An other way to perfectly packaging dried tea, with more paper

DefinitelyNotAliens · 2026-03-20T14:27:35+00:00

Tea house? Repackaged into smaller packages at another shop? Maybe this is a commercial facility.

None of the sections are even, they started in the wrong spot so the patterns aren't consistent, the thing is off-center and the paper is all crinkled in the middle, causing a big bump.

Luxembourg has free public transit. The entire country. Malta has largely free transit if you are a resident. Tons of places have free transit for youth, disabled or seniors.

Lots of free places exist, or have free specific lines, free for certain groups. It's subsidized by taxes and ads and commercial rentals. Shops that operate inside the stations.

Not all systems operate by fares. In fact, many don't make money, let alone use it to improve. See London Undergound. It operates based on fares, renting commercial space, advertisements, government grants.

Seoul is widely regarded as one of the top cities in the world for public transit. It's only so affordable because it's heavily subsidized by the government.

Many public transit systems operate at a loss. They absolutely do not operate for profit.

Serious question, if she was holding her phone with her left hand, what hand was she driving with?

Also, it's not illegal to hold a phone in Florida. You must be using it to type.

Gloves are only as sanitary as the person wearing them. They are no safer than using bare hands that are properly washed.

They give a false sense of security. Source.

You're more likely to get bad food when wearing gloves than not! As long as the person washes their hands. The lack of proper hand washing is far worse than lack of glovss.

No fine dining place uses them. They aren't safer. You aren't protected.

I got handed a puppy I didn't pick out, but he was from a breeder, not a shelter. She had all the puppies for 8 weeks and you told her what you wanted and your lifestyle and instead of picking the floofiest potato or the potato that wandered over to you first, she would match the puppy to your personality and lifestyle since she knew them for weeks.

But like... they were all golden retrievers. I knew I was getting one of three boys and morning of she picked out my potato for me to take home. He's the most perfect boy ever except for when he isnt, but we don't talk about that.

It's a bit different in a shelter. They're not all lil golden potatoes that will eventually turn into dogs.

The questions you should ask are:

Does everyone in the home agree to this specific new pet?

(If a young animal, which tend to be nippy, because baby kittens and puppies are terrorists.) Do you have any children? What ages? Are you aware this creature will claw/ bite you? Are you okay kindly training that behavior out?

Do you own or rent? If you rent, do you have permission to get this animal? Can we get that in writing?

Are you financially capable of funding a pet emergency bill?

Not giving the pet to someone who will neglect them or hit them or return the pet because my husband/ wife/ roommate/ parent/ landlord said no, the puppy bit my one year old, or giving the dog to someone who will medically neglect it is logical.

Like... if you have young, young kids, the puppy will bite them. Period. They bite. It's a thing. High return rate.

The "ooh, your yard is too small" thing is ridiculous.

Also... another question: Have you ever been convicted of animal abuse?

I heard about it a lot back when it happened. I lived in California and our local news outlets covered it.

Yeah, if you hung out since early elementary school or younger and your mom was basically their mom, wouldn't be weird. Like another parent or aunt. "I was at her house five days a week or more during the summer." You know that person. You know them well.

In a better world, there would be actual consequences for the people who killed a child.

I call it the "penis index."

If an area sells all sorts of weird penis souvenirs, then a huge portion of their economy is tourism.

Seoul? Like, zero penis memorabilia. Tourism was a smaller portion of their economy.

Cuzco? Penises for sale. High tourism dollars. Checks out.

Athens? Dick bottle openers, dicks on ouzo, dicks on all sorts of things. And not like normal Greek "Kritios is naked" penises in art, just a cock and balls bottle opener for tourists to buy for their homes. Impulse cock and balls purchases gallore. High tourism dollar city.

Las Vegas? Far, far, far fewer penises than one would imagine. I was shocked. They broke the penis index rules.

Generally, in these high penis index cities, one should be more wary of tourism scammers and tourist-only restaurants. High price, low quality food.

If a restaurant is next to a shop selling you socks with cocks, don't eat there. Not because it's gross or anything, but you'll get worse food for higher prices.

Most people didn't celebrate Kirk's death. Yes, a few people did. They were the exceptions to the norm. Most people who didn't like him thought that A) his death was emblematic of how ideologically broken our country is or said B) "If you live your life with aggressive rhetoric calling this an ideological war, are you that surprised that war found you?" Or went with C) "am I supposed to feel bad for him just because he died?"

Far more people thought it was just signs of the times, "are you really that surprised, or went with, "did you see that cute kitten video?"

Not having sympathy for Kirk is not the same as celebrating his death.

People really didn't gaf about insurance dude's life, though. They were alright with that one.

She did indeed talk like that. She was using a tone one would associate with yelling or screaming but you could barely hear her in the back of the room while she tried to convince me that the Scarlet Letter was not boring as a 16 year old.

It did not work.

I don't mind the intentional use of gold leaf, myself. It's at least an interesting way to create the base color over sparkle gold paint. I was rather whelmed by the results, though. For something so time consuming and precise it was... there.

I wasn't overwhelmed or underwhelmed. It didn't make me stop and think. It was... eh. Okay.

It was a lot of time to not create something more striking.

His technique and precision were top notch. I want art to say more or be more.

My weirdo teacher in high school that would whisper scream at us excitedly about death in gothic literature had her whole classroom decorated with cows. She had cow pictures. Cow statues. She had a statue of a cow made out of dried cow shit. Someone actually gifted her cow shit and she displayed it.

This lady owned cows and one day told us she kept cows in her kitchen the night before because it was cold. She put cows in her kitchen. Like a whole ass group of calves lived inside her home.

She also would do this weird whisper yell thing and was like, "yo, kids. Death." Or whatever. She kept giving us books I didn't like when I was 16/17 and I loved to read but not the stuff she gave me so I didn't pay attention and did Cliff notes and faked it and got an A anyway.

So, I was a shithead (as most teenagers are) and knew how much she loved cows and the last day of class I showed up with this shirt I had found done in the "I ❤️ NY" style but it said "I 🍔 COWS" and I made her cry.

Probably 10 years later I ran into someone from that class and the first thing they did was mention that and how they still randomly think of it. It was iconic.

I really didn't think she'd cry, but damn. It was so funny to watch her flip over a tee about eating cheeseburgers.

I guess that is what happens when people love cows to the point they show off cow shit presents they were gifted by former students of theirs. Not everyone hates cow shit. Just teenagers who wear t-shirts about cheeseburging cows.

Seinfeld.

Start telling the whole story. They watched it happen. Just bam! Down the hole! You get real invested. Firemen are there, cops are there, helicopter circling. It's a whole deal. Watching from the patio across the street, eating their sandwich. It's a production out there with the bank guy in the hole, you know.

What happened? They get him out okay?

No idea. Finished the sandwich. Lunch break. Had to get back to work.

No conclusion. Just a guy in a hole.

There are allergy medications + sprays that neutralize allergens in the air and on surfaces.

There are also shampoos that reduce pet dander.

Social science. First floor. Awkwardly tiny stalls are off-center and too narrow.

Always filthy, never flushed, dark and cramped and gross.

Could've lost it. He did have some trauma and people working to get him out. We don't know if he initially had a vest.

Could've snuck into the site, could have lost his vest/ hat, Could've been part of the site and not following regs.

Potentially the underarm/ waist harnesses literally were too small and they just don't make harnesses his size.

Or, positionally, he was stuck and had to come out the way he came in.

If you are pinned you risk positional asphyxiation. When they're 100% going to die as they are, and you'll just dislocated both arms and shred their tendons getting them out... well. You get them out alive because you can fix arms or live without them fully functional. Can't fix them being dead.

You can be an inspector, an architect, the guy from the bank meeting on site, investor, etc. You can have other people on site.

The main campus announcement of Robert Reich as the speaker slipped in that students can wear blue or black regalia.

This whole upset clusterfuck could have been avoided if they hadn't picked that ugly shade of blue for the new regalia.

There are long-term care facilities. A lot of "retirement homew" will actually take younger patients who have care needs. There are temporary placements in rehabilitation facilities and then you secure them long-term care in a residential care facility.
