I mean that's the end result.

If they don't get along then each one needs their own box/pen, which means they're fed and harvested separately, which makes it hella inefficient.

Yeah, the conditions are specific, but that's also true for Wasabi and truffles. The big problem with spiders has always been their canabalistic and solitary natures. Truffles and Wasabi don't kill eachother.

Also just because the biome is specific, doesn't mean it's necessary. Biggest issues are probably their immune system. Such isolated things are usually easily hit by fungus or bacteria.

Woah, could this actually turn spider silk farms viable?

Well, the rules are forcing them to run with Mamdani. Plenty of Democratic lawmakers do not like it. Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, a lot of democratic legislators in his own state are not endorsing him. A lot of them did endorse Cuomo, if they didn't this year, they have in the past, so to be suddenly mum and not even a feeble "I support him" is... odd at best.

There's also no word behind the scenes that any legislators are even attempting to get Cuomo to drop out after... how many years has the argument been that third parties split the democratic vote? Now you have a Democrat doing just that and no condemnation from any new York legislators that he's risking a republican victory. Not even a chant of "Blue no matter who" If bernie sanders had ran independent against Hillary, would Democratic leaders be this silent? Schumer would be furious and making press conferences condemning him. He doesn't do that to cuomo.

In the meantime, multiple sources have been pushing mayor Adams to step down from his own independent race. Both democratic and republican (and billionaire), presumably to get more votes to cuomo.

Yeah admittedly I was originally pissed that they completely botched the original story of puss in boots.

But the character is just so good. Banderas was the perfect casting, and you can tell he loves the role. The upgrade won me over.

The nice thing is that any thrift or second hand store has TONS of children's books, all for the amount of change you could scrounge up from a couch.

Yeah bit what they're saying is they're not online. It's just slop online.

Yeah, from the pics in other posts I'm wondering if this is just a very old lamp. Following the blueprint of its gas predecessor without any thought of what was no longer necessary...

Like a beta of an electric lamp? Before they realized the downsides of a wired connection compared to the "wireless" gas lamp predecessors.

OK, I was convinced this was a cop out answer. But the pic is literally the gas version of the exact same thing.

 

Yes, it's a lamp. But what on earth is this center hoop thing for? Is something supposed to hang here?

My wife says it was purely for decoration but... just shoving a hoop above the lights? Why not a bird or something?

You, should really watch memento. A movie that dances with this exact topic.

I get lots of compliments on my username. Came up with it in the 90s and I feel like it aged well.

Ironically, kinda.

Think about it. If somebody else threatens you for money, you won't have any money to give them when they threaten you.

It's one of the reasons why you'll often hear about "turf". "Don't start anything on my turf" It's because everyone wants to be the only game on their turf so they don't have to compete.
