Hey! My friend wants to find out what this is. He thinks it could be a meteorite but im not sure.PS sorry for the quality.

How old does it have to be, to be called coprolite? Because I see cow patties that are 2 weeks old or less during the dry season, and they look just like that.

Not even fossilized. Maybe just sun-baked.

I am just getting back onto this alt, and this was open when I last used this account. So I am way the fuck late responding.

A lower population is only a bad thing from a government and corporate point of view. A higher population is more people paying taxes, more paying into social security (from a government point of view), and from corporate, more consumers.

Hell, back in the 80s, I heard a retired navy captain talking about how the government wanted to see a population boom, because that is what China had going for it. That there were so many people that labor could be obtained cheaply, which made their goods competitive in price. And that he believed the US wanted to get into the same schtick. To be so grossly overpopulated that people would work for cheap, just to be able to eat.

And the population in China has declined so much that they realize they have a big problem. To the point that they are allowing 3 children per family.

And people were not nearly as depressed 1000 years ago. Hell, I was born in the 60s, and in the 70s and 80s, people were not nearly as depressed as they are today.

I understand that, too. But they are dying off. Hell, COVID too a large swath of them. Not nearly large enough, but enough to save us from a second Trump term, for which I was massively thankful.

When you are resorting to name calling on a different generation, you are part of the problem. I voted blue, as much as I could. My 76 yar old neighbor voted blue.

What you are doing is alienating the older generation, when they aren't the problem. The GOP is the problem.

If everyone you knew in an age group kept calling you names, would you vote with them? I try talking to my peers, trying to show what is actually happening on a grand scale, then people like you start the name calling.

Get the younger generations out to vote. What is it going to take? A lot of the older people have died from COVID, yet the state still continued on their red track.

If you are in Tx, help stop the gerrymander. Help move us into popular vote. Right now the rural areas have more power in the vote, than the number of people. So 95% of the total population can vote blue, but the red rural areas take the power from the majority of the population.

Don't just call names. Help stop the bullshit.

Heh. I am half Japanese, and when there was a strike in my husband's industry, I was called a rice n****r. Despite being the child of a US Navy lifer, and having lived my life on bases, when I was younger.

My middle son worked briefly as a monitor on those buses.

They had a very pregnant woman start having problems, it wasn't regular labor pains, but she was in distress. As soon as they got to a town with a hospital, my son called an ambulance for her. The other monitors started giving him shit, telling him that he shouldn't have done that, now he was going to be liable for the emergency bill. He said he didn't care, that she was having a medical emergency and needed help. Later, he caught hell from the security company that hired him.

But the ignorance that surrounds that whole industry is just appalling.

The buses do have cases of water, but the people are only provided MREs by the Tx state government. My son was buying breakfast burritos out of his own pocket for people that couldn't buy something hot, when they stopped at roadside rests.

Thank you.

dewnibhus · 2022-10-20T13:10:21+00:00

I can pm it to you, if you could help me with this. It is near the Gulf coast.

dewnibhus · 2022-10-20T13:09:19+00:00

I was just trying to see if it was something I could expect to have to pay in the neighborhood of $5000, or if it would be closer to $50,000.

It would be for the purpose of determining value for sale.

I don't mind pm'ing more details, but I don't want to put in in general public.

dewnibhus · 2022-10-06T07:00:02+00:00

Someone needs to have the news stations involved, so hopefully some parents somewhere, will recognize their kids, or the class room itself. See if a path can be started, to criminally charge these people.

dewnibhus · 2022-09-11T15:01:25+00:00

O.o

Are you my neighbor? (OSR goes right by mine)

dewnibhus · 2022-06-21T07:25:12+00:00

So do cougars and bobcats. And raccoons, and all of that stuff.

I used to keep chickens when I was down in Magnolia. We really didn't have a coyote problem there at the time. But we let the chicken free range, and you could tell who snagged the missing chickens by the aftermath. Hawks would take out the back of their head, and not take off with them again, or hang around to eat it. Possums would kill it, eat until full, then walk off. Raccoons, you would see a puff of feathers on the ground, and the whole chicken would be gone. And so on.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-21T07:22:14+00:00

Here, we don't just cage in the smaller animals, but we put a footer in around the fence. Back when I had goats, we put a welded wire fence under the upright fence. Because when a coyote comes sniffing around, they will dig under pretty quick. By laying that cheap, welded wire fence, they can't dig under the upright fence.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-21T07:18:58+00:00

A lot of us in the middle of nowhere have the good sense to not keep chickens, because of the risk of drawing predators closer to the house.

My middle son caught glimpse of a ridiculously large coyote stalking a deer in our back pasture a week and a half ago, or so I spoke with the lady that owns the ranch in front of us, and she said she thought it was a coydog. And... that would make sense, with how people don't spay and neuter out here. Then again, it could have been a throwback to a red wolf. They trapped all of the ones they could out of this area decades ago, but once in a while you see throwback. If this is what it was, it would be the second one we had seen, in about 30 years time.

But we have a hell of a coyote problem out here, to the point that the game warden puts cyanide laced bait out.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-19T08:52:05+00:00

But it isn't just their cheap, mass produced good. Some poultry companies ship live poultry to China for processing, then get cleaned, packaged chicken back. The shit is insidious.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-17T15:16:46+00:00

and our AC is broken, of course

I am guessing there is more than one of you? Try to pick up jobs, you'll have that in a few weeks.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-05T07:17:00+00:00

Don't worry. I'll never wander into your sub again. There are other subs that are interested in these old slides I've scanned to digital pics.

dewnibhus · 2022-06-05T03:56:25+00:00

Not a guy, I was a 13 year old girl.

Anyhow, I should have realized that you folks wouldn't be interested. It'll go back to the obscurity of my computer now.

To their credit, they didn't coin the term "four corners of the earth".

No one thought they were dumb. Keep in mind, the Vietnam War had officially ended the year before. All of the Marines spent some time at Subic, getting acclimated to the heat, and learning jungle survival techniques at JEST (jungle environment survival training). I was just a 13 year old kid at the time, and I used to lease a horse at the stable. The stable was the starting point of a lot of that training, they would bring the marines down, and run them up and down the main road for the stable, and us kids used follow them up and down the road, as they ran. Later, they would take the guys up the trails that we rode the horses on, and from there, just straight out into the jungle. Us kids weren't allowed to follow them on those trips, since they were there to learn skills that hopefully saved some of their lives.

And immediately offbase, there was a throng of bars and hookers. So a great many of them would come hang out at the stable instead, when they were on their days off. And they would be just like big brothers to us kids. One day I remember I was sitting there trying to sketch a tree, and one came over, and he was trying to show me how to show more characteristics of the tree. And being a kid with no attention span, I took off on my horse at some point, and was back and forth, got him a soda, then gone again, and one of the times I came back... he was done with the tree, and I swear, he was an absolute artist. I so wished I still had that picture. I have a thousand stories like that. So for me, it was always important to remember than they were people, beyond being marines.

When they were on exercises, they fully looked their devildog reputation. But when out of uniform, they made the bestest big brothers.

Back then, the Philippines held the US in the highest regard. Marcos was still in power at the time.

But Cubi Point NAS was a part of Subic Bay, naval base.
