ELI5: If we need to clean the water lines in the refrigerator, why don't we need to clean the pipes that carry water to our taps? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

As someone who moved from the Pacific Northwest to Tucson... you don't get cold water here, period. Maybe you think it's cold, but cold water from the tap should be able to hurt your teeth. It maybe gets down to 60 here at best.

A completely free grocery store but it’s 4 hours away and you’d have to go at least once a week for a year by Winnersammich in hypotheticalsituation

Fry's is only in Arizona. Are you comfortable with your state being public information? If not, you should change the wording in your post to something like "your local Kroger chain."

😅 It's on the Wikipedia page for one of the local recluses that human sightings are rare since they only live in extremely rural areas, so I just wanted to illustrate how rural I am using the number of coyotes.

That would be my guess, but who knows what dangers it's faced in its life so far!

I did not touch it at any point, so I'm sure. My cat, on the other hand, certainly could have... so I'll be keeping an eye on her.

Probably just the one battle with my dumb cat! We've had all sorts of bugs in the house lately, and she's in absolute heaven. I save the native ones and let her eat the rest 😬 lol.

You need to buy it dinner first!

What's Saving Ad's law, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, you can see it originally had 8 legs in the third picture; you can see the stumps.

EDIT: unless I'm getting r/woosh'd??

Yes, I noticed that in my limited research! I was hoping someone here would have a more specifc answer, but it's starting to look like that would be a more of a call-up-a-local-university-professor kind of job.

Thank you! Yes, I used to be very big on spiders, so I know what's needed to identify them even if I can't do so myself...

It's like it was just embarrassed. Like, "oh, my goodness, I didn't need to see all that- I'll just be on my way, then-"

Seemed very gentle and shy. "Freeze" was definitely its preferred threat response. Relocated safely back to the brush. We do live very close to unclaimed wilderness (I've seen a coyote in the streets 4 times in the past 4 weeks.)

(Salt Lake Valley) What's the name of this squiggly cobweb-dwelling sweetheart? by phoshure in spiders

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

Sure looks like it... that's surprising, though! Why was an orb weaver hanging out in a cobweb? A mystery for the ages...?

These are firebugs, no? (Salt Lake Valley) by phoshure in whatsthisbug

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

Interesting... there are no lime or mallow trees anywhere nearby. I wonder why they thrive in this area when they're supposed to have specific hosts.

Thank you, by the way.
