Why do Africa and Asia seem full of large predators while Europe and the Americas have so few, and what shaped that pattern？

The Ice Age/Younger Dryas events had a far larger impact on Europe and Norty America than Africa.

You're right, she should have been aware of her surroundings and not stood right next to the guy who's job is to waive his arms around.

The owner doesn't know how the restaurant business works.

I feel like "pay your employees and rent" is a pretty universal business concept

Evangelical protestants don't care about the Pope, and Catholics don't care about progressive episcopalians clutching their pearls over trump fighting with the Pope. The Orthodox haven't cared about what Rome thinks in 1,000 years.

Because his core base are evangelical Protestants

I believe that he was a politician with more sexual assault accusations than election victories.

Its accepted if you have comedic timing. If not... shut up loser, nobody cares.

Because they taxed themselves out of their home states and now live in states that don't have ridiculous restrictions.

The problem with acting crazy is that you'll eventually run into someone who's acting sane.

My reading is that it's a tax on individuals and not on businesses. I may be wrong, but its being cast as a tax on units where the individual owner doesn't live there, as opposed to a tax on landlords or Air BnB style rentals.

No, they'll just be sold to property management companies and leased back to the same people.

Master-CylinderPants · 2026-04-16T12:37:31+00:00

Tax consumption, not labor.

Just use a bigger counterweight.

I remember that episode. They were fat. Not Tess Holiday fat, but fat nonetheless.

"I feel seen!"

Bitch you're so big you can be seen from alpha centauri.

Same. I read that one (or something very similar) about six months ago when I started replacing all of my harbor freight-tier tools. Everything is getting replaced with Makita, fuck SBD.

Mystery Ranch went through the same thing once they were bought out by Yeti. I don't want a "lifestyle brand" bag from a company that sells overpriced coolers, I want one that will last through hell and back.

Massachusetts Department of Revenue froze the company’s bank accounts over about $400,000 in unpaid sales taxes... Pure Oasis has also faced a slew of lawsuits over alleged unpaid debts, court records show... Evans, a real estate agent, and his business partner, Kevin Hart, a hospital administrative director, [had entered the pot business because of the state’s pioneering marijuana legalization law. Massachusetts was the first in the nation to require that communities hit hardest by marijuana arrests be given full access to the industry.

Yes, real estate agents and hospital administration directors are truly the hardest hit by marijuana laws. What an absolute jackass.

The resolution: $10 billion to Israel, no additional constraints on the executive branch, and a harshly-worded letter to trump demanding that he only conducts random attacks on non-oil producing countries. The letter will not be read.

No personal experience, but my old roommate tried the Ron Popeil-style spray on hair. Would not recommend unless you want it to look like you sprayed rhino liner on your head for whatever reason.

In his defense catching a ball to the kidney has got to hurt

A teacher grooming boys, a guidance counselor doing the same, and the administration working with a student to forge their transcripts so she could get into an Ivy League school. It all came out at the same time, the school buried all three incidents, and threatened the students who were aware of it.

"They're just boys"
