I'm now fairly sure the wild cat I saw recently was a bobcat. There was some recent light snow and when I ran in that area again I saw what I'm fairly certain are bobcat tracks. 4 toed with a indent on the main pad at the top-center, no claws, about 2.5 inches long.

I also found someone saying that bobcats can have brown fur in fall to early winter and I found this video of bobcats playing with one having the same color fur I saw and a longer tail with different colored bit at the end of the tail.

One of the details that made me think it wasn't a bobcat was that the tail was not just a little stub like most of the images I found online. Also, I didn't notice spots. But mostly seeing it from the back, if it's coat was similar to the cat in the video, I wouldn't have immediately noticed spots.

That's crazy. Failing a drug test is probably not legal cause to evict you, and refusing to take the test almost certainly is not. Of course they can do a no-cause eviction if you don't have a lease.

Landlords can and do put all kinds of unenforceable clauses in leases, though. There's no incentive not to because some people will see that they've violated an unenforceable clause and simply move out assuming that it is legal.

How is that legal? Do you mean they can demand a drug test randomly?

It would be litigated when/if a prosecutor tried to bring charges against Trump for conduct that was self-pardoned

I'm not convinced he'll do any serious level of tariffs. Too much American business relies on China to risk getting into a massive trade war. I think he'll do some strategic tariffs to benefit a couple industries and be able to say he won the trade war.

Talking about tariffs is good for him politically, good for the economy(people and businesses are making purchases early in anticipation of tariffs), and will bring in lobbying money from various industries that want protection, but an actual trade war will be devastating to the American economy broadly. I don't think the ruling class will let him do it.

I thought a lot about this. I think most of the big buyers of this were the same shitcoin gamblers that buy everything else. It's mostly people who know everything in crypto is a scam, but think they can make some money by predicting what will be popular and timing their trades.

At least I hope nobody is taking financial advice from someone so briefly famous for something stupid.

Even if I had someone I could trust enough, I wouldn't tell them. It's not fair to burden someone with keeping that level of secret.

Out of gas,

Out of road,

Out of car,

I don't how I'm gonna go

I had a drink the other day

Opinions were like kittens,

I was giving them away

I had a drink the other day

I had a lot to say

And I said

Bump

Telling an "I shit my pants" story is weirdly endearing to me. It's showing vulnerability about something that everyone has done.

We shouldn't feel shame about a bodily function we have no control over anyway.

It's pretty interesting that you were able to surprise it, cats are usually so alert to their surroundings. Maybe it was hunting, and just zeroed in on it's prey?

I was surprised by that too. I had turned around to head back when I encountered it, so I had passed that point 10-15 minutes before.

The occurred to me in that moment that I might have been the prey, but in retrospect I doubt it.

You're definitely right about the limits of my recollection. Even though I was trying to remember everything it happened fast and my cognition is always a little wonky when I'm running.

It's funny to me that raw milk was mainly a thing for rich liberals until COVID happened. Then right wingers absolute hatred for public health measures bled over into all the dangerous health quakery.

California should pass a law banning arsenic in cheeseburgers.
