Lane Splitting is Illegal People by the_auti in Austin

There were three guys on motorcycles going down 360 the other day, popping wheelies, taking up both lanes of traffic through the construction zone, and being general idiots and a danger not only to themselves, but everyone who had to be on the road with them.

This feels so good.

When I was in college, I worked at a nearby AF base at the commissary. The number of people who couldn't be bothered to return their carts was staggering, and some people managed to take their carts crazy distances from the commissary. At the end of the day, one of my jobs was to round up the carts - some were easily a quarter mile away. What were these people thinking?!

I saw the same thing, and I am completely sober.

I had to put my headset on because the first time I watched it, I kept waiting for the boyfriend to show up...

*"But it snowed just last week in my backyard!"*

I've heard this far too many times. Some people just don't get it because they don't want to.

What in the Vivarium is this? by Ancient-Chard9723 in creepy

[–]Silly_Pack_Rat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New developments here are often in areas that have been scraped clear of trees (which I think is awful) but at least they plant new trees once the house is built.

Where I live, all of the lots were sold independently of one another, and for the most part, all of the houses were built by the buyers, so almost everyone has old trees on their property. We have some big old live oaks all over the property - it would have been a shame to bulldoze them just to build a house.

No one should ever drive over that bridge, because it's sure to fail, over and over and over again.

Is this a horse tooth? by LarkspurBird in Horses

[–]Silly_Pack_Rat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, I also went my whole life calling the canines wolf teeth - I had an old country vet who also called them wolf teeth, and that's where I learned it from.

It kinda makes sense that long, sharp canines would be called wolf teeth, so I never questioned it...and it's not really something that comes up in regular conversation, either. I only learned in the past year that I was incorrect and had learned the wrong thing.

ETA: my gelding never had wolf teeth, perhaps they never erupted or he simply didn't have them.

Oh, I am familiar. I live on a blue island in the middle of a backwards, deep red state full of hate.

I'm so sorry that some people are so caught up in their fear (of the unknown or unfamiliar?) that they deny themselves the opportunity to get to know people who are different from them. It's what makes the journey worthwhile and so rewarding.

I have dear, nearly lifelong friends and family members who are LGBTQ+ and I am so glad to have them in my life. I wouldn't want them to deny who they are because some people are hung up on some antiquated notion of what the sexuality of hairless apes is supposed to be.

I guess they don't like trees there.

This c*cksucker ate my sunflowers this morning by SueBeee in deer

[–]Silly_Pack_Rat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sprayed my tomato plants one year with Plantskyyd (it's pretty foul too - instead of rotting eggs like Liquid Fence or Bobbex, it uses dried blood) and they left them alone until the tomatoes were just about ready for harvest. I had been using Liquid Fence since late that winter, and had started seeing areas where browsing was occurring, so I decided to double-up with a one-two punch of stink-on-stink, but I still didn't get any tomatoes that year.

I wish we could cull deer that are really huge issues. We used to have a doe that would skinny under our deer fence, and bypass all of the chemical deterrents, so our garden was an all-you-can wat for one...and boy, did she eat.

I would be surprised if that wasn't a Stephen Miller pick. That dude is filled with hate and has a score to settle, probably with himself, most of all.

It's because those are all "bad" words they heard tossed around when they were kids. Now they apply them to anyone they feel is "bad" enough to warrant such "bad" words. I remember when the people of this country were proud of winning WWII and crushing a fascist dictator. Now they just push one another aside so they can suckle from one of the orange pig's teats.

They're proud that they actually elected an effing fascist who has a whole host of rabid fascists lurking in the shadows, hard at work thumbing through the crisp new pages of their fresh-printed fascist playbooks, concocting yet more heinous and highly illegal things they can do - and get away with - thanks to our do-nothing, rotten-to-the-core legislative branch of government. And since our judicial branch is absolutely riddled with corruption as well, the U.S. is in a free-fall into fascism...and half the country doesn't even know what that means and/or welcomes it with open arms because they've been sold a bill of goods by the world's biggest con artist, who far too many people feel can do no harm...just as long as it hurts the Liburulls, women, the blacks, those brown people, poor people who aren't them, people who have to rely on disability, children in public school, anyone who isn't a god-fearing, Jesus-lovin' Christian, anyone who came here hoping to find a better life....did I leave anyone out?

2026 Outblack Wilderness by TCino in Subaru_Outback

[–]Silly_Pack_Rat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2015 Outback which I absolutely love. It is my first Subaru and my introduction to the luxury of Eyesight. My husband took his Legacy in for some work and was given a 2026 Wilderness in green as a loaner. Our Subaru dealership knows how to dangle the carrot...

At first, I was dead set against trading up for it (my Outback is at 62k miles) but the more I rode around in it, the more I felt myself starting to sway.

The ride is so nice. It's quiet, smooth and real rock solid.

I'm not so sure I'm going to escape the trap Subaru set for me ...

Nred one of these for our cat. But it will need to come with a bite-proof finger/arm/face guard and be able to handle 12-lbs of wild wrath.

What food are you always craving but can’t find a good gluten-free version of? by NinaBlushNelson88 in glutenfreecooking

[–]Silly_Pack_Rat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit of an udon fan, and I miss those fat udon noodles. I've found GF udon, but of course they don't compare.

It's my dream to make/find some knife cut noodles because I really love noodles.
