I run on a trail that has an osprey nesting platform. When I get near one of the parents takes off and makes warning sounds. Yesterday they weren't there, so I think they've migrated a little early.
Interesting fact about osprey: Juveniles don't migrate with their parents. They make their first migration alone, thousands of miles to a place they've never been. They establish a permanent winter home and then return to the area of their birth the next spring.
I am so ready for local apples. Supermarket apples have been garbage lately. Even fujis, which are usually consistently mid, have been mealy trash.
I don't understand how someone can shit their pants and it be any thicker than milkshake consistency. I feel like I could hold back a poo that was clumpy forever.
Seymour Hersh's story about the killing of Osama Bin Laden said that was actually a rushed lie to cover up the fact that Pakistani intelligence had Bin Laden in a safehouse for months before the raid. According to the story, they actually got the DNA from a doctor that was treating Bin Laden, which honestly makes more sense to me.
The reason they had to rush to invent a lie about how they knew he was there was that they had intended to take him to the desert and say he was hit in a drone strike, and that they recovered his DNA afterward. But then they crashed a helicopter during the raid and had to make up a story that preserved the lie and the deal worked out with Pakistani intelligence.
It's a good read: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n10/seymour-m.-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden
I have a nostalgic love of on-cor Salisbury steak, but I haven't had it for years.
4 times a day. I used to do 2x but found it harder to taper, so I divided the same dose out into 4. Last time I got completely off it I was doing 6 tiny doses a day at the end.
In my experience how long the effects last is affected by how finely ground the Kratom is. I've had very fine powder that gives a more intense but shorter lasting effect, and gritty powder that lasts 8+ hours.
My old internet provider had a function on their website that would do something to fix your Internet connection from their end. I lost internet one day and went to use it, but they replaced the mobile version of their website with a page telling me to download the app. Fine, I'll download the app, which is clearly just a wrapper for the website. But for some reason you can't access that function through the app.
There was a Balenciaga ad that had some paper with text visible. The text was from the SCOTUS ruling that said virtual CP was not CP under the law.They sued the producer of the ad, claiming it was them that provided the prop.
Weird as hell, but I'm not sure it means anything.
You can be a monopoly without being an illegal monopoly. Monopoly is when one company has an outsized market share, an illegal monopoly is when they use that market share to stifle competition.
I feel your pain. I don't do minimalist shoes, but I have the same issue with Brooks and Salomon, It seems like they can't go very long without changing or outright eliminating models.
I've had luck searching on Google shopping to find closeouts, as long as the change wasn't too long ago. It's usually a local or regional sporting goods store that is stuck with old stock and selling it off online.
Nobody sells their car in reaction to a catalytic converter theft. They just get more reactionary politics when it comes to crime, and become more likely to shoot a stranger that wanders into their yard.
I saw a YouTube video where someone who lives next to a covered bridge clipped together every truck that ignored the clearance signs and damaged the bridge. The description said there's a $5k fine for that.
The comments were full of, "This is a scam! They need to fix that bridge". Americans are so broken that personal freedom is now the right to destroy historic bridges without consequences.
