There are national forests next to it and native reservations nearby and a more difficult path to Canada, so you would expect some of the males to roam out. That’s only really a problem if they’re isolated.

In theory if you didn’t have heating you could get a cheap used machine and run it and the revenue might cover the cost of heating and you get a free to run space heater.

- Comment on Anon studies Buddhism 1 week ago:
Plain Buddhism was kind of a downer so they made stuff like pure land buddhism that is more of a fun afterlife version instead of hardcore OG Buddha which is like kill yourself and stop existing forever because the world is just an eternal cycle of pain and reincarnation into more pain forever.

The hungry tiger jataka is my favorite
"One day, the Bodhisattva and one of his disciples decided to take a stroll in the forest nearby. This had become a regular practice. They often went for strolls.
While they were walking, the Bodhisattva notices something extremely terrifying. He saw a tigress, which looked weak and hungry. The tigress was about to devour her own cubs. Now, that moved the Bodhisattva’s heart. He did not want the poor animal to suffer the guilt of eating her own cubs. So, he came up with an idea.
He sent his disciple back to do something. The Bodhisattva had decided that he would offer himself as food to the starving tigress. He simply could not let her eat her cubs. And he knew if his disciple had seen this, he would definitely stop the Bodhisattva from offering himself. You may also like to read, The Tiger And The Golden Bangle.
After the disciple is gone, the Bodhisattva approached the tigress. With the utmost compassion in his heart and no malice, he let the tigress devour him. The tigress ate him and fed the cubs as well. After a while, the disciple returned. When he saw the Bodhisattva’s blood stained clothes, he realized what had happened.
He knew the Bodhisattva well. So, he knew the hermit had offered himself to save the tigress. He went back and told his fellow disciples of the Bodhisattva’s sacrifice out of love and compassion. "

Artificially plant and water the trees. Gather a lot or pile of branches for dead wood, one of the defining parts of an old growth forest.

It’s more about a minimum of weight or pressure that affects it. So the higher the pressure the more likely it is to flex the road where a small vehicle with light pressure might not make it flex at all. The heavier it is the more the weight will flex the subsurface and cause more damage.
forbes.com/…/how-roads-fail-and-why-theyre-set-to…
“To give you an example of that impact, let’s do a quick calculation. Here in New Zealand, the heaviest vehicle allowed on (some of) our roads is the 50MAX truck. It has nine axles and a total weight of 50 tonnes, so the load-per-axle is 5.55 tonnes. The best-selling car in NZ in 2022 was the Mitsubishi Outlander. It weighs 1.76 tonnes, so its load-per axle is 0.88 tonnes. The fourth-power law says that to calculate the relative stress that these two vehicles apply to a road, you take the ratio of their loads-per-axle and raise the result to the fourth power. In this case, (5.55 / 0.88)4 = 1582. In practical terms, it means that a 50MAX truck applies as much stress to a road as 1,582 cars (or quite literally billions of bicycles)”

Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers

Horses are only fast because of the shape of their four long legs. You can’t just give someone a carrot and long ears and expect them to be a horse. That just makes them a cat rabbit.

Yeah, but there are a lot of neglected emaciated horses from people that shouldn’t have horses.

There were houses in the US that were only 25k just before the great recession. Not everywhere certainly, small houses in major cities, we used to have cheap houses not too long ago. It was only after COVID that all the houses went up to a national minimum because of WFH and other things.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 5 weeks ago:
The sad part is that there isn’t any real answer, like a lot of fundamental things in science we don’t really know how it works and won’t for decades. My personal theory is more along the lines of the whole tearing muscles concept is crap and exercise is basically just a signal for your body to make more muscle and doesn’t directly cause anything.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 5 weeks ago:
That’s not a biochemist, memorizing the amino acids is literally biochem 1 on college. Most people with a biology undergrad take that.
Being a biochemist is more about understanding the whole system of how proteins interact, and not really about memorization of any specific protein.

It’d be fine if it was limited to like 1-5 dollars per account monthly with a yearly maximum. Not a 100 dollars at a time.

It’s mostly to try and say that ugly people aren’t bad people, because there’s a natural human instinct to be drawn to pretty people with symmetrical faces. That’s why it’s a simple message for children. As OP said, with experience you learn more and you can draw your own conclusions.

The bad photos are just because of the wiki license requirements, it’s why there are a lot of military photos on Wikipedia because they’re all public domain by default.

Yeah, if you are comparing the house you bought in 1980 for 10k dollars and say you pay 5k in tax every three years, using 2025 dollars then that is totally useless as a statement.

The premise was removing your mask after the election, so in that case the 25th would be the appropriate solution. But that’s only for extreme cases because you need the entire cabinet to agree.

If they’re in a group with other humans. If you grow up without language like child raised by wolves then you just miss out on language completely and it’s very hard to impossible to learn later once your special infant brain language tool is gone.

Commonly artistic items of game sets would be made for largely show purposes and rarely or never used. So it wouldn’t be surprising if it was made and then sealed in a box for a funeral wealthy collection or storage. We still do that with fancy metal dice that most people will never roll.

Acetone will work if nothing else works, but it’s just as likely to strip the underlaying paint off. You can mostly use alcohol to clean it and apply some acetone just on the actual stain with a qtip, that makes it less likely to be noticeable.
