I am very bothered that the stock photo is someone smelling tulips, which have no smell.

Redfin has been doing this for a while. It’s like “Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! …oh… 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years… but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!”

It’s $100 minimum to get anything delivered from the hardware store a mile from my house. It’s $20 rent a pickup from U-haul for their 4 hour minimum. I do that maybe 4X per year. I drive a little electric car now, but when I had a Prius V (station wagon one) with the seats folded down I could fit as much in there as a light duty pickup.

I’m assuming it’s the person/bot that downvotes every comment in Cats. I know the admins can see votes, it would be interesting if they were outed some day.

Crumbs does not enjoy treadmill time.

For me he is giving Batard energy.

Mine had a fungal infection that caused congestion. The blood test is pricey but worth it to catch it early.

Why all the downvotes? I guess “twilight zones” is a little click baity, but it’s just an article about the little understood geology of Earth’s lower mantle. It’s neat, I think.

That’s really neat, thanks for explaining!

OH, I get it. The pick up price is the purchase price. That’s pretty clever. Does that mean the trash collectors have to pick every bag up by hand and glance at the contents? How many categories of trash/bag are there?

Interesting! Does the curbside program bill you by weight as well? That sounds labor intensive, compared to here where you just rent the $small, $$medium or $$$large bin and pay quarterly regardless of use. And recycling and composting are free.

That is neat! But since it charges you to put things in, wouldn’t that encourage people to just throw their food in the trash? Or is that discouraged somehow?

The county I live in (Northern California) requires that household food waste go into the curbside compost bin, or home compost. They do random checks to make sure you haven’t put any food in the landfill bin and you can get a fine.

It gets turned into compost for landscaping, along with the yard waste, not food though.

John Scalzi’s got you covered:

A Malaysian restaurant I used to go to always served crispy deep fried parsley as a garnish. It was very good, but I don’t think it would keep well.

Yeast for healthy skin, to (possibly but probably not) help with fleas and it’s tasty and makes the collagen mush enticing. Collagen for her old lady joints. I started giving it to her when I noticed her losing flexibility in her knees. Can’t give one a treat and not the other, so they both get it. I don’t know if it’s helping, but they like it.

What do you want to do today, Max?

TRY TO GET IN TO THE LIBRARY!! 😼

The fat one gets only wet (vet’s orders, she’s semi feral and she hunts rodents and may have a second family who feeds her) and the elderly underweight one gets all the wet food she’ll eat, then is offered dry food as a treat. She prefers dry, so she’ll have some even though she’s not hungry.

They both get a slurry of nutritional yeast and hydrolized collagen powder in water for dessert.
