Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas

Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.

And I'm ot running a brothel in my hourly motel outside of town. People rent the room for 2 hours, and it's none of my business what happens between them and the housekeeper

No, this is about the Empire State Building. The Chrysler building is completely different.

Carnegie was big on that. He would pour millions into public works projects like libraries, schools, and performance halls. At the same time he would send auditors to figure out the average cost of living around his steel mills and intentionally pay employees about 80% of that just to keep them dependent on him.

All corporations are evil. All billionaires are bastards.

I rememeber people talking about 2 Girls 1 cup im the gym locker in middle school. 3 guys one hammer was a straight up sniff film that made the rounds of all the forums back in 2009. It reached a point where Lemon Party was mild enough to be referenced on a TV show.

Metric would be perfect if 10 wasn't such a dog shit number to base our counting off of. Sure it works for dividing things in half, but how often do you need to break something down into fifths? Halves, thirds, and quarters are 90% of typical division people do, with tenths being most of the rest since 10 is that only number that our base system actually works with.

1942 is the middle of WW2. 1937 in Central Europe is not somewhere i want live, because things are about to go sideways.

If the local county records get broken into and every property deed gets stolen, the theif doesn't have ownership of every property in the county. Anything that represents physical ownership of an item is way more secure with a physical paper trial than a digital one. I understand that cryptocurrencies are different than cryptography, but a physical copy of a record i own and an official copy that a relevant party owns, such as a local government, hospital, or bank will always be more secure than digital tokens of ownership.

It's such a steep [word] for 20 minutes of action.

So do authorized notaries and paper trails for physical documents. Everyone who had a wallet hacked that lost NFTs or currencies can tell you that crypto cant protect your assets.

You're gonna have a real blast in 5 years

 
 
 

Finally got everyone to the vet today. Both girls were perfect and everyone there loved them. Absolutely no fussing, even when they got theor FVRCP vaccines. Now everyone is sleeping off the excitement. This is the first time i think i have ever seen them sleep in the condo at the same time

 

I do weekly baking challenges and decided to do Cincinnati chili since it's not a true regional delicacy unkess people argue about it anytime it is brought up. My friends have lived here in NW Ohio for 3 years and mever tried Skyline, so i brought it over to them. I forgot the oyster crackers, and they were hesitant to put the full mountain of cheese, but over all they enjoyed it.

That's her absolute favorite toy, so it stays inside the cat condo on my dresser. Both kitties like to nap up there, but only Nini ever goes in to grab her mouse. And yes, the mouse is named Merlin lol.

 
 

Someone just walked into the restaurant i work at, dumped this soaking wet kitten in the lobby, and left without saying a word. I just got a kitten this month, so i took her home with me since i have kitten supplies and everyone else at work has too many pets.

She cried the whole ride home, and my kitten (13 weeks old), Niniane was not happy about the new cat. I took the stray into the bathroom and fed her. Afterwards i weighed her and she wasn't even 2lbs. She was absolutely filthy, so i gave her a quick bath without much struggle.

I dried her off and groomed her with the slicker brush and then let Niniane into the bathroom so they could socialize a bit. Nini was curious, but very standoffish and mostly just hissed while the stray just wanted to climb into my lap. I put a cat hammock, scratching post, and some toys in the bathroom (none of which Nini uses) and have locked the stray in there until i know she is litter trained. Currently she is jist sleeping in the hammock, so i think I'll leave her there for the night and try to socialize the kittens some more tomorrow.

Edit: i think i am gonna call her Boudica. It's much better than "the stray". She just peed in the litter box and even buried it, so that's a massive step. Unfortunately I'm still gonna keep her in in the bathroom for the next few days, but I'm so glad she used the litter box.

 
 
 

Absolutely devastating story. Gaudreau was supposed to be in his sister's wedding today. Instead, he and his brother were stuck by a drunk driver while cycling last night.
