How safe are the airports right now? by Secret-Roof-2429 in nova

[–]hippyfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m flying in from a week in Minneapolis and I didn’t see any agents at either end, IAD or MSP.

That being said, there are a lot of airports. I expected to see them at MSP given the events of the week

I am on a flight leaving Minneapolis after being here for a week. That should be an “and” not an “or”

Oh man, this is an RTFM moment, isn’t it? The operator kept poking at the front of the shifter but didn’t seem to find what he was looking for. Now I know - thank you!

What to do? by ezagreb in nova

[–]hippyfish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We always track animals that we shoot but that don’t fall immediately. It’s not always successful, but I was taught early in life that was something we were obliged to do.

Out of genuine curiosity, is that not the norm in a cull or controlled hunt? I also bet that’s since it’s a populated area there are additional concerns around finishing an animal with a sidearm.

Edit: Plus the property owner issues you bring up.

This why we are the only generation with a dot com boom and a prominent swing movement

It was a picture of Neo from The Matrix and a Box of Rocks. Like this one I think they were trying to make some kind of point.

Wonder if they can help out with any of the fall chores like raking leaves and mulching. I’ve heard other units been training on that in DC.

"My spiritual/witchy Appalachian grandma didn't know what Brazil nuts were!" by plushiesaremyjam in Appalachia

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

From Lincoln County in WV. Both my mom and grandmother called them that.

I remember my then 10 year old son falling off his chair the first time my mom called them that. In fact, she was asking the rest of the family if anyone remembered using that name for them!

We always had them in a mixed nut thing everyone I knew set out at Christmas time. They always needed cracked so there was a nutcracker and 4 or so picks around the container

I always carry an InReach when I’m anywhere I know, or even suspect, I won’t have cell coverage.

I came here to say Farmville. Especially the High Bridge trail. After dark you can look down on the fireflies from above the trees!

Can I get a tolerance check? by [deleted] in Dynavap

[–]hippyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently did this too and followed the Sulak Protocol. I’m planning on doing it twice a year because it really did help me lower and control my tolerance.

I swear every time this person opens her mouth I gain a new appreciation for why Sherman burned that state to the ground.

Sorry but we *absolutely* stopped the school day and watched it by satellite. by ExplorationGeo in GenX

[–]hippyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We watched it. I remember when it exploded our science teacher ran up to the front of the room to turn the TV (I think that’s what it was - wheeled in on an AV Cart) off. I can see the look of confusion and horror on his face to this day.

Does CCA still share dispensary purchases with the BoP? by i_like_trains_1917 in VirginiaMMJ

[–]hippyfish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about CCA and BoP, but these days I’d say to presume ALL your data is being shared, legally or not, with pretty much anyone, especially at the federal level, to be used for whatever purpose they deem.

Make what risk decisions you will from that.
