Where I’m at in the NW US, the icy pellets are called ‘graupel’, the slushy snow/rain is “sleet”. Sometimes the weather guys call it “wintry mix” but I haven’t heard it outside that.

Someday we’re gonna have millennial cougars that say “rawr xD”

As a point of pedantry, humans can’t have the voice box of a parrot, because parrots have a syrinx and not a larynx.

Edit: Maybe this is actually a fun fact, idk sometimes

That pepperoni is massive.

Makes sense, you’ve gotta be pretty bougie to think a heated blanket is hypocrisy.

Edit: it’s currently 2C outside and I just turned the space heater off because it’s starting to smell funny.

It also works to treat Reynauds Syndrome.

Does your house not get cold in the winter? We have winter bedding because the bedroom doesn’t get above 60F in the winter and below 80F in the summer.

Ugh. That’s the best option I’ve been able to find, but I really don’t trust Amazon to not just immediately roll over for the feds.

Did you put rats in them?

Where do you livestream? I’m trying to find a service that isn’t shit.

Do you have a mirror? Reddit is blocking my VPN

Trilobyte is next up from terabyte, right?

but because all the patterns (tartans) represent families (like a coat of arms) youll see them reused for a lot of different items.

It is more complicated than that. There are Scottish Clan tartans, Irish Clan tartans, military tartans, generic tartans, then other plaids and check patterns. You’re technically not supposed to use the clan or military tartans for anything other than their intended purpose, but the generics are open game.

My hypothesis is that it’s a frog in a pot of water scenario. Western Union started the first charge account in 1914, so we’ve had a long time to get used to the water heating up. It probably did start with honest intentions to make things work a little smoother, but I remember the early days of digitizing records, and there was a LOT of loose data just there for the taking.

I remember that I used to work at RadioShack in the late '00s, and I had to escalate up to district because we discovered a treasure trove of old paper store credit applications that had been cached somewhere in the backrooms, and my manager wanted to just throw them in the normal garbage and not risk the cost of the extra shredding coming out of her bonus.

These things had SO MUCH INFO, handwritten out onto a paper form; name, birthday, SSN, mailing address, street address, then all that info of the spouse/cosigner that wanted to be on the account too. I could have made so much money on the black market, looking back.

It’s amazing that you complain about people not reading and responding to stuff in their head, then you turn around it do it yourself.

1: I quite clearly stated that this was inappropriate behavior that needs to be educated away. I don’t know how you think my example is condoning the action. Children need to be taught to keep their hands to themselves, this is a normal part of child development. It is normal for children to have Big Emotions and not know how to use their words yet. Normal doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be addressed, it just means that every child has to have it addressed.

2: Have you not read the rest of the thread? Starting with the post calling the child a garbage person?

3: I never said anything to the contrary?

but I would never speak to my kid that way.

Then why are you defending it so hard?

Could you imagine if, idk Paramount or whoever, started releasing exclusively through Blockbuster?

My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don’t teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they’re still learning.

If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you’re a shitty parent.

There’s a whole bunch of beef that’s not edible by USDA standards, and that’s what gets made into dog food. I used to date somebody that worked at a glass-bottle dairy, and they’d eat it anyways, but it was clearly marked on the package “not for human consumption”.
