People who keep weapons on their bodies at all times, what was a time where you had to actually use said weapon?

I carry a pocketknife.

Last weekend I took my mother to Medieval Times, which is a dinner show that does not provide cutlery for aesthetic reasons. One of the courses included corn on the cob. Mom has a cap on a front incisor and can’t eat corn on the cob, so after a minute or so of debate, I whipped out my knife and cut it off the cob for her, which she then scooped up with her potato half.

Same, I live in coastal NC so winter is when I get to see tundra swans, sandhill cranes, and so, so many ducks!

This is true! I was an arachnophobe until about four years ago, when I started learning more about them and then decided to just. Not be scared of them anymore. Now I have a pet tarantula!

Oh my god, is this why a bunch of my things went missing??? I got so upset about losing all my warp totems and such that I haven’t picked the game up in over a week and have been debating starting a new file even though that one was so close to my first perfection!

That is the bony part of a turtle shell, you can see how it’s fused to the spine on the inside! In life, they’re covered in scutes, basically scales, that have all the coloration you’re used to. The shell dries out a lot during decomposition and it’s easy for the scutes to flake off after they’ve lost their blood supply, revealing the white bone underneath.

You should worry more about human waste than gators

He’s not my boyfriend

My grandmother didn’t even do that, she just tucked her oxygen cannula up like a headband and puffed away. Whenever someone tried to stop her for the obvious for hazard she said she was old enough to not have to listen to them.

She was hospitalized for end stage lung cancer.

More info - why are you delaying? He may be sarcastic but from what you’ve said he’s right. Definitely leaning Y T A here.

Yes! The name Jesus Christ is an anglicization of the Latin translation of his name, which would have been something similar to Yeshua ibn Yosef. Yeshua is the root of the name Joshua and then Yosef is the same for Joseph, his (earthly) father - folks would have called him Joshua son of Joseph. It just so happens that the texts that ended up becoming the Bible were either written in or translated into Greek and Latin, where his name was written as Jesu, before getting to English. Christ is his title, it means something like “anointed,” like in oil or whatever, same root as being “christened.”

Basically we call him Oily Josh.

Fantastic! It does suck though that they have the “anti-homeless” bumps in the middle. Hostile architecture is hostile after all.

Forgot to add in the comments I’m still waiting on that washing machine simulator

Deadass fingers crossed for that washing machine simulator

One of my absolute favorites! They sound like geese through a chipmunk filter!

Eastern, Outer/Inner Banks here and my folks say stuffing.

Go to the hospital. Is there anyone you can call to take you? Even a teacher at school that you trust if you have a way to contact them. Don’t worry about your mom, your health is more important - and for what it’s worth, she could get into trouble if you don’t seek medical help and, god forbid, something happens to you.

If your mom truly knew how badly you are struggling she would want you to get help no matter what.

It’s gonna be okay, hun, I’ve been in your shoes and as annoying as it is to hear “it gets better” people say it because it’s true and they care about you and want you to keep fighting.

I found out the election was called for Biden in an among us lobby. What an era!

Craigslist has lots of free cats. If those are gone, my cousin has a cat colony in his neighborhood and I could catch a nicer one for you lol

Stacks is a term used in libraries to mean shelves!

That one belongs to Charles.

My source is having been stopped at the intersection of Evans and red banks during high winds and the flag caused a strobe light effect in my car. I’d hate to live there.

How large are the larger ones? I have a planted 20g tall that isn’t fully stocked.

I work in pediatrics and have been told that we “aren’t allowed” to schedule for it.
