This 1000 times. It wasn’t even ambiguous in the novel.

What about Keyboard Cat :(

“Wolves have been domesticated by ravens”

I’m a huge fan of glass bottles because of their ease of cleaning and resilience to getting funky. The lid is the only place you have to be careful of, but that’s usually a lot easier to be mindful of

I believe it’s a horrible idea whether or not it’s possible!

If you don’t think your cat loves you, then your cat probably doesn’t think you respect them.

Unless I have a connecting flight, I also am usually pretty relaxed in getting off the plane. I’ll allow other people to get off before me (unless I’m blocking someone else in my row) and I generally don’t rush.

That said, when I am ready to get off the plane, I get off the fucking plane. I don’t take my time, I don’t rummage around. I make sure I know what I need to grab, and prep as much as I can before hand. Either wait in your seat, or get off the plane.

Support UBI, then meaningless jobs don’t matter.

At self checkout, I pack while I scan, and then I have control over the order of scanning and packing.

It does suck that places are opting to have self checkout in exclusion to checkout lanes, but for the people that don’t like self checkout just don’t use it when you have the choice.

Oof, didn’t expect it right in my heart reading these quotes

Your uncle!

And for the majority of Americans cults just get laughed at as well. At least until it started leaking into politics, but that is being seen in many other countries now, too.

A lot of Americans are doing horrible things, and there definitely is something about the culture here that affects that, as you don’t see the mass shooting and school shooting issues in other parts of the world as strongly. But coming at this saying that it doesn’t really happen outside of the USA and that it doesn’t happen in the UK is just ridiculous. If you make a statement that infers you don’t understand per capital, then you’ll get a reply making that rebuttal.

Isn’t/wasn’t the Jesus Army cult UK based? Like, the USA just has a LOT more people than the UK does, it makes sense for there to be more people that fall into fringe groups. But the UK certainly isn’t immune to it.

Saw several stories where the user was experiencing a building wide power outage…

I had to scroll back up because I wasn’t paying attention and my brain initially just saw two dogs… I need more coffee

My experience with the log cabin method reduces the flame and smoke aspects of a bonfire, and keeps it at a steadier, more even burn rather than the quick, higher heat of larger fires. We mostly used it for cooking.

Again, I’m sure that with deeper knowledge of fires someone could get better results. But for consistently made fires that were good for cooking, and didn’t burn through fuel as quickly as a teepee fire would, the log cabin method was easiest to consistently reproduce. We’d usually cook using a Dutch oven, so coals were more important than flames, and high flames were often not allowed at the sites we stayed at.

Isn’t the log cabin fire just doing that in a more organized and structured way? It allows the tinder to catch in the middle before catching the fuel logs, instead of having to add onto them. And sure, you can always restructure the fire once it’s going, but you can also plan it ahead.

Not questioning your ability, rather the opposite. Sometimes structured fires are a standardized way to help people that aren’t as skilled or intuitive for fires.

When I was in scouts we exclusively used firewood gathered on the spot and we’re only allowed to do a minimal of chopping (never allowed to chop down a tree, only break up fallen logs into smaller pieces), and we made log cabin fires most often.

It’s not pointless, they could walk back home, sure, but if they are going for a longer walk and are a couple of blocks away from home, that’s a couple of blocks closer they get water. Or if they are active and playing outside, giving them water would likely be much appreciated.

Water in disposable plastic bottles is wasteful, sure, and maybe you’d have a point saying it would be better to offer cups of water. Maybe there are other people, further away, that could use the water more, sure. But providing something to someone in an act of generosity and good will is nice.

It’s a nice thing to do?
