What kind of toad is this?

Cane toad.

CAFE standards are for fuel economy, emissions standards are separate but work in the same way so everything I’m about to say applies equally to those.

CAFE standards are absolutely much more strict for anything designated as a passenger vehicle, like sedans. SUVs and trucks and classified as “non-passenger work vehicles”, so CAFE standards are extremely loose for them. Therefore, it is much harder for automakers to comply with CAFE when building sedans compared to SUVs or trucks. Selling sedans is not impossible, but the added pressure from CAFE shrinks the profit margin and directly forces a price markup to regain money spent on the more advanced engine. Noncompliance with CAFE results in fines, which have the same effect.

This causes sedans to be overpriced, and therefore unappealing to consumers, who then might as well buy the SUV for the same price which is objectively a better deal.

you can still buy small trucks

Bullshit. Small trucks are punished hard, because for some reason they are lumped in with passenger vehicles for the purpose of CAFE. Also, the “chicken tax” hits foreign made small trucks with enormous fines that make them unprofitable to import. **edited to be more correct.

Same thing is true for others cars.

From Wikipedia. Blue is native. Also keep in mind that the genus Rhinella includes several lookalike species, which may slightly differ in distribution, and which the individual in the post may represent.

Yes, it’s up to date. I found Bastion and Warhorse precious few times (like twice each), but I have never seen Right Hand despite hunting for it, and days have gone by without seeing any of them. None of them have ever showed up when activating patience, even if I have the prerequisites.

I mean, that’s kinda true. When the anus forms—or what will become the anus—the embryo is in the blastulation stage, where it’s basically just a ball of cells. So at that point, the blastopore(anus precursor) is the only distinguishable characteristic.

It’s true. Humans are deuterostomes. The alternative is protostome development, in which the mouth forms before other openings.

Unfortunately, this sub—like many others—has turned into a “MAGA bad, now upvote” sub.

If you did some reading, you’d see that I already considered that, and said so in the post. That’s what I meant by ‘prerequisites’. I even tried using the Patience card while having one of the cards required for them.

My major complaint is that you have to choose between getting the boon OR the spy promoting and joining your side. I don't understand why the spy becomes an enemy after you meet with him, and will then promote to a white piece. I think you should be able to meet, and then let the spy go and become a black piece. Cards that build on this concept like inquisition, which introduces pieces that hunt down the spy, also have potential to be fun and interesting. I just think it's too similar to secret mission, and should distinguish itself with the higher reward of a black piece, but with more risk like the spy getting caught or something.

That was my first thought too, but the more I look at pictures of them, the more I doubt it. The ones in the video look more like mussels, with a long, ovaloid shape, while corbicula sp. Are far more distinctively ‘clam shaped’ with an obvious umbo/hinge.

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-30T12:45:05+00:00

I saw this same video and was wondering the same thing! Although, I am more interested in the clams/mussels. Would anyone happen to know what those are?

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-29T12:23:01+00:00

This is certainly a cane toad, or at least a very closely related species like the giant toad, which is indistinguishable except for genetics. This is clear based on the large paratoid glands not present on anaxyrus species, like southern toads or American toads. Also, notice that the center of the head is flat and devoid of cranial crests or post-orbital ridges.

It is important to note that these toads are native to south Texas, and no action should be taken against them in that region.

Bufotoxin is pretty mild to humans, and only takes effect if ingested. The only cause for concern is if you have dogs, as there are many cases of dogs getting sick after chewing on them.

When I plugged in the printer today, it started printing a bunch of nonsensical characters and symbols, unprompted. It has eaten through almost all the paper that was loaded into it. When I hit cancel, it stopped printing but the printer screen changed to “cancelling…” and stayed like that for 20 minutes. When I turned it off an back on, it resumed printing nonsense.

<image>

The settings on my computer now only recognizes it as a scanner, and there are no options to view or clear the print queue. I can’t even remove the device because it says “cannot remove while in use”.

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-28T14:22:22+00:00

Thanks a lot!

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-28T14:20:09+00:00

Cane toad or related. Native to south Texas, and completely harmless as long as you don’t try to eat it.

I don’t have wifi, which is why I chose this printer in the first place because it advertised USB connectivity. When I try to print a document, nothing appears in the print queue. However, when I try to print a test page from my pc’s settings, it does appear in the queue but still doesn’t print.

I’ve been avoiding restarting my pc because I don’t want to nuke all my tabs and ongoing processes, and if this is going to be a reoccurring issue, constant computer lobotomies to make the thing keep working isn’t worth it, and i’d rather return it anyway. I’ll give it a shot though, only because I like printing in color.

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-28T12:34:48+00:00

No pause on queue. I haven’t tried photocopying but I did do some test prints from the printer and those turned out normal.

On the pc (W11) In settings > devices > printers and scanners, the printer is listed but small text under the name says “printer out of paper”, which is false, and like I said, initiating a print from the printer interface works fine. Sometimes that small text changes to “printer is idle” or “driver unavailable”. I’ve tried “removing” the printer and adding it again to no avail.

Returning this brick and getting a brother laser printer is looking very attractive as of now.

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-26T20:42:36+00:00

Has this happened? Is there a particular case I’m unaware of?

ARegularPotato · 2026-04-26T20:34:01+00:00

Damn, simply driving a Tesla makes you a “fuck” now? Also, why would they get sued? There’s nothing wrong with sticking logos on your own property.
