Funny how I can go hiking in the state park and never come across wildlife. But the first time I wake up early during daylight savings, there's a raccoon between me and my car outside the garage. I think we both had our routines disrupted

This. This is the kind of contribution to this thread that the world needs 

 

I was looking back through older posts on here, and yeah I musta not been kidding, I really am crazy

You know, the subtle irony of Beauty and the Beast never really dawned on me until the other day. Belle's dad is known in the village as being a crazy old man (thanks Gaston), and then Belle gets locked in a castle and engages with a bunch of talking housewares and an unidentifiable beast that was actually a man

I have vast experience in that regard. Habitat is all about food and all the food is near people, every backyard here has a dozen skunks but you could hike the national park for years and never see one. Critters have it tough in the wilderness but there is food laying everywhere in the city . Well irrigated lawns full of worms and grubs, bird feeders , pet food, and garbage

I mean the only things I see more of outside city limits are deer and hogs so that makes sense

Cities were animal habitat first

Yep and they don’t have to leave like everyone thinks when they cut trees and build stuff. They adapt and live under your house or in the attic haha. You could go squirrel hunting in the woods and have a hard time finding one but i trapped them out of peoples houses forever

Adaptability is a heck of a trait

@thediscochef, I just had to smile and laugh when all the customers told me “they built that shopping center over there so all the animals had to come live at my house”

 

yeah I’m sure that’s what happened ……..

I liked the new Dune movie. I was really moved by the plotline of the sandworms. I thought they were going to be more of a problem instead of a weird elaborate bus system sort of deal. That's excellent writing. And whoever made the movie did a good job of making sure I rooted for timothy shamalamadingdong and Zendaya(?) and not for the unnaturally white guys led by the actor who played boris shcherbina in HBO's Chernobyl and his weird son/protege/dude. I don't know anything about Dune and I got to the theater 20 minutes late. 9.5/10 stars could have been longer

Those talking housewares were people too

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Almost every day lately I read a BR post and wonder whether we've been infiltrated by bots.  Can't say that ever crossed my mind more than a month ago.  Don't know if it is just me...or the AI

I resolve to not watch any news any more. 

 

Every so often there's a report about the yen tanking.... within minutes I find myself on Digitaka

I'm only a third of the way through the posts and I already have to head for the toilet.

Now I'm just some bot that you used to know

why do the terms "garage" and "parking garage" bring such massively different structures to mind? Who decided that? I hate the term "parking garage" as a descriptor for a multilevel parking structure. What else would you do in a garage but park in it? (I know the obvious answers for this but allow me my righteously feigned ignorance for the sake of comedy please)

 

They definitely used a Strat on the Forensic Files music and they were correct for that. I thought it was very cash money of Prince to call Larry Graham in for that one song 

Bought a Hercules drill at Harbor Freight last week.  Now I can't wait to drill holes.  I never owned a tool that was so satisfying to use.  The power, torque, heft, solid feeling.... wish I had been aware of Hercules long before this

I got a corded drill there once. Cordless is nice, but there's something about consistency in torque that just makes me feel some kind of way. Do you think BassResource would judge me if I used an impact driver to service my reels

Even Elon doesn't have enough money to buy enough pairs to fill that hole.

It's ok to put glasses where your fish should be...just don't put fish where your glasses should be. It could get messy.
