LITERALLY A BIRD posted:This is sticking out to me because she made a huge goddamn deal about how much money this trip was costing them. Buying the groceries to make a week's worth of dinners for two, plus some boxes of granola bars or whatever for snacks, costs me like 60 dollars tops It seems from their website that they try to make at least some of their meals at home, but I'm pretty sure they'd go for the higher-priced organic and free-trade ingredients. They also have pictures up of snacks they've bought, which come in those old-timey tins that you pay out the rear end for.

yeah I eat rear end posted:They just had to add the poo poo cherry on top of that stdh sundae with the "they had sex too lol what a bunch of sluts" bit at the end. Urushiol is actually some pretty nasty stuff - it can take 50 micrograms of purified urushiol to induce a rash, which means even brushing against a leaf can be enough. Coating a surface that someone's going to grip firmly would definitely do something, as long as they're not immune. It's also an oil, so it lingers for quite a while - it's generally not safe to touch even a dead vine, unless you know it's been at least a year, preferably several. (I live in an area with a ton of poison ivy - both plant and vine - so I know most of this from personal experience!) The story still didn't happen, though.

I googled it, and apparently some scuba diver got his finger bitten off by a pufferfish, and some other people have been attacked while swimming/diving. So it's possible, but I have no idea why any responsible store owner wouldn't keep a potentially dangerous animal under some sort of locking mechanism. Gotta think about the lowest common denominator, and it's a whole lot cheaper to put even a brick on top of the tank lid than it is to pay for some idiot's hospital bills.

kimbo305 posted:Tbf, isn't it just that logging companies never wanted to cut into their profit margins by replanting after their cuts? I mean, it still takes a loooong time to get a forest back, but they weren't even trying. Depends on the company, really - nowadays, a lot of companies in the US replant as part of a sustainability initiative (as long as they're not planning to sell the land to be developed), but some companies have been replanting for years and years. Basically, if the company owns that land and is planning to keep it after logging, hell yeah they're going to replant as soon as possible.

Jay Rust posted:I've never taken strolls through the wilds with any of my college classes, although to be fair I studied literature I majored in Wildlife Science - nearly every class had a practical lab attached (so we would be tramping through the woods looking at plants/practicing setting traps/doing turtle surveys). If anyone tried being that Wacky and Quirky, I think the rest of the lab section would have unanimously voted to leave them there, since that would have just added extra time to the lab (which were usually at least a couple hours, if not longer).

hyperhazard posted:Honest question: What career do you go into with that major? Park ranger? Environmental scientist? Crazy woods hermit? Pretty much all of the above - the federal hiring freeze kinda screwed a large portion of my graduating class over, since the federal government's a pretty large employer there. Some of my classmates got jobs working with state agencies managing nongame populations or restoring natural habitats or performing hunter surveys to prevent overharvesting of game species, stuff like that. I've personally been trying to get a job working in animal care, but I've taken classes that reflect that - Animal Behavior, Wildlife Diseases, Herpetology, etc. Fathis Munk posted:My money's on druid. The basics - where they were from, what they were in town for, their opinions on the construction going on downtown... (The lab where we did reptile/amphibian surveying were really interesting - we learned about the different methods of marking the animals we captured, how to recognize potential biases or patterns in the captured individuals to account for age or sex groups that may be more prone to capture, how to extrapolate the survey to estimate the total population in the area, etc.) If anyone's interested in asking any more questions, feel free to message me - I don't like causing derails!

If some random dude whispered that to me as he was handing me something, there is no way I would be smiling. Well, maybe a nervous "what the gently caress is this dude on" smile...

This story is super sparse compared to other revenge fantasies - baby's first STDH or an  attempt at a parody?

Stack Machine posted:It was this, I'm sure. Waffle house is A Thing in Georgia, and not only for drunk people late at night. Every time I visit my mom in Valdosta it's where we eat unless I suggest something else. I would pop in for a coffee with my grandfather when I worked summers on the septic tank truck. There's one on the Georgia Tech campus. It's massively popular and always open. I think the severity of COVID finally hit home for my family back in GA when the local waffle house shuttered up. I mean, the Waffle House index is a thing.
