to the polls and ways to include reasons to not reward the people who voted this into effect.

A. A PUBLIC ENTITY MAY NOT SPEND PUBLIC MONIES TO PROMOTE, ADVOCATE OR PLAN FOR, OR BECOME A MEMBER OF AN ASSOCIATION OR ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES, ADVOCATES OR PLANS FOR, ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

2. REDUCING OR REPLACING MOTOR VEHICLE TRAVEL WITH WALKING, BIKING, OR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

I encourage Arizonans to file suits to shut down the public transit systems in the reddest towns and cities ahead of November. They’ve given you the tools to eviscerate their hold on your state.

Even here in Maine there are some large subsidies for battery backup systems. The state is even running a program for people who have them, where they can get paid for selling their stored energy during peak usage times.

Forty years living in their range and having a name that sounds like their call, and they are still never my first assumption.

Why do I hear my name being called in the woods? Gray catbirds

Hah it was killer doing a first course of stone for a slope stabilization project but I’ll see what I can do

I wonder if the neighbors would let me borrow their horse…

Not just you, I thought it was engaging and interesting as well. The comment about artificial refuges really strikes a chord as well, and I would add man made brush piles to the list of reclamation structures for encouraging animal resurgence.

Also, I’m excited that I might be able to describe the various rock structures on our parcel with greater scientific rigor.

Nah you’re good, I just became a lot less fun when the Gell-Mann stopped <3

Inappropriate for a wire service/po•tah•to. Reuters has little value to me if non factual statements are not attributed as quotes.

The newly listed company warned in its initial public offering (IPO) paperwork that its unique approach to content moderation can sometimes subject it to disruptions like in 2023, when several moderators protested against its decision to charge third-party app developers

I seem to recall over 8000 subs going dark but sure, just a handful of people protested.

@scrubbles

Growing up had a lot of careful navigation between “what are you smiling about” and “I’ll give you something to cry about” and a ton of unhealthy emotional suppression to boot. It takes so much effort to escape those trajectories.

I’m proud of both of you and really hope you feel that way about yourselves.

If you’re in a situation where you need and have outdoor lights, placing them on a timer is an easy way to drastically reduce the negative impact to the surrounding wildlife. Choosing bulbs or using a film to produce yellow or amber light is another way to improve the effort, and can make it safer for people who have to move between the lit area and an unlit one since amber lights reduce effects of night blindness in people.

Meanwhile, toyota’s driver assist tech from 2023 models will actively jerk the wheel from you and try to steer itself into obstructions on the side of the road you’re trying to pass, if you have to move closer to the double yellow dividing lines to do it. Oh you live in a rural area and more than half the roads don’t even have markings? It will occasionally attempt to steer you into the middle of the two lane road, into oncoming traffic.

Sudo on windows…

I’ll figure out where to drop it off eventually, maybe
