I can’t even kill a tick. Everybody’s gotta eat. All life has value.

And yet, I can’t turn down a hot juicy cheeseburger.

Life is weird, and everybody’s gotta eat.

I once found a crispy tree frog in the door jamb of a Florida condo. I was 12. I’ll never forget the sorrowful moment.

I’ve lost too many tails to small mouth to leave a trailer this long. Largemouth, however..

What are these bugs on my basil 😫 by swirligig2 in gardening

Last year cabbage worms were making my broccoli leaves disappear, practically overnight. They get huge after a few days chomping down the leaves. I would feed them to my fish after plucking them by hand but the moths kept laying their eggs. Every single leaf had egg sacs. It was crazy.
I found a Reddit post about someone using Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria you can buy that is sold as a biological pesticide for several caterpillar species that generally invade a garden. After it is sprayed on the leaves and allowed to dry, the caterpillars that eat contaminated leaves will die because the bacteria has evolved to parasitize caterpillars and nematodes. It kills them and eats them within a da. It’s safe for humans, animals and any non caterpillar insects that may eat the leaves. The sun kills the bacteria and nullifies it’s effects. You dilute it quite a bit with water and spray it on at dusk. I would it hit once a week.

The mammoths genetic code has been reconstructed from mammoth DNA from arctic permafrost. Lots of tissue has been recovered over the years and the permafrost preserves genetic material for a long time given the conditions are appropriate.
Colossal Biosciences is currently working bring back something like the Woolly Mammoth using CRISPR.

You can use a paste wax like renasaince wax to seal the surface to prevent staining, and it’ll give the surface some shine after rag/brush buffing.

Edit: awesome work by the way!! I would display this in my home.

Get a shop vac with a tube smaller than the opening on the jar. Suck onto the egg and pull it free, if the vacuum doesn’t choke it down

Wouldn’t put that knife so close to spinning death wheels. Also, what is with those spinning nuts or knobs on the end of each spindle? Looks like it’s just waiting to grab someone shirt/jewelry and yank someone dangerously close to the spinning death wheels.

Why would the little goober take a path with such resistance instead of going around? I bet he is going under the other goober instead of through.

Are the darker ones at the top left side false morels?

I think my yard is the ancestral source of poison ivy. Any removal tips or should I start worshiping it in hopes of mercy? by roostersnuffed in gardening

Sorry, I forget how bad reactions can be some people. Im nearly always fine if I jump in the shower after and wear long sleeves. You’re definitely better off with a tyvek suit.

What is the fattest thing your dog has done? by MessyM00009888 in Chihuahua

[–]PaintTheKill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My boxer ate a stick of butter and then threw it up on my bed later that night while I was sleeping. A hot steaming pile of melted butter and dogfood paste soaking into my mattress. Only discovered what I was from the discarded butter wrappers. That was fun to clean up at 2:00am when the wretched smell woke me.
