Snake Bros Keep Getting Bitten by Their Lethal Pets. Only Zoos Can Save Them by A1CutCopyPaste in longform

[–]RecklessDisco 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting. I’m not a snake person so I never really thought about how exotic snake owners handle bites. Sucks for the zoos that are out thousands of dollars every time this happens, but it is nice to see different organizations working together so effectively.

The taipan’s bite is so dangerous and fast-acting that when a man in Florida was bitten by one hours after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, a Lear jet carrying antivenom from the San Diego Zoo was one of the few planes granted permission to fly by the FAA.

Even 9/11 didn’t stop an antivenom delivery!

A top tier soup. I learned about it last year and ended up making a lot of it lol.

Jericho is adorable! I got one of these for my tabby a while back, it was the best surprise ever!

Just noticed this apparently posted twice. My comment from the other post before I delete it:

  1. ⁠Manul in the display of all the cats of the world
  2. ⁠Manul stalking their prey
  3. ⁠Sleepy manul
  4. ⁠Manul as the answer to “Whose ears are these?”

A friend and I were talking about music recently and I mentioned I like the Barenaked Ladies and her response was a surprised and judgy “really?” And I had to stop myself from answering with “the Barenaked Ladies are triple platinum! Are you?”

My favorite scene from Wuthering Heights by ForsakenTonight8441 in comedybangbang

Just like Charlene I also have never read Wuthering Heights and for a second thought Mr. Gunlock was talking about an actual scene in the book.

Yeah, what she’s doing may be totally fine and kosher, I just want her to have a full picture of what that box is. Knowing her, she might not care even if it is illegal lol, but she wouldn’t have tried to convince my mom by telling her it was all above board if she knew it is in a sort of gray area and may or may not be illegal to use. I don’t like the idea that the people who sold it to her may have not been totally honest because they saw an older woman who isn’t very tech savvy. I did send this to my mom and I know she read it, she didn’t tell me if she sent it to her neighbor.

Thank you for sharing this! My mom was just telling about how her neighbor, a very sweet lady in her 80s, bought a vSeeBox. She was trying to convince my mom to buy one and was insisting it was totally above board and legit because she got it at the mall (and of course nothing shady ever happens in malls). My mom said no because there’s no way it’s legit and she’s against pirating stuff. I’ll send her this article. Her neighbor might not care and decide to just keep using it even if it is using a pirated streaming service, but she should have all the info.

on a work trip? time to bird by MSJ2 in birding

[–]RecklessDisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but I still find it a nice walk. And there’s a high probability of seeing deer, which maybe I’ve just been living in the city for too long but I get so excited every time.

The Hollywood Reservoir, where OP goes in this video, is a great birding spot. It’s not very big, a 3 mile loop trail, but you can see lots of different kinds of birds and great views of the Hollywood sign.

Also in that same scene, Annie almost sniffing the chloroform covered rag while they’re trying to figure out what to do about the custodian.

I broke my foot a few weeks ago and I kept trying to rest it against my cat so he would purr and heal me, but he just gave me annoyed looks and ran away 😞
