That’s fucking daunting. Imagine being too afraid to yell at someone who spiked your dinner with excruciatingly painful amounts of hot sauce because they might disappear your family and torture you to death.

while gruesomely mutilating political opponent “Let them eat Cheetos.”

Serious question, are the wasps as likely to get diarrhea eating that as I think they are, and will the hive reject them at the entrance if they’re doing the insect equivalent of shitting their pants the way hives do with drunks?

Very small, precision needle-nose pliers work as well, but there needs to at least be a very small part of the key-break to grab. If the key somehow snaps in a position that’s even slightly recessed, I’ve used a tootpick and tiny dab of superglue (not enough to spread and touch the lock itself - be careful lol).

Good on them, that little beauty got some AAA-grade care thanks to her birder neighbours, a lucky break for an exhausted bird.

Please tell your cat that I said ‘beep’ back. :3

I’m not on the inside track on this, but it may be for biometric cataloguing of persons denied entry, or even something so simple as testing for drugs, but couldn’t say 100% what U.S. immigration agents have been legally entitled entitled to since 9/11.

If anyone wants/needs a turn-based Fantasy/Strategy/RPG game in their life, take a look at Age of Wonders.

Cool, thanks for the info.

HERO!

Imagine the Pakistanis’ shock that such a shining scion of human greatness and integrity would run counter of the foundational principles for which the Nobel Peace Prize is supposed to stand. /s

It’s a funny sort of feeling, no? Giving someone valuable information that could help them sort out some minor/major issue IRL for free.

Last thing was one of the ones I have the opportunity to do most. No words necessary, just a knock on the glass and gesticulation.

Some chick was standing outside of the bus shelter at which I’d just arrived, and I saw her Pikachu backpack with tiny unknown weeaboo characters hanging from the zipper’s pull-tabs hanging low. She’d been walking around with it open, something that’s happened to me before for hours on end without anyone telling me. Couldn’t figure out why I’d knocked on the glass to get her attention until I pointed at the backpack full open, and mimicking a zip-unzip motion with my hands. She clued in and closed it, easy peasy, no valuables lost.

I know that there are knock-offs, and other cheap facsimiles out there. In fact, I can remember a specific style of plastic drinking glass that copied that pattern exactly in the early 90’s, although I only saw them a few times. Thinking about it, I couldn’t really tell the difference between the genuine article anymore than I could with most crystalware unless it were really obvious like the cheap pinwheel dishes/glasses.

Odd, I had no idea. I’ve seen glasses with this exact patterning a few times at second-hand stores over the years but passed them over.

Feel free to yoink, that’s how I got it.

RIP Mr. Yulin. I’ll be looking for him when I’m watching 80’s & 90’s TV and movies, he was a regular fixture in a pretty broad range of shows.

Absolutely, the medical establishment has done away with “Juvenile diabetes” as well, because of the rare but statistically significant number of people getting T1D after their 18th birthday (mid 20’s or even 30’s occasionally). The need for specificity in medicine can’t be ignored, they live for it.

Slow your roll, she may be a hypocritical piece of shit, but there’s no sense in jumping out of the frying pan and into eugenics.
