You are writing fanfiction. First you made up that these home owners live rurally, then you made up that Charlottesville is somehow expanding beyond the borders of the town?? Being able to read doesn’t help you if you have no reading comprehension.
Why would rural homeowners be filing a suit about a 10 square mile town they don’t live in?
The population density for Charlottesville is over 4500/sq mile. Nobody there is living rurally.
On Cosmos (the original), Carl Sagan goes through a lot of the names for the part of the galactic spiral that we see at night in places without light pollution. A lot of them revolved around milk, but one that really stuck in my mind was ‘the backbone of the night.’ I think it might have been from an Aboriginal Australian culture, but it’s been so long I couldn’t say for sure.
It’s still around and it’s so much worse now. Just NIMBY central. I peek in from time to time to try to scope out estate sales, but I always have to leave pretty soon because the shit people say there is wild.
Same. The 90s tried to kill me, the more time put between me and it the better.
If you hate the feel of sunscreen like I do, check out UPF clothing 👍
Oh man, that’s awful, where is it? So I can avoid it 👀
Moggy can be used for cats the way mutt is for dogs, but I think it might be more common in the UK? I don’t really hear it in the US, maybe cat breeders use it.
But yeah, for vets and rescues it’s just domestic short hair/long hair (sometimes medium hair).
A manga with 18 naked cowboys? You’ve got my attention, go on
That’s what I’ve got in my cooking notes dump for the internal ‘cooked’ temperature for cookies, but that might be a texture rather than a safety thing.
In that case I think the real issue would be how long it’s safe to store at room temperature, since edible cookie doughs do still require refrigeration as far as I know. If you popped an edible cookie dough in for 30 minutes you’d probably be fine, the more hours you tack on the sketchier it gets.
Reminder that cookie dough kept above 40 F/4.4 C but below 190 F/88 C is in the bacterial danger zone that allows bad bacteria to multiply and give you food poisoning.
There’s also some amount of risk from raw dough, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t ignore that when it comes to cookie dough.
The white area at the very bottom of the photo is the windowsill I think, it’s taken from inside looking out at the bird strike.
Jesus, it must have been a severe hit if the bird shit itself. This being on the side of a building and not a window is really curious, though! Usually you only see this on reflective surfaces that the bird thinks is open sky. I wonder if a predator was chasing it, for it to collide so strongly with the wall.
Edit: fuck, I’m dumb, there is a window there, it’s just facing a wall. Reminder that bird window stickers exist!
The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.
Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️
Oh, yeah, I was agreeing and expanding on what you were saying 👍
Cotton can continue to burn, but wool is generally self extinguishing, too. It’s one of the ways you can identify the fiber composition of unknown cloth (burn test).
Hearing something mildly displeasing, dramatically sitting down and flipping open my skull ring, and tipping the skittle into my mouth like a shot of liquor.
Somewhat concerned the wingspan of my balls is insufficient now…
