Going apple picking this week. It's gotten so expensive, though. It costs significantly more than buying them in the store. I guess it's because it's more of a tourist activity than a way to buy apples. Still, I like having some hot cider and seeing the fall sights with my partner

Does Israel really not have a Target equivalent?
Target is basically just Walmart for people who think Walmart is for poor people. It's basically the same low and middle quality mass market goods at a slightly higher price
Did they really breed them to fight? I thought it was part of the Nazis "Aryan" heritage bullshit.
Yellow mustard and onion. Anything else is revisionism
My partner heard this squirrel screeching and then it spent the day hanging around my porch. It didn't seem injured, but it did seem scared. It spent most of the time pressed really flat on the step like it was hiding. I tossed a couple peanuts out the window and it ate them and left at some point.
Hope it's ok.
Propublica had an article about insurance company denials. Cigna denied 300,000 claims in 2 month, with doctors spending an average of 1.2 seconds on each case.

They try to say this system is about preventing waste, but it's purpose is making it too hard to get health care, so you'll give up or die before they have to pay.
I got the disability discharge since they made it easier to do. Now I'm just hoping the US bureaucracy is inept enough to not figure out they're about to kick me off disability and reverse it.
I'm not going to pay it anyway, though
but what they're actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them.
I think they're just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.
It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.
There's also a version of this where you divert water at a regular hydro plant into a storage canal. It still uses pumps, but it doesn't need a separate turbine and a mountain.
My hometown did city wide budget cuts, including a comparatively smaller cut to the police budget. In response the police threatened to cut their K9 unit. They started posting pics on their Facebook from all the copaganda events of kids posing with the dogs, with messages like, "Say goodbye to Hunter, were going to miss this good boy!".
The NH libertarian party was taken over by a group of straight up facists. Libertarians suck for a lot of reasons, but this group is much worse. They had a "slavery was good for black people" post a while back.
E-readers with physical buttons still exist, but the companies price gouge for the privilege, since they're only on the top end models. I'd take the old style with only buttons if they still made them. E-Ink shows fingerprints worse than LCD's so it's kinda dumb to have a touch screens.
