I had read somewhere this was an actual thing in some places with very high snowfall. Instead of climbing down into (and digging) a snow-trench you shifted to the top one for the winter. Must suck to clean up the lower one in the spring...

Somebody felt the need to post a picture of their meal.  There are other pictures from that casino of some of the grossest meals. Are the meals free or cheap there?

We grew up just north of here and always seemed to stop by on our shopping trips to Paducah. I haven't been back in decades, but hear people go for the riverboat casino now. Maybe it is the flesh tone of the statue, but Streetview blurs out his face.

Hasturtium posted:"Wow, what a bunch of old crap!" will be the collective response. All that energy spent in the hopes that younger generations will be thrilled to see the mass produced goods of their forefathers might amount to a few newspaper articles, some listicles, a handful of Reddit threads, and maybe a half dozen Tiktoks. I actually went to a cat show out of morbid curiosity before covid hit and it was a great time. 95% of the people there are completely self aware which makes the absurdity of it all comedic instead of concerning. All nice folks, even the judges. Kind of insulated from all the cynicism and malice of internet types like us.

It makes sense, two me, if they offset the toilets. One hole on the right, one on the left. That way you have a shaft to the pit, and not a person or toilet covered in poo poo.

Breeding for derived traits that define a breed is always delicate work, and reputable breeders try to balance that. Puppy mills are shitholes that are responsible for a lot of ongoing misery and genetic disease affecting breeds, but they are persona non grata at pet shows. Cat breeding mirrors that, more or less.

If anyone else is interested in exploring and/or sharing ridiculous Americana, I can offer some tips: Go to Google maps and search for something, like: -Family Restaurant -Roadside Attraction -General Store -Tourist Activities It'll search in your area first, zoom back out and then go find somewhere. Then "Search in this area" will be based on wherever you are looking. In my experience, you can go within a 20 mile radius of most roads in America and find something interesting to look at. The photos on there are all user uploaded and often there's both great photography and unintentionally great photography to look at. If you want to post something, from mobile the only real option is taking a screen cap and cropping it. On a web browser, though, you can actually cheat by clicking the 3 dots next to the name of the uploader and choosing to report the image. It will take you to a new page asking for reasons, but it also includes a savable link to the image before you ever have to submit a report.

Puppy mills are shitholes that are responsible for a lot of ongoing misery and genetic disease affecting breeds, but they are persona non grata at pet shows. It's the kennel clubs that set the standards that have resulted in german shepherds with short deformed back legs & hip problems, or everything about English bull terriers or pugs in general. The breeders just try to breed for those standards because that's what people are told they want. I mean just compare a working german shepherd to one bred to AKC standards. Edit: Found the one I was thinking of. Dog's name is Rumor, won the Westminster Dog show. But just look at how hosed up it is. stratdax fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Dec 30, 2020 |

zedprime posted:There aren't really any legs to stand on when brachycephalic cat and dog breeds are enshrined in show criteria. The goal is to cripple the offspring, in a cute way. Please don't take this as disagreement, but I don't think the poster is in favor of those problems, and I am sure they would say as much. But this isn't a dog breeding morality thread, so please end this here.

Trent Avenue is a commercial district road leading into Spokane, WA. There is a section for maybe a mile or two where there are at least 5 gun and ammo shops in a row. Not high end fancy places, just Billy Joes Guns and Ammo and stuff like that. And they all have large signs and billboards. Been meaning to take some pics for years. You won't get exact pics from there but if you google image "spokane trent avenue gun shops" you'll get the general idea. https://www.google.com/search?q=spo...ZL_enUS679US679 If I went down there tomorrow with $2,000 I would have an insane arsenal. Just walking out the door with it all.
