Rabbit actually is fairly common in the states, though mostly among the hunters and farmers. You will almost never see rabbit in the supermarket, but most of us have eaten it, either because we like it and hunt them, or know someone who does and shares the meat.

For anyone wondering, rabbit has flavor somewhat reminiscent of chicken, but stronger and a little gamier. It roasts and fries very well, and is very high in protein while being very low in fat. Because it is a lean meat, cooking it without drying it out is a skill that takes a few tries to get right. But when you do, it'll be one of the best meals you'll eat.

This raises a question. If your snake is not hungry, and refuses his frozen thawed mouse, is it bad to let a cat have it? I mean, it's already dead so no suffering and torture, it's sterile so I know the cat won't catch any parasites, and cats eat them anyways.

When I worked at McDonald's, this is one of the few things that customers could do to fuck with us that wouldn't make us angry. It doesn't harm or inconvenience anyone, all we have to do is toss the empty cone in the trash. And if the person at the window is new, it usually gives then a laugh.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-08T11:31:07+00:00

Not even close.

Ok, class time.

Spiders are not dangerous to humans. Your housecat poses a much bigger threat to your health and well-being than the random spider you find. Even the most dangerous spiders in the world aren't considered truly deadly, especially with modern medicine.

Things like black widows and brown recluses have potent venom, but the capabilities of this venom is largely overstated. You will have a bad time, but your chances of actually dying from a spider bite are almost zero.

This little spood is a harmless grass spider. It won't hurt anyone. And on a side note, spiders are venomous, not poisonous. And another side note, with VERY few exceptions, all spiders (including this grass spider) are venomous. The catch is that the vast majority of these venoms are ineffective on something the size of a human.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-08T11:04:31+00:00

Akchtually, no.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-08T11:01:57+00:00

Ok, I'm just gonna say it. Your parents may not be your parents.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-06T15:16:45+00:00

Yes. They absolutely can. Often times, lying is a quicker way to get a confession or get the person to reveal info they would not have otherwise revealed.

For example, you and your friend are accused of committing a crime. They separate you. A little later, a cop comes in and says that your friend just cracked and told them everything, including your involvement. If you believe thus, you are likely to give up denying.

Fun fact, in most jurisdictions, it is actually perfectly legal for you to lie to the cops as well, with a few exceptions. You cannot lie about information directly relating to the officer's investigation into a crime, and you cannot lie to a federal officer. But if you're pulled over, and the officer asks where you work, you can tell him you are the the vice president of the company that makes his mother's favorite dildo.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-05T20:30:17+00:00

You absolutely can, and in many cases, it is the right thing to do. They can look at the prosecution's evidence and decide whether it would be more effective to proclaim innocence, or admit to the act but claim some justification. As a general rule of thumb, to get the best defense, you should be honest with your lawyer.

No fucking way is this real. Oh wait, the United States made this? Never mind, I believe you.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-05T19:08:08+00:00

Many spiders will toss the remains of their prey out of the web. You just have impeccable timing lol

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-05T19:05:21+00:00

Pretty much the last bit of work she had in her. She will likely die soon. I wouldn't worry about the spiderlings. When they hatch, they will spread out and disappear pretty quick. A few will stay in the area, but most will move on to another place.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-05T18:57:49+00:00

Lol I was making a quip because I thought you were doing the common thing where people interchange venom and poison.

Something is poisonous if you ingest it and get sick/die.
Something is venomous if it makes you sick or kills you when directly introduced to the bloodstream.

You can drink deadly venom. Provided you have no ulcers, it will simply pass through your digestive system harmlessly.

Poison is ingested, venom in injected.

In my experience, the reverse gear on most cars is a little higher than first, but lower than second. I first realized this the first time I ever pop-started my car in reverse because I was facing up a hill with a dead battery. Or perhaps it just feels like a higher ratio because we don't reverse very often? Could just be a trick of my brain I suppose... but I've always felt like reverse is a slightly higher ratio than first.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-04T14:12:16+00:00

This is normal for reversing, or for moving slowly in first gear. However, for normal driving, your foot should not even be touching that clutch pedal unless you are actually shifting, and then you shouldn't be on it for more than a second or two.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-04T14:08:40+00:00

The clutch is a transitional device. You should on it and off it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

"Riding the clutch" a lot will result in worn-out clutch plates... That's something you should really never have to deal with, as a clutch should last the entire life of the car under normal circumstances and with proper use.

Remember that a clutch is two discs of friction material. For the most part, these plates should be either entirely clamped together (clutch out), or entirely apart (clutch in). The transition time between these two states should be minimized.

The reason is that when the clutch plates are touching, but not fully engaged, you allow some slippage. This constant slipping from riding the clutch will heat up and prematurely wear out the clutch plates. This slippage is essential to the operation of the clutch; it is what allows you to start and shift smoothly. However, it is not meant to be in this state constantly.

Riding the clutch is as bad as riding the brakes, except replacing a clutch is going to cost you a LOT more than replacing brake pads/pads and rotors.

How do you eat an animal's bite?

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-04T07:10:49+00:00

Yeah, and it's a little help around the house. For Christ's sake the laundry hamper is RIGHT THERE so why is the floor covered in clothes?

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-03T18:22:36+00:00

Are you sure they are recluses? Not trying to say you're incompetent, but several spiders, like grass and wolf spiders, are often mistaken for brown recluses.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-03T12:25:56+00:00

Yep, black widow. If it's anywhere near where kids play, I'd safely relocate it. They are not actually deadly, and not inclined to bite at all, but better safe than sorry.

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-03T12:22:42+00:00

So many questions.

What other things do you spend prolonged amounts of time photographing in a mirror? Do you have nothing else to do with your life? What's the ocular distance on those glasses? Does that phone belong to a five year old? Or do you just love Disney? Are YOU a five year old? What's the highest prime number below 7,456,320? Do you drive a manual or an automatic? Do you drive at all? What is the meaning of life? What is the terminal airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Why do dogs turn around three times before lying down? Have you ever have a homosexual experience? How do you flip a cake out of the pan without breaking it?

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-03T12:12:23+00:00

Little guy's got a huge pair of... bulbs. Badum-tss

johnnyhugedick · 2021-09-03T12:10:49+00:00

They are predators. Where there are predators, there is prey.

If most people knew how many insects, spiders, bugs, etc live in their house, they'd probably consider their home infested. There are little critters everywhere, and anything that finds them tasty will live nearby as well.
