My bad, I made a wrong assumption and didn't realize you were quoting them. I'm sorry and shouldn't have assumed!

And Luca, Soul, Coco, Onward, Elemental, Turning Red, Brave, The Good Dinosaur, and a bunch of other movies that come to mind when people say Pixar hasn't come out with anything original.

I cook almost all of our meals at home. I use mainly whole ingredients and minimal hyper processed foods. Outside of tips or service fees associated with eating takeout or dining out, there are lots of non fast food options nearby that cost us less per meal than many of my go to meals. Quality produce (when you can find it) has become particularly expensive.

Even if that weren't the case, people that don't know how to cook as it is aren't going to be well versed in replacing more expensive ingredients with cheaper ones. These people are less likely to start using healthier, whole ingredients at home, and will instead opt for cheap, highly processed options like skillet noodle meals and frozen prepared foods.

This situation is no joke. I am honestly on edge about just how dire this could get.

He-yup.

That's fair, but we're actively living the consequences of not voting for harm reduction when we had the chance in 2024. I'm so fucking sick of this. We can't afford to ignore history or reality anymore.

I've visited Antiga, Barbados, Dominica, Nassau, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Tortolla. They're all quite different and offer unique opportunities.

Snorkeling, catamaran trips, and deep sea fishing will be fun in any of these places. Caribbean food is also delightful anywhere you go. Where specifically you want to go will depend on what you enjoy doing. Personally, I love to get out an explore nature, so Dominica, Puerto Rico, and St. Lucia have a lot of appeal to me.

Insects and other animals preserved in amber aren't uncommon finds in the mineral collecting community. You could get a great specimen for under a hundred dollars depending on where you're looking and when.

Don't let your dreams stay dreams!

Most well cared for dogs and cats are euthanized when they are at the natural end of their lifespans and no longer have a good quality of life. Bodies grow old and die. It doesn't matter how much money we invest in medical care, human or animal. At best it can buy a few more (often painful) months or years.

Euthanasia is most often chosen when life is no longer enjoyable for the patient. I think the moral question the OP is posing is why we offer this kind relief to companion animals and not have this option for ourselves.

Thank you! Bubblers were created and patented in Wisconsin, too, so I'm glad we are keeping the name alive.

Oh my gosh, this is so validating! A few different species of birds will flutter in front of the living room window when the feeders are empty to get my attention. They are smart little things!

I mean, no, but their forehead seems like the more ideal position for the instrument, right?
