I don’t know about elsewhere but the local Salish peoples would shear specially bred dogs with very light fur. Something like Samoyed fur, but more fine. They’re probably extinct now.

I wonder if the ecology is out of balance, leading to larger mosquito populations than people would have seen a few thousand years ago. If the bird and bat population were five times, ten times larger, or if the swamps were less foul from plants adapted to the area (instead of invasives), maybe that would have made the problem less severe.

That’s a lot worse than I thought it would be. Yikes. That’s a good reason to wear a few extra layers. And maybe some netting. And maybe acquire a flamethrower.

So that NFB short is an accurate description eh?

Thank goodness for distro repositories with somewhat-vetted software.

He also wrote the webcomic Casey & Andy, which holds up. Imo.

You have to wonder what this guy gets up to in private. Has anyone checked Grindr in his area?

Sometimes I’m like “This is the perfect and logical place to put this item, this is where the item can live from now on.” and then it’s gone.

Canada’s meth habit is simmering below the surface, and our friend keeps inviting us out to smoke with our ex. :(

Saving fuel, perhaps. Or maybe they used a solar cooker. Jerry rigged even. Boiling water is hard but heating it to fish-safe temperature would be much easier.

Holy shit, that really underlines it. So like a full city block. Down.

Stephen Miller? The migrant? Yeah, sounds good. I heard he crossed the Darien Gap by eating five toddlers as rations.

Yeah, probably not. And they have never asked for an updated deposit. Still. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BLINDS.

I just removed them and plan to play innocent if asked. It’s been 20 years. Unlikely they have pics.

Yeah, no kidding. I bought several so they’re usually nearby. If I chew on them, it’s game over, angry red swelling for a few days. I can usually hold off pong enough to get to the clippers. Usually.

Sure. That works preventatively. Once you have the peeling, best to clip and sanitize.

I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.

Dude kicks a bunch of rocks down a hill and complains that the avalanche isn’t going the way he wanted? Fuck him. He gets the metaphorical guillotine with the rest. Or maybe the literal one, if the avalanche goes hard enough.

That’s the trouble with revolution, you can’t predict the outcome. The fundamental flaw of accelerationism. Your side might come out on top, but it might not. Big ole reset button drenches everyone in blood.

Hugs, sweetie.

How is that different from martial law?
