We used to call them "spider balls" because they were rumored to keep spiders away but that is false. I've never heard horse apples but Osage Orange is also common in my area

No, but we'll stop propping up both sides and it will be able to reach some sort of natural conclusion.

As someone who grew up with horses, in most cases the hole is dug first with a ramp, the horse is walked into the hole, then it's euthanized.

There won't be peace in the middle east until we've moved beyond petroleum.
When there's no need for oil the global superpowers won't need to play the regional powers against each other to take advantage of the chaos for profit anymore.

Let's see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
I'm sure this will be fine and the virus won't mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

Well, for one, I voted against the orange piece of shit who wanted to expand the genocide further than it already is.

Yeah, it's the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it's more of a "here be hillbillies" thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.

Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing

I'm lucky enough to be a state employee so I'll still have OPERS when Social Security is annihilated next year, but I'm not sure that'll be enough.

You forgot "Yinz"

The "money" gesture, rub your thumb on your two fore fingers

 

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

 

Anyone seen this before?

 
 
 

If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language.
Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains.
We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc.
Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?

 

Edit: I mean to say just a significant amount, not a majority. That's obviously porn.

 

I've been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I've always download and re-shared by seeding.
But a few months ago I couldn't find a set of audiobooks I'd been looking for with the original narrators from the 90s.
I finally found a set on CD on eBay and coverted those to mp3 and loaded them on my phone, but it occurred to me that others might also be looking for a complete version of the series too and wanted to share that media.
Apologies if it's an obvious answer that I somehow missed.
