You will never guess which Judges voted to make it easier for public officials to receive gifts.

Related to U.S. gun violence. I’m always amused at statements like this from survivors. “The good Lord was looking after us” Right. Okay. So what was the good Lord doing for the dead and wounded? You sick fucks.

Great. Now even the Amazon app has been taken over by “AI” and I get to figure out if it’s even possible to turn it off. Jesus Christ! Please stop ruining everything.

Well, you can. As far as dealing with them permanently, I read mixed opinions on how. We’re still weighing options. The potatoes are growing so well we don’t want to lose them. Apparently these bugs like potato and tomato leaves. Yikes!

Filled up six of my SodaStream canisters for under $20 today. I love how they frost over after the dry ice warms up. Live dangerously, save money.

I just learned what a “potato flea” is after seeing the leaves of our potato plants with tiny circular holes and covered with little black incescts that look and hop like fleas. Fortunately, they’re NOT fleas and are easily crushed. :)

While pulling out thorny blackberry bushes and English ivy from the side yard, I came across this cute inch worm. It likes to pretend to be a twig or branch. Evolution is awesome!

They used “artificial intelligence” a handful of times, mostly later in the presentation, but it was initially “intelligence” and later “Apple Intelligence.” I didn’t hate it.

I’ve picked up several Dyson vacuums over the years at thrift/second hand stores. I wouldn’t pay full price for things like Dyson but they do make some wonderful stuff. Their fans are pretty damn great, when they’re under $50 used. :)

I bet there are! I also have an inexpensive adapter so I can use my DeWalt batteries to power my older Ryobi stuff. I had a bunch of assorted Ryobi yard and power tools that still work perfectly fine. It’s great to be able to stick with a single brand of rechargeable batteries for most tools.

Yeah. It fits nicely and works perfectly. Great purchase. I have a similar adapter for Ryobi battery operated equipment and a couple DeWalt ones so I can use these newer batteries with their old style tools. I’m using a lot of 15+ year old beat up tools and they still run well.

I just fixed my biggest gripe about Dyson handheld vacuums with a $20 adapter. Already got a stash of real batteries? Use them on everything. There’s an adapter for that. I’d be okay with Dyson batteries if they didn’t go out of their way to make hot-swapping them practically impossible.

Why is Israel okay to kill their neighbors using the bombs we give them while Ukraine isn’t? Just more bullshit. That’s all.

Oh boy! More international groups have said more words to the state of Israel. So many more words! I’m sure something’s going to change soon! Just keep warning them and telling them things. Words words words!

Fellow chicken owners! We switched to hemp shavings for bedding and love it! The deep litter method has been working perfectly for us. A+ would recommend.

Where do you get your hemp shavings? I found the best price online and will still be spending ~ $500 USD cleaning twice a year. #chickens #hemp

Yes! We have at least one that lives in the wooded area behind our home. Sometimes I’m walking within a few feet of it and hear nothing. I don’t even know until I look up and see it staring at me. It likes to sit on a branch and watch our chickens play on the yard at times. Beautiful creatures.

I hope that’s true. It’s certainly plausible. I just think when dealing with people like Putin, we as a world need to handle them a little differently. And my differently, I mean bye-bye Putin.

Let me guess. In two years we’ll still be hoping for a ceasefire and attempting to keep Russia from consuming Ukraine. It’ll still be completely political. Putin will continue have free rein to kill whoever the fuck he wants. Netanyahu will keep getting U.S. weapons and cash. This is bad.
