I can't name the last time someone has died in a "stampede". It's probably all the egress and occupancy regulations we have to mitigate them.

Any problem I've ever had printing is almost exclusively a problem with the printer, it's usually yellow or cyan. Doesn't matter the document is black&white.

It was a very cool festival, I'm now considering driving to WV for the Chestnut Festival.

I got 2 saplings at the festival. From different vendors so it's incredibly unlikely they're related. They're already planted and doing well, they survived the windstorm from Helene undamaged.

Just planted 2 trees I got at the Pawpaw festival a couple weeks ago. They appear to have survived the wind storm from Helene. Even if my lawn furniture was thrown 30 ft.

Obama's running mate was Joe Biden, putting him on the ballot. 2016 had a Clinton on the ballot. Reagan's VP was HW Bush.

The more accurate way to phrase this would be "This is the first election since 1980 to not have a Biden, Bush. or Clinton on the ballot."

I never knew Squirrel Kings were a thing, they appear to mostly happen to siblings

Fortunately for me, I live in a city with pretty good tap water and I have newish copper pipes (post 2000).

The biggest concern we have right now is the potential of PFAS contamination, but its under the EPA and European regulated limits.

Which given what I know about most bottled water sourcing (generally, it's just tap water from somewhere else) it is really the best I can hope for.

I've just done a quick search, and the only articles I'm seeing are reporting on 2 different studies, one about the olfactory bulb and one about brains, nothing about either being disproven.

Not sure what makes them think your house is the problem

 

I'm currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.

Looking for suggestions.

I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I'd have to plant them to my house.

 

I've made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won't stop sending me notifications. I've been stealing memes from the https://lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group.

So far I'm more or less been allowed to run rampant, so here are some of the hits.

 

The average brain weighs 1300-1400 grams. If 0.5% of that is plastic by weight, your brain contains 6.5 - 7 grams of plastic. The average plastic credit card weighs 5 grams.

I have no photos or videos, but I was on Topsail Island on vacation on June 4th around 11pm, where I saw a decently bright moving object erupt with a huge v-shaped tail for atleast 30 seconds. The tail was a faint green color. It fell from the eastern sky into the northeastern sky.

Google has been particularly unhelpful. Was wondering if you fine folks had any idea. I'm assuming space debris. But I cant find any other reports of anyone seeing it.
