I didn't know wasps did either until I bought a plant for my garden that is primarily pollinated by wasps. They were as chill as any other pollinator, not at all what I expected.

What was their explanation?

Anyone who lets their dog bark outside for 10+ continuous minutes (except in case of emergency) loses dog privileges for a year. One year added for every five minutes over 10.

ShotSpotter installs can be repurposed to locate homes of negligent owners who are annoying the entire neighborhood by letting their dogs bark unmitigated.

Also from the BBC article posted in this thread "The court on Thursday ruled that "boneless wing" refers to "cooking style" and is not to be taken literally."

No... I was just in the pool...

And mostly scripted ads at that? I never really watch them either, but they don't feel like the spontaneous conversations they appear to be, just scripted ads and rehearsed bits

Thanks for the tip, here's another attempt uploading as you suggested:

This was the first spider like this I've noticed in my garden, but it was while I was picking berries in July. I'll watch the blooms next year. From your other comment I did see a crab spider in my parents garden earlier in the spring, the legs do look similar *Edited with more into

I had a similar white spider between the leaves in my raspberries eating a fly, but it was somehow holding the leaves together, preventing me from getting a better look without disturbing it's meal. Seems like I can't add an image to the comment tho

Just the token light colored jacket guy every friend group needs

The person who actually spotted and photographed the basking shark is only referred to in the article as "Gallant's wife." She's never named.

That's what I thought. My Christian parents went from anti-Hillary voters in 2016 to pro-Trump voters in 2020.

How many plastic bags did that take?

Those road barriers were planned with such precision

I do both freelance graphic design and historic window restoration on the side. I did them both before my current full time design job, and do them in my spare time. I'm lucky that my current job considers 32 hours full time, so I have Fridays to do side work.

And jolly

I've been meaning to create a blooming calendar for my garden, your method might be the motivation I need

Is this a kid Rock joke?

Here in Detroit, Stellantis just asked for their factory to be allowed to pollute more, despite neighbors pushing back at how much they already pollute.

I highly recommend the book The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs by Tristan Gooley. It's far more applicable for the roaming in nature possibilities in the UK than where I am in the US.

And nearly all states have pay-to-stay policies that deplete their resources for securing housing when they are released

Are you publicly admitting to not filling out your Daily Ration and Nutrient Survey? I'd delete this

Is this Escher's secret sign home?

The novel Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu is a neat story about a self-described "generic Asian man" who is stuck in the "background Oriental male" role while aspiring to be the "kung fu guy"

For some flavors of Christianity they're excited for those — necessary steps in the Armageddon death cult

Graduated college in 2007, they were required by some of my graphic design professors

At a more northern latitude than part of Canada. Detroit is directly north of part of Canada

I've started using it and I'm north of Canada ... In Detroit

I have a wool plaid cape I got from a woman's estate sale but it isn't necessarily gendered, though as a man I haven't been brave enough to wear it outside of the house yet except to a Burns supper where I got a lot of compliments. My coworkers are used to seeing me wear it on video throughout winter

Edit: after some googling it may be a cloak and not a cape since it is full length. I wear it as a sweater replacement

The cars are people?? BRB going to ask my person what their goals and destinations are, they might be different from mine and we need to have a serious heart to heart

Was Jesus Christ paranoid?

I'm 39 for a few more months and was hoping a complete transformation happened day one of being forty. Guess not.

Same happened with me developing a crush on my boss. When you fight it you make it a thing, I'm finding it better to not deny the attraction but more intentionally notice other parts of her and our dynamic to train my mind to focus on those things. Also reminding myself each time I day dream that that relationship isn't possible so think of something else. I'm almost a month into the process, results are promising
