shy boy from chess club posted:Is that a yardbird under the other chair? It sure is, two straight months of chasing it off the deck hasn't taught it anything, the cat is not helping. A few minutes after I took that picture a Perigrine Falcon swooped by and the stupid chicken freaked and slammed headlong into the watering cans.

It's stupid, but rioting and destroying poo poo often gets results more quickly than peaceful demonstrations, look at Stonewall or the Boston Massacre.

They can go gently caress their lovely, stupid native species that falls to predation by 44 loving feral cats. loving 44 cats, you can't find a better solution than poisoning them all to death? No one is going to adopt them?  This cat was ear-tipped as a non-adoptable stray cat.  This cat was picked up.off the street as a kitten. gently caress poisoning feral cats for some artificial notion of native species. E: a better view of Taylor Swift's ear-tip

I literally have no excuse, I've volunteered in a program the captures feral cats, fixes them and releases them for vermin control, and they have to cull the population occasionally. It is kinda funny that in the Australian Outback, noted for varied and dangerous wildlife cats are apex predators though.

Sure as hell not buying one on $37k/yr, not here anyway. I have a couple of coworkers in the same job title who do own houses, but they've been with the company a lot longer, are maxed out on their pay ($48k/yr assuming 40 hrs/week), and bought either a bit out of town or a long time ago.

Liquid Communism posted:The median personal income in the US is $31,099. The average is $63,179. I'm aware of the math on income inequality, but holy gently caress, that's brutal. And the median and mean don't even take benefits in to account, which means those numbers don't even begin to reflect the real damage.

nadmonk posted:Cure animal and non-working car? I went out for a 6 month deployment, the place where you park your car for that is a nice grassy field next to some woods. Those little fuckers ate my engine air filter, the insulation off my hood, the insulation off my trunk lid, everything inside was soaked in piss and covered in poo poo (fortunately they didn't nest in the passenger compartment, since I'm allergic as gently caress to that stuff) Anyway, a few weeks later I went on a snowboarding trip, my gear was stored in the trunk, I had checked my boot laces and whatnot to make sure those little buggers hadn't chewed through them, but I didn't look inside the boots. I picked one up to put it on, and it was like 5 lbs heavier than it should be, and there was insulation stuffed in the top, pull the insulation out, and the size 14 boot is stuffed to the brim with acorns, it seemed like it took 5 minutes to empty them all out, made a big ol pile in the parking lot.

It's just the way of the world, every major command has a group of people designated to troll sailors Facebooks, making sure they're not divulging classified info/ saying racist poo poo/ threatening to defect to Russia/ threatening to kill the president (more of a problem during Obama's administration, weirdly) etc. A lot of people are too dumb to realize this, and are complete no-filter stream of conciousness on their SM sites, I'm friends with a couple of them, my favorite is the dude who just open-palm slams the post button on the worst right-wing, left-wing, and Libertarian memes I've ever seen.

STR posted:I, uh... my roommate seems to be a straight(that part is still kind of questionable to be honest, despite knowing him roughly half my life) sugar daddy. I bought my house during a month of shore leave, necessitated by my dad's death, the day after I signed the papers I flew to get back on the boat (because my first POS mortgage agent ghosted me), 4 months later when I was back on American soil I flew to my house to stay for the first time, I was gonna set up an air mattress and shop for a bed, but my roomates had already set up a platform bed and queen sized mattress for me, with linens and everything. It was a little hard not to tear up. Sorry about your roomate's kitty, 20 years is a good run, I hope he passes peacefully to the big mouse-chasing ground in the sky. I literally have no idea what I'll do when it's Rosie's time :/ poo poo's so bad that my military superiors are "encouraging (us) to exercise our first amendment rights, in light of recent events" Have a story in three parts as a break for a break from Police brutality. a black man in police custody in Tacoma, WA was choked to death, it happened a month ago but the autopsy results are just coming out

JFC Marky Mark, drat. I think there are people that would say they're anti-fascist there, I think the right wing thinks that ANTIFAs more of a centrally organized institution than it is.

Maksimus54 posted:To be fair when WA changed their laws we got hosed by crazy high taxes on liquor. There's a 20% sales tax plus a "liter" tax that's something like $3.50 per liter. And they all charge MSRP so there are no deals on booze. It's an expensive time to be here. WA liquor taxes are INSANE, they're 50% higher than the next highest state, Oregon, over twice what the 5th highest state charges, on a heat map of liquor taxes in the US we get our own color.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:That was doable even for a low skill muppet - the problem was target fixation. He was turning the corner then the car goes straight ahead, that's the moment he absoluty locks his attention on the Cruiser and at that point he's toast. If you think you are gonna hit something, you WILL steer / lock brakes straight into it. Don't target fixate, don't target fixate don't...  gently caress. E: Rhyno posted:We're having to quarantine our Siamese because he has begun peeing in random corners again. He's seen loads of doctors and behavior specialists. They all concur it's a deep behavior issue that happens when he's uneasy and welp we added a fourth cat to the house a few months ago and she attacks him constantly. He's crying a little bit because he clearly hates being cooped up and it's breaking my heart a bit. I have this issue with Rosie, hard to tell what her stressors are, barring the dogs from my room has helped. This has helped calm her down, they make a different version that's supposed to help kitties socialize, it didn't work for me, but might help your boy. Good luck kitty!

I remember frying the caps in my Dad's old JVC pumping tunes in the 90's, old reciever came with a signed thank-you note from the prez. Of JVC. Anyways, whatever you're plugging into that kills the noise probably has an isolation bridge to neutral, since grounded and grounding conductors are indistinguishable, electrically speaking

God I hate that clickbatey video title, content seems a No double insulated (two prong device) piece of equipment should be grounding (more accurately bonding) any metal/cable shielding/etc to the grounded (neutral) conductor, due to the potential for the grounded conductor to suddenly become a very hot conductor if its return path is interrupted. Maybe you could do it through an isolation transformer?

Do you have more info on Jeffery being a "lovely person" or are you just gonna hang that out there? I like SA in the way I like the US government, it and its leaders are almost always the stupidest, most wasteful things on the planet, but it's the system you're forced to struggle under, and it's comforting in a way, like being gently suffocated.

How's your plans to move out here with world events these days?

Ah, that sucks, is there any chance he's changed? I really don't see a huge problem as long as the current modmin culture remains intact, it seems the forums have made a huge progressive and inclusive shift (exclusive to Nazis) over the last couple years. Like, I really hate Bezos but I buy things on Amazon, and there's a decent chance I'll end up working for him at some point.

kastein posted:On hold but not for long. The house isn't super far from done at this point. Once that's done and a bit more of my crap is sold, packed, or thrown out, it's time to hit the road. Our septic field design is done and submitted to the county, once it's approved we can hopefully get the well drilled and at that point nothing is stopping us from moving except the driving and flying. My rough plan is I'll pack what I need for survival into a trailer, what I will need eventually into crates and stack it in my hangar, leave the house empty and ready for sale, and hit the road. That's radical, hit me up if I can help in any way, I can't really travel more than 450 miles right now without Admiral's permission, but that may change. I'll for sure be around when you get up here, I have a surprising amount of time off right now. I also know the Tahuya 4x4 trails pretty well by now.
