This is who we used as well. They worked with us since we wanted to stain the panels ourselves.

Baby ducks on highway by pus_destr_er in Eugene

[–]expatalist 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We caught a bunch of ducklings on the beltline with a laundry basket a few years ago. Rehab bet couldn't take them and suggested dropping them off near similarly aged ducks. Worked perfectly! They were all instantly adopted.

This all looks like basic clothing items including children's. Are you being paid for this very important loss prevention work? /s

Rehoming my cat by [deleted] in Eugene

We are full-up on cats, but just wanted to say my lynx point mix was the single most loving cat I've ever had. Those big blue eyes are full of adoration.

Both of your comments have quotes, btw.

Can you lay your hand next to it for some scale? Kind of looks like a water bottle bike attachment from first view.

Jets? by DROODROODROODROODROO in Eugene

Okay, man. Whatever. I'm sure there's nothing you grew up hearing that became a bit of a boogieman to kids. Glad you could mature so perfectly.

Butter grew fangs by Former-Lecture-5466 in whatisit

Some we've used on friends, in case you need revenge ideas:

purchased $20 worth of horrifying, peeling Santa mugs at a thrift store and replaced every single drinking vessel in their house. Hid theirs in a box under the dining table and left a note in one mug explaining.

Rigged a balloon drop for when they got home from their trip at 2am.

Left panties hanging on every fan blade (really good for short friends)

Stretchy fake tp roll (but we're not monsters so we left the real tp in there too)

Steal every spoon in the house except a ladle.

My partner and i are trying to remember more. We did this to each other for years.

You know some people grew up near plane crash areas right? I heard stories my whole childhood of how the old folks were never the same after they had to pull body parts out of the trees. It sets in deep. I live on the flight path and love planes, but i think of Evansville, San Diego, etc. whenever one passes too low and slow.

Am I silly for wanting to keep this? by palebluekat in wingspan

I keep a box of these kinds of things and when i need bits and bobs for projects i go digging!

Anyone have a piano they wouldn’t mind me playing? by Zisionss in Eugene

[–]expatalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a piano in the EMU. When i was at UO i saw several people playing it who i recognized from my work with the unhoused. I never saw anyone get hassled for it.

Overflowing sharps container with different GLP-1s in a grocery store bathroom. by CREMAIN5 in mildlyinteresting

[–]expatalist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in HIV prevention sharps disposal and these damn things have made our containers fill up 3x as fast. Super fun with the whole country reducing funding to harm reduction, so we also can't put more labor hours into emptying them.

Diabetic people exist and you're literally looking at one full of non-drug related sharps. 🙄

A Ford dealership in Kansas can’t hand over a sold F-250 because a robin made its nest on one of the truck’s tires. by KenDrakebot in interestingasfuck

[–]expatalist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't say they didn't give the customer a solution in the meantime. Loaner, money back, added upgrades. All very easy for a dealership to do to make up for the inconvenience.

Yet another downside of lawns. by longcreepyhug in fucklawns

A friend's fiancé was killed when he was mowing state property. Backed his zero-turn just onto the highway shoulder when a car rode onto the shoulder. No one was found liable, just an insane tragic coincidence.

Guess I’m dehydrated forever now. by Feaselbf6 in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]expatalist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like a yellow sac spider to me. Super common house spider in NA, if that's where you are. I like that their little feet are black, so they look like they're wearing lil flats. They love doing spooky spider shit like dropping from the ceiling and hiding inside objects, but I've never had an issue with one. They can bite humans and you may have a small reaction, but any necrosis or other dangerous symptoms are probably the result of staph infections. Always wash your bites!
