1700 pounds and the green is all part of the same plant that supports the pumpkin:

I cut way back on cheese because of the salt, also it’s expensive and high in calories. I could easily go through a large block (or even two--8000 calories!) of sharp cheddar in a week, and that was too much.

This is why I gave up red meat, and processed meat:

Here’s something you may not realize: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies red meat as a Group 2A carcinogen, which is described as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Carcinogens are substances with cancer-causing potential.

A review of studies on the relationship between red meat and cancer found that eating high levels of red meat is associated with a higher risk of:

Breast cancer
Colorectal cancer
Uterine cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma
Lung cancer

That’s not all: Processed meats are categorized as level 1 carcinogens. This puts them in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos and means they’re known to increase your risk of cancer.

I did assume vegans would be majority against honey consumption.

I liked having friends when I was a kid. Being friends with adults is complicated and exhausting.

I gave up.

Many people speak long and eloquently yet say nothing at all.

Hear me out.

A battery powered, coffee cup sized one of these:

Yeah. I wasn’t sure, but I thought that was the case.

I know mouse droppings. These are not mouse droppings.

They mean like this:

But, a lot of neighborhoods don’t have them:

I specifically bought in a neighborhood with sidewalks, because kids. But, as GenX I didn’t anticipate that GenZ would be the first generation that didn’t play outside all summer like we used to.

A black spider set up house in the corner of my bathroom next to the automatic nightlight at the start of summer. He/she(?) has been quite successful at hunting flies. There is a pile below the web of about 15 or 20 tiny black packages, neatly wrapped. I almost never see flies in the house, I don’t know how the spider has caught so many--yes, I understand those two things are related, but it seems like I’d see them flying around before they got caught in the web. Also, I’m not certain they’re flies, but they all look the same and are about the right size, and I don’t know what else they could be, I don’t see any other bugs in the house.

Anyhoo, I’m debating what I should do about the spider, if anything. One is fine, but I do not want hundreds more.

AI stopped a school shooting. Did you see that?

Can’t argue with that.

I liked the idea. It just couldn’t compete with much cheaper traditional panels. People weren’t willing to pay a premium for vanity. Also, I think people want to show off the panels, not hide them. I mean you can’t gloat about solar panels if no one can tell you have solar panels.

Same as the one on the right:

I left two onions and four apples at the self-checkout yesterday after paying for them. Just forgot to put the bag in the cart. They could easily credit my account having been informed by the next customer, but no, they won’t. They’ll put them back on the shelf and sell them again.

I’ve always preferred foon to spork. But, I guess that ship sailed.

Microslop must be getting tired of all the winning.

/s, obviously

Deal with it?
