He mentioned he has small hands as well.

I believe the current number is 46500. I think after all is done, if we ever get a "true" number, it will be closer to 200k killed.

An old friend of mine was born with two fingers and a thumb on his right hand. Instead of awkward left hand handshakes he just owns it and freaks people out.

One of the hardest things about my job is getting my big hands into small spaces to put a nut on a bolt, etc. He'd probably be a great mechanic.

Could you name the site for people who could really use this?

I hope you get what you need.

It's Lena, of course. Fate.

My cats watch me like, are you done, I need to go.

Probably wondering why I want their poop so bad.

Depending on your line of work and the customer, you could try a trick I started using. I call it the broken record.

"I'm sorry ma'am/sir but due to [issue/policy] I am unable to comply with your request." Just let them rant away and ask for it however they want then repeat, using the exact same words. They will usually quit after the second or third application of broken record*.

*Broken record may result in you getting cussed out and hung up on, sometimes threatened. I enjoyed these moments though because you got to hear some entitled piece of shit absolutely melt down.

It's another round of bird flu, a new strain, we're cooking up. It's why chicken and eggs are so expensive. Millions have been culled. If it makes the jump to humans we're in for a hell of a ride. Currently 50% mortality rate although that would probably be different for humans.

He stayed on to try to help. Can you imagine how much worse covid could have been if we had some Trump yes man in the post? This man helped save the world from AIDS. It took a huge protest to change his mind but still.

If bird flu is contained then the shortages will stop. Or we could defund everything, let it run wild until it jumps to humans, and make covid look like a wet fart. Which direction are we running in?

I legitimately feel so bad for that young man.

It's a place to post your photos cropped into squares. You can get gratification there because all your friends have to like your photos.

I used to run a pizza place. Bad snow was some of the worst. Half the staff would call off and we'd have double the orders. We were in a mostly flat city on a grid, so we would cut delivery down to just the grid. People would be furious to be denied delivery pizza. "I just drove up the hill an hour ago! It's fine!" Yeah in your truck. My delivery driver is in a beat up twenty year old four cylinder.

One day I tried to take our car to work and immediately put it in a ditch. I called my boss while I walked to work. I said we can't do delivery today this is too extreme. He said oh just do the grid like usual. The only driver who showed up that morning wrecked his car on his third delivery. We always told them, take the topper off your car and hide it in your trunk. If insurance finds out you were doing commercial business they will not pay.

I don't know about the difference between a jackrabbit and a rabbit but rabbit jambalaya was sent from the gods. If you're not hunting them for game why not hit em with the shotty. Super fun to shoot and you can teach quick lessons on how to hold it right because it usually only takes one shot holding it wrong.

When I got halfway through your post I already knew I was going to ask about gardening. They eat everything. Everything. Shit that's supposed to be toxic to them. Plant some mint my ass.

Luckily we have a raised porch so we can have a few ferns, peppers, and herbs. They won't walk up all the stairs.

I rent this place but I'm responsible for the back hill up to the next street. I let it grow wild for 6 years. They had their babies back there. Somebody snitched on me to the city and I was lucky I only had to pay someone $600 to clear it. At the time I was literally only in town 48 hours tops per week and I wasn't going to kill myself with a chainsaw when I'm already exhausted.

Funny. In my 20s I didn't give a shit about getting ahead in life, more like getting head in life. So I would have been dismissive of wolf shit for that reason among others.

40s me to 40s you- fuck yeah go for it, let that freak flag fly!

If you're willing to take some advice from a fellow non-hunter, go with someone experienced. I know my way around a firearm too, but I would never say, go rock climbing alone with kids because I know how a carabiner works.

The thing I understand from talking to the young and old about hunting is that it is very cold and very boring.

I got some Dickies long underwear on sale this winter and it is amazing. Combined with ski style pants, heavy boots, two layers of wool socks and thin gloves under thick gloves, plus jackets (one thick warm, one thin waterproof) of course, I was a snow and ice destroying machine during the last bad storm here. I would recommend a setup like that to go hunting. Even though it's just the fall or early winter you're going to be starting at 4am and then not moving for hours.

I was raised by women, and it's not that women can't hunt, culturally they don't where I'm from. And I absolutely hate being cold. I think my ADHD brain might have had a little problem with staring at nothing quietly for hours as well. Hunting is a fuck no for me.

The last American lions died out here about 13 thousand years ago. There was all kinds of wild-ass shit roaming around here back then. Humans have been wrecking the world's ecosystems far before the industrial revolution, we just kicked it into overdrive the past 200 years.
