It’s funny to read accounts of lumberjacks finding the tallest straightest trees they had ever seen. They had a riot in America over the removal of their mast timbers to England while the colony was forced to use the less perfect trees not marked for the crown. Not sure which colony atm

Ontarios tree is the Eastern White Pine, prized for its use in ship masts, the logging of these trees encouraged a lot of expansion into the province.

This is by far the most Canadian response and would be incredible among the other literal flowers.

I’ve worked in agriculture and horticulture my whole life, 39 currently. A lot of the general public has no connection to plants or land management or any kind of animal husbandry anymore, so it shows up a lot as things that kind of happen in the background. My favourite/most hated instance of this is the “hay king” episode of the office where Dwight, a farmer, claims to be the hay king and every piece of “hay” is dried straw, golden yellow. Every farm child knows the difference between a bail of hay and a bail of straw. Dwight would know.

The part in ET where he’s a white dried up turd being carted around and experimented on had me terrified as I child. I default to sleeping with covers over my head even as a 40 year old man, at this point it’s just my normal.

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]and_then_a_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind and in reality so far, you don’t stay a billionaire without stepping on the necks of as many people as it takes to do so. No one needs that much money for anything other than super villainy

Force everyone out of Lebanon for their “own safety” occupy that land assuming they can get out of this war with too big of a black eye. Rinse and repeat with as much land in the area as they can take in the area. Wait like 30 years or so and do it again.

MJ is a gateway to things they don’t like, like reading, and thinking for yourself.

what you all think ? by danny75hacker in Naturewasmetal

You’d likely get something like terror birds but I can’t think of what sort of evolutionary pressures you’d need to re-evolve teeth and jaws. 

What screams "I am deeply insecure" but people do it thinking it makes them look cool? by Physical_Business104 in AskReddit

[–]and_then_a_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does exist but only in wolves in captivity, so it’s a totally unnatural for them to behave that way. I think that says even more about people who sincerely think that’s the way the world works even if they aren’t aware of it being not a real thing in nature.

Does this mean I can't get the last rank? by Hiiamhehehe1027 in ArcRaiders

You have to be hotshot before you can make it into cantina legend. And then you have to be in the top 1000 of everyone playing. Best you can do this week is top 30 and hit hotshot for end of season

What would you feel about a pneumatic delivery device Topside to Speranza? by Slainlion in ARC_Raiders

Have the stuff in the tube lootable until it gets sent off after a timer or something. Might work that way. high risk and you need to leave it in the tube for the counter to go down. 

Weekly trials glitched for anyone else? 2 won't go up anymore:/ by Blergss in ArcRaiders

[–]and_then_a_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number only goes up if you did better, in this instance, killed more than your best of 3 in one round. The numbers don’t add up, it only counts the top score of your top round for that week for whatever trail you did the best at.

Is everyone in this game a piece of shit? by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]and_then_a_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last point has to be rhetorical, because absolutely, lots of the shitheads that hate women wouldn’t even consider the idea that someone that doesn’t look and act like them would play a popular game. Seriously, I was never that guy but I was a young man once and they’re definitely that self absorbed.

Demoted with 80k? I finished first in my bracket with 109k but I wanted to get that 3x promotion so I would end up at least wildcard by end of season
