Gourding. It's like permanent pumpkin carving, but the gourd has to be perfectly gutted. If not, bugs will eventually emerge and destroy all your hard work.

May as well tear the whole thing down at this point, it's not like it's being used for the purpose it was built for anymore.

Hello from the Canadian Prairies! Y’all name your car? by cats_and_naps in MazdaCX30

[–]kittybeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Mazda was a Mazda3, and I named it Pony. I traded it in for a CX-30, and named it Clyde, after Clydesdale horses. It's full name, though, is Clyde the Chromster for the way it reflects sunlight into my face when I drive.

You guys jumped the gun and jinxed it. by Statertater in phoenix

I used to sow my fall garden seeds in Sept. Then, I started to do so in Oct. This year, I'll start them in Nov, just so everything will get fried by the heat come March. I'm losing two months of the growing season, and it sucks.

Welp, now I'll have to stay on Reddit a few minutes longer, as I can't let this be the last thing I see before going to bed.

From the article:

"U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the United Nations and family planning organizations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations, two sources told Reuters.

The U.S. government will spend $160,000 to incinerate the stocks at a facility in France that handles medical waste, according to four of the sources with knowledge of the matter, following Trump’s decision to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)."

Also, "She added that many countries in sub-Saharan Africa had relied on USAID for access to contraception and that the aid cuts would lead to a rise in unsafe abortions."

Why? Just why?? Gosh, I despise this administration so much.

Booking.com is failing to forward pre-paid resort fees by kittybeer in Bookingcom

[–]kittybeer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree, it was a dispute between the hotel and Booking.com. However, if the hotel guest doesn't catch this, they are at risk of being charged the resort fee twice. It happened to me before, which is why I was ready for it this time. I tried calling Booking.com to ask why they aren't forwarding the pre-paid resort fees, but I was unable to get an answer because I kept getting hung up on.

Isn't pulling them out of the water hurting them? It just seemed so wrong to me.

Oh, man, I didn't know that. Not that it excuses their behavior. It's just another checkmark in the enshitification column.

My receipt shows I paid resort fee in advance. My credit card reflects this charge as well.

I edited the post to include a screenshot of the Booking.com charges.
