  Cats also have them. You sometimes see them in the corner of their eye, or partially covering their eyes when they’ve just woken up or are sick or something. They are sort of a translucent milky white.

  It’s because they evolved in desert conditions, from what I’ve read. They can see well enough through them but it protects against sand and stuff.

  I’ve genuinely never understood how people can stand chocolate and fruit together. Or fruit and coffee for that matter. Chocolate and coffee taste kinda similar to me though so those mix well…

  But fruit with either is just super nasty to me.

  All that said, the best chocolate I’ve ever had was some imported thing that tasted vaguely of raspberry, but wasn’t actually supposed to. It was just chocolate that got stored with other candies.

  I’m imagining a t-Rex with a high capacity O2 tank strapped to its back, and a little tiny human size oxygen mask covering like a single nostril…

  But oh no! The O2 is low and it needs to change the tank, but the itty bitty rexy arms can’t reach so it’s just spinning in circles trying to get the strap off. It’s getting dizzy now from a lack of oxygen and, well, spinning.

  Thanks for that giggle :)

  I… don’t think that’s insulation…

  It’s a really shit picture but I’m pretty sure that’s a massive bee or wasp hive…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plump prophet proved perfectly precise⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm. Not squeamish per se, but not interested in putting things into any holes (other than food in mouth, and even that’s a pretty weak drive) and I’m definitely not passing on my shit genes, so.

  Instructions extremely unclear…

  Died.

  Shit this one doesn’t even work for that does it?

  Clay? It’s probably newspaper, tape, and stockings. All his cosplays are low cost.

  I just love how pleased she looks in the last pic 😊

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my go-to as well, never fails. Because a lot of the things people want me to do for them (especially at work in public-facing job) are legitimately things I won’t or don’t want to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your experience/statistic there is very different from my experience. It definitely depends where you are and how high-end the place is.

  Place I work now, most tips are cash, by a substantial margin. Even when paying with card about half of our customers tip cash, and most transactions at this place are cash anyway. Places I worked previously were like a 50/50 split if people paid more often with cash or card, and again about a quarter of people paying card still tip cash.

  Maybe because this is a low cost of living area, and everyone knows moving claims cash tips, maybe because it’s all small town stuff, idk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people who work the service industry don’t claim cash tips, but credit tips are required to be claimed due to the whole being electronic and traceable thing.

  If, as a service person, most or all tips are in cash, you just claim whatever brings you to minimum wage for that pay period.

  This is obviously heavily dependent upon where you work - some places want you to claim all tips (but you still don’t claim cash usually) others, especially if you make above min wage like most bartenders, don’t care.

  However, if you don’t claim those tips you can’t use that as income when taking out loans and applying for housing and whatever else. So it’s fucks people over pretty regularly.

  Hmm…

  Can any of this be weaponized to protect a property?

  Can any wireless be…? Ideally without frying anything locally like an EMP… “you mean an emp? No, and EMP!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Carrier pidgins make an excellent bandwidth benchmark though.

  Sneaker networks (flash drives stores in sneakers) are still some of the highest bandwidth out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know anything about it, so hopefully someone else has more experience, but I found this, so I assume the answer is yes.

  Honestly there’s a several weird pseudo-deep lyrics so… maybe but probably not on that one.

  Hmm, would you consider this an iron overdose instead?

  Requires medical attention and all ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checking in⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha I had the same experience learning Russian. It’s so hard to find simple stuff like dick and Jane, but in another language.

  Interestingly, comic books, especially those which have been translated into multiple languages (marvel, dc, etc) are almost easier. They usually have short, less-complicated sentences, and the context is pictorial. Plus it’s not boring af to read, which is ultra-helpful. Maybe that’s why people like manga and anime so much…? Idk.
