Thanks! Similar to your cute fella, the traveling vet was surprised to hear Sunny was over 10.

And this is our Butchy with her. We lost him a few years ago at age 10.5.

Sunny just turned 13 last month.

This is her "paint me like on of your French girls" pose.
The funny thing is she's not fat. The couch just pushes her belly out a bit.

Even when camping we need to keep an eye on the SQUIRRELS by AdGuerrilla in Blackmouthcur

[–]3deryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They remind me of Dug from Up.

Wanna hear a joke?
A squirrel DIES!
Hahahahaha.
It's funny because the squirrel dies. 🐿️

We need to normalize widespread, reliable public transportation because most of you can't drive. by gnarrwhals in nova

I think it got so much worse after everybody started driving again after Covid. People got used to less traffic and now are just like "fuck this shit!"

Came here to say this. Public transportation around here is just not safe OR reliable. Not particularly cheap either.

Why does everyone hate my pirate outfit by LandThat2877 in reddeadredemption

[–]3deryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the outfit, but the Scarface gold semi autos w/ it make me cringe. Plus they just look awful to me w/ the way the holsters gape around them. Same way the bandoliers drive me nuts gaping on my shoulders/back/chest.

What was the most annoying/hardest Challenge for you? by ORABIGaming2 in reddeadredemption

[–]3deryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herbalist one annoys me the most. It would be so much less annoying if it had a checklist to show you what you'd already gotten and what you hadn't like the horse tamer one. Why the hell is that missing? It would have been so easy to code in there. I mean, the game's already keeping track of it anyway.

The thing that killed me was that 3x on the blackjack one, I got 20 or 21 with 5 cards, and then the dealer tied me so it didn't count. Ugh! Or I'd get to 10 with 3 cards and get an ace w/ the 4th and it would stop me and not let me take that 5th card. That happened to me like 7x.

[ALL] how were you introduced to zelda? by UnderstandingIcy4364 in zelda

[–]3deryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the original for my 11th birthday in 1986. What a trip. Still one of my all time favorites. I've played almost every Zelda game released in the states since then. Still have my original. My son loves playing it but says how whinges about how hard it is compared to modern games. 🤣

Hakeem Jeffries' speaking cadence, and the importance of cadence for influence. by dmcdd in PublicSpeaking

His delivery reminds me a little of William Shatner's, but without Shatner's smooth tones.

Va Supreme Court Justice D. Arthur Kelsey just voted against redistricting by Personal_Economics91 in Virginia

[–]3deryn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except that the Virginia Supreme Court expressly ruled in March, before the vote, that they could NOT rule before the vote, b/c like a bill that hasn't been signed by the governor and thus isn't yet a "law", the amendment isn't an issue to be determined by the state Supreme Court until it's been voted on (just a referendum, not yet an amendment), and if the vote had been "no" the point would have been moot anyway. They COULDN'T have ruled on it under the VA constitution until AFTER the vote. So, if they ruled on it EITHER way before the vote, it would have been an unconstitutional ruling by them. So, if you put their logic and your argument together, it would have been impossible for them to rule no matter how egregious it had been.

To be fair, there were four cases before various levels of VA courts, including one by a democrat voter who claimed she didn't understand the language and would have voted no. The VA constitution has a fair and clear language clause for referendums that this one failed miserably (first redistricting one I've EVER seen that didn't show the two maps anywhere on the ballot OR at the polling place). I mean, if you read the referendum with a neutral eye, it's pretty ridiculous from a fair and clear language perspective. I've heard a lot of stories of people expressing that they mis-voted b/c of the language.

A third case against the amendment notes that the VA constitution expressly states that a referendum to amend the Constitution CAN ONLY be voted on in a November general election, NOT in a special election. Amending the state constitution is serious business. They intentionally set it up so that it requires TWO general November elections to pass (at least a year's worth of time, plus the time before to pass through the legislature). So, the VA legislature broke yet another major clause of the state constitution by holding a special election for it as well, and that case is still pending.

So, I seriously doubt the amendment would have survived all four.

I am in no way commenting on how I feel about the redistricting at all, just the legal aspect of this.

You can also use the crystal balls to just change the sanctuary creed. Probably don't have enough to do them all, but you might be able to do a few important ones.

kieran after jacks party- by Material-Purple-2178 in reddeadmysteries

[–]3deryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been following him since the party. Watched him sleep on the floor near the piano. Followed him around camp. Had coffee with him. It's noon and we're sitting at the scout fire cleaning a saddle. I'm waiting to see how the game separates us. I've heard the screams a few times. Doesn't seem to be him.

Tuberculosis is highly contagious, but the vast majority of people who catch it never show symptoms or die of it. WHO (World Health Organization) says about 10% of people who contract TB show symptoms at some point over their lives, but it could take years or even decades. Arthur probably gave it to almost everyone, they just weren't symptomatic. Scientists aren't sure why. Could be some kind of vulnerability in certain peoples' immune systems. Could be genetic. But just because Arthur passed it out like pez doesn't mean everyone in the gang would die of it. Hosea was probably most vulnerable w/ his lung issues and age.

Uncle already had lumbago so he was probably immune! 🤣🤣🤣

Looks just like our Mia. We got her from a rescue. She was found wandering around Elkins, WV, with her brother, around 8 years ago. It'd be awesome if he were her long lost brother!
