Wait, your whole profile is based on adoration of the Triceratops? It's not just a pun? Because I have little kids, which means there are dinosaurs coming out of my ears. Do you know about the humble tricerataco?

You love to see it. I also loved to see Booker slashing to the rim last game, seems like he was doing it much more than we've seen from him in a long time.

In before someone says that they find it funny that you use candles like this when they could have been used to heat chafers of food instead.

This is fascinating, I've never thought of "forestation" as an environmental problem. Conifers take at least ten years to start making cones, and they die and are worth money when you cut them down. But I guess if you don't have the mill infrastructure to profit from timber, it could be a problem.

It's also wild how remorselessly they use people as pawns without expecting that any of them will realize or resent it. Farmers, people on federal aid, minimum wage earners, immigrants, etc., all laid across the sacrificial altar of coalescing power within a shrinking group of shrieking sycophants.

The best is when you request a purchase from the library (I've never been rejected, even for a $65 book about isopods, haha) & they notify you it's ready for pickup & they've already satisfyingly reinforced the binding with tape & you know you are the first one to thumb through those pristine pages.

I planted my first orchid terrarium earlier this year in a cheap plastic shoebox from Costco and it's been really rewarding!

I'm just a biologist, but loss of separation between flying airplanes sounds pretty bad. I'm taking Amtrak this week...I hope to maintain significant separation between trains.

I'm in the Inland NW so we are also very dry in summer. Spokane just had the driest June-August ever (144 years of data).
Also, I don't share all the dead plants.

Since it lived outside in the summer, the wind has knocked it over MANY times, haha. I had to stake it to a t-post this last summer.
