This is one of about a dozen reasons why we stopped using the goats.

Chances are they don't know and won't care.

A former neighbor had no issues uprooting his japanese maple so he could fit a row of small arborvitae.

My previous house use to have three, but the new owners removed two of them and replaced them with rock gardens.

I would pet the goats

"You're gunna break it!"

Reasons we got rid of the goats:

  • They like to escape
  • They cost around 30-50k a year to clear stormwater facilities
  • They crap in said facilities which is bad for them
  • They can die at random and boy did the neighbors not like that
  • The remote mower you can get for 40K lasts for years and can go at steeper angles than the goats
  • Getting them where they need to be can be a chore
  • The prices keep going up.
  • They got out again
  • They eat everything even the stuff you kind of want to stay there for filtering
  • They damage the fencing and facilities more than machines do
  • Don't look into their demon eyes
  • People want to pet the goats and they belong to someone else oh god why are they out again

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
Honestly I wish I knew someone who would let me borrow their goats for a week or two to clean my yard up. I don't give a drat about anything in my backyard and since my wife went back to work we have not been keeping it up. It'd be great to have some goats just loving destroy all the plant life back there.

My retirement plan (ahahahahahahahha) is to buy a breeding stock of those large goats and start breeding them for size and horn size.

Pygmy and fainting goats are cool but in general they are huge assholes. Pygmy goats are pretty manageable though.

preliminary primary results are up, decent news overall i think:
- herbold with almost 50% in d1 (followed by tavel)
- morales with a big lead in d2 (and ari hoffman a pretty distant 3rd)
- kshama in 1st (egan orion 2nd, followed by murakami, and then surprisingly to me dewolf)
- pedersen up big in d4 (shaun scott comfortably in 2nd!)
- juarez and sattler in d5
- least-bad d6 candidate dan strauss in 1st (followed heidi wills, mustache meme cop sergio garcia)
- lewis and pugel far ahead of everyone else in d7

Daaaaaaaamn, DeWolf got stomped.

I seriously considered voting for Hoffman, just for the thought that he'd have a much worse chance at beating Morales than Solomon would, and I loving hate pigs. The flip side of that, though, is what if Hoffman were to actually win?

I think this is gonna be a poo poo-show for the progressives in the general, though. I sure as gently caress hope not, but there are a lot of forces pushing to make it happen.

Was DeWolf any good? I assumed he was trash based on the pro corporate dogwhistles in his leaflets and the fact that he was running against Kshama.

quote:


One person reported suffering minor burns, saying, “They were like bullets. My shirt was on fire.”

The debris apparently came from the jetliner's left engine, a Rolls-Royce Trent 1000, a model that has been plagued with problems.

A spokeswoman for Norwegian said simply that there had been “indications of a technical failure”, but added that the aircraft landed safely.

That's more likely a Rolls Royce issue, not a Boeing issue.

Sounds like they've known its been an issue for a while so you'd think Boeing would step up and say "hey lets just use the GE engines"

I interact with them on the regular (boeing) and this kinda poo poo is just systemic.

Again, why is this on Boeing and not EASA? Why not blame Norwegian for not swapping out otherwise approved engines, it's trivial on a 787.

Very much the latter. I guess you can trade stuff for $$ but if Niantic finds out, it's one of the few things they will actually ban you for.
