We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

Animal Cruelty is basically every K9 Unit's motto.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don't know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn't save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I'd rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

It's 2 sponges lol, I threw it on the kitchen counter to test it.

So then... these factory farms are the ones creating the "weapons of mass destruction," and the activists are the ones trying to stop them...?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The FBI has been collaborating [...] to gather information on animal rights activism [...] under its directive to counter weapons of mass destruction

[...] charging activists who break into factory farms under federal criminal statutes that carry a possible sentence of up to life in prison - including for the "attempted use" of WMD

Can someone explain to me, in simple terms, how animal rights activism is connected to weapons of mass destruction?

Not to defent the corporate dystopia, but usually to qualify for whatever kind of insurance these companies have, they are required by the insurance company to drug test. At least, that's how it is at the company I work for. If they don't drug test, the company is held liable for anything the employee does, and insurance won't cover it.

 

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.

She wants to fill your farmland with trees! Useless trees! No more taters or pipe weed! Good luck digging a new burrow with all those roots. Speaking of roots, did you hear about the Ents? All they do is destroy our towns, ripping our dams apart so they can drink all our water. Horrible, horrible creatures, and they will tread all over your flower gardens if you let this self-centered "elf queen" have her way!

Instructions unclear, ended up going on a 3 hour rant about mocroplastics after shifting the topic from how my bottle is a better choice than disposable plastic ones.

Sarcasm tag isn't necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.
