lol I smoked my senior year of high school and like for five years after that. Totally chainsmoked, like a carton a week of Lucky Strikes (which were cool 'cause they were mentioned in a Drivin' N' Cryin' lyric). And somehow I figured that 'cause I'd smoke outside, my folks never knew. I must've reeked of smoke constantly. (when I quit, I stopped getting bronchitis every winter :iiam:)

I don't like squirrels generally, and I'm not going to reward them for exploiting the bird welfare system :mad:

Do that thing where you add an additional obstacle every couple of days so you get them trained to run a ridiculously long course:

boring preachy chat to be ignored: OK, the scary thing with smoking or not exercising or eating like poo poo is not that you lived life to the fullest and then just suddenly keel over looking beautiful, it's that life starts to gradually suck more and more until you're that incapacitated old lady on the rascal with the oxygen tank. If it happens to me, I wanna be able to say, it's not 'cause I hosed up anything, it was just fate. Schmaltzy video I thought was cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo6QNU8kHxI

Yeah that's like painting 101. It's a lot easier to go from light to dark than it is dark to light. So you always start with the lighter colors (and pretty much everything is lighter than black sooo yeah).

Never painted miniatures, but I've painted pictures and a few pieces of furniture.

I like the one around 6:30 who figured it out (for a little while). I got my dad one of those birdfeeders that spins around when it senses too much weight and flings the squirrel off, but it ruined his "yelling at squirrels" time, so he didn't use it (which I was happy about).

That's the purpose of "heat" in stuff like peppers: to keep stupid mammals from eating it so the birds can eat them instead and fly around dispersing the seeds. I don't know if it's all birds though, might want to check on that beforehand. :v:

So, fill my bird feeder with buffalo wings?

Squirrels are horrible plague carrying beasties that are also a vegetable gardener's nightmare. Somehow they get a pass because people think they're cute, but wait til you have them nesting in your attic.

Birds are awesome and eat pests. Except magpies, who are horrible jerks that chase away everything else and sit on fences taunting your dog.

The loving squirrels sit on my fence and taunt my dogs. They chitter and crawl down the fence juuuust out of jumping reach and flick their tails in my dogs faces until they're drat near rabid and then they run away.

Yeah they sound great:

quote:

New World vultures often vomit when threatened or approached. Contrary to some accounts, they don't 'projectile vomit' on their attacker as a deliberate defense, but it does lighten their stomach load to make take-off easier, and the vomited meal residue may distract a predator, allowing the bird to escape. New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.

Their stomach acid is also incredibly strong to deal with bacteria so there's that too. Just puking and peeing everywhere. :stonklol:

If you kill in defense, you are protecting yourself. If you kill for revenge, you are a nemesis. If you kill for pleasure, you are a sociopath.

If you kill for power, you are a tyrant. If you kill a tyrant it depends on what you do next that will determine your outcome.
