There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • I bet that's why poisoning was so big before guns. Like who has the time to learn archery.

  • I wonder if there's a Mrs. United Health Care CEO Killer.

    How embarrassing

  • Brian Thompson is such a nothing name, I was wondering who it was by the time I got to your comment.

  • I think something had to die for my turkey sandwich, and I would kill again for another.

  • What's with the downvotes, guys? This is food porn, and while it may not be everyone's cup of tea - some people are into scat.

  • This is the best thing I've read today.

  • People see men fondling a stature: "Hah! What a hilarious pervert." People see a woman stradling a statue: "She must want children."

  • Knowing myself, I wouldn't put it past me.

  • Beautifully phrased. Make science about science again, not about flash in the pan personalities.

  • I'm a Canadian and I know exactly where that is. Not many people know about Other Vancouver.

  • In all likelihood, this is the work of man. Conventional wisdom tells us that deer can not put on clothing, no matter how simple the design. And yet, let me tell you about deer.

    Not long ago I moved to a small town nestled in lake country. My first week here I ran into a bear as one might run into a neighbour in line at the grocery store, both of us picking up some berries from nature's free shop. Foxes, wolves and otters are common sightings, too, but none of them so bold as the deer.

    A deer can jump a six foot fence like a tissue floating on wind, so when I decided to garden, I caged the whole thing up. I look left and I look right, and then I open the wood and wire door to check on my pumpkins to an audible snort, deer just behind me, waiting to get at my peas.

    A deer figured out the gate to the deck and ate all my tomatoes. I chased after one, trying to help, because it got the whole tomato cage stuck on it's head like an avant-garde muzzle, it wore it for a week. A deer begged my friend for her wendy's fries and ate them from her hand, we posted a picture and three people said "Oh yeah, that's Bernie." A deer broke my plastic garden chair by trying to sleep in it. Just today, I was scattering salt and sand over the walkway when a deer pranced over and stuck it's whole head in the scoop/shaker thing while I still held it.

    I don't encourage the deer, I don't feed them or start conversations, but to them we're all one weird tribe. They bring their kids to the yard in the morning to hang out, sometimes waiting by the door for me to come outside with my coffee. Sometimes they have neon flagging tape or chicken wire stuck in their antlers, and they won't let me take it out. Sometimes they have orphaned mits in their mouths, I don't know where from, and they throw them at each other in a game I don't understand.

    I'm not saying a deer could put on a vest, no, but it was probably their idea.

  • I am for regulation of e-bikes

    BUT

    One day my back break felt loose on the trip home. I was taking 'er easy until a car sped passed me on a residential street going downhill. The speed sensor got kicked askew by a bush or something, right then, and when the computer can't tell your speed it locks into second gear. I was in first, so I pedalled, felt the motor kick in a little too hard and then braked because of the car that swerved in front of me, back brake didn't pull as hard as the front and I went over the handlebars.

    The crash forced the brake into the throttle so the bike spun out over the road.

    It was a good quality bike too, not some wal-mart model.

    I phased out for a few. There was a crowd, a few had their phones out to call 911, I told them not too. Someone said "I've never seen an e-bike do that." I saw the bike spinning out, rolled over and caught it to take the brake off the throttle.

    I had a twisted ankle and a few scrapes but was otherwise okay. E-mailed the company about it, said they were hogtied by regulations. I got an engineer buddy to "fix" the bike so it wouldn't happen again.

    Point is, having control of your vehicle and knowing it'll work intuitively is safer than limits that are only meant to work in ideal conditions. Regulate the speed we go and not the speed we could potentially go. And wear a fucking helmet.

  • Easier in winter if you have good survival skills. There are cabins that sit empty most of the year, especially since a lot of people got them to work remote and then had to return to apartments in the city. Not suggesting anyone should illegally cross the border to steal a cabin, but if you do, send us updates.

  • People can do multiple things. Like post and organize mutual aid. Or post and engage in activism. Or write a comment and think.

  • I almost listed a few of his activism and fundraising initiatives, but then I thought: If this person doesn't think a nearly 90 year old gay man, who survived an internment camp, has seen some shit and has some wisdom to share, I probably won't be the one to open their eyes.

  • congrats on finally reading the wikipedia page.

  • Huh both those articles confirm what I said and say the claim might be a prank. I don't know what this has to do with being wrong about where vinegar comes from.
