True! We rented time at the arena in town last year and it was nice because it was out of the wind and the ground wasn’t frozen. Still cold, I wanted to wear a glove on my rein hand!

When I was a teenager, I worked in a garden department of a store. We had plants to water. The pipes for the water had shutoffs in the ceiling in addition to the faucets themselves. I was working over the weekend and needed to water the plants, but no water would come out. The ceiling shutoffs were open, but I had heard there was a master shutoff just inside the store.

So I went in and was looking around on the walls, following pipes, and found this very large pipe with a shutoff on it. It had a tag hanging on it that said “emergency test” but my teen brain thought this meant it had been tested and passed inspection.

I turned it on and went outside, only to find an enormous amount of water coming out a different pipe, some kind of drain. Not what I wanted! When I reentered the store, the fire alarm was going off, but I thought nothing of it, shut the valve, and went about my business. By the time I got back outside, the fire department was there.

About 15 minutes later, fire folks in full gear were in my area poking around with the boss. I asked what happened, and they said for some reason there was a pressure drop in the sprinkler system and it triggered an automatic response 😬 I told them what I did, and they said they were too old for this, and then left. Not a great decision for me that day…

Looks like a great time! I’ll be thinking about this arena when we are riding outside in the pasture 🥶

It might depend on the town. I live in a small town, it takes me 15 minutes to walk to work, there is a gym closer, a grocery store a little farther, a bank, hardware, some restaurants. That is All very nice! But for the social things you mention, I would have to go to the next town, about an hour away by car. I go sometimes but otherwise enjoy solitude. And the internet obviously 🙂 I have never lived in a big city, but have lived in bigger towns, and the food options and social life are better, even at 5000 people. In the US, folks in small tend to be insular, but given time they will open up and be friendly.

This is like that cop that ran over and killed a homeless person while shortcutting through a park 🤡 madness.

Ya, I am not necessarily interested in the photos themselves, but would like to not be tagged.

I hope Gibson ends up in a rack, Voight in a K car, and Stallone in an F1 car he can’t drive.

That’s pretty interesting. I’m not sure about southern California, but other parts of the southwest have hydrophobic soils that exacerbate flash flooding. This addition of vulcanized plant matter with the same characteristics would just make it worse.

Maple syrup is a highly processed thing

No, it’s not. It isn’t any more processed than bread. Maybe some maple syrup is highly processed, just like some bread is, but it isn’t categorically so.

Wow. This is a really great way to see how bad that side is, thanks for sharing this source.

I didn’t like cottage cheese until I was 38. I kept trying it, not sure what changed.

What do you mean (from another mbin instance)?

I was also a kbin person, and mbin (my instance) also links posts together for the most part. Does Lemmy not?

I am wondering about this, also. I have a regular watch, with a “plastic” band. Why would PFAS be used in these bands? Ridiculous.

Chattanooga, Tennessee did something like that, but when they tried to expand outside of the city they were shut down

Wow, I was considering switching to that from Mailfence but maybe not. Maybe I will look at the other options or sit still to see what happens over the next 30 days.

So is there a way to bulk untag from photos and such? Is that what I understand you are doing (and downloading them)?

Interesting to read that, essentially, international industrial spying has existed for the entirety of “industrialized” times. Also, since Lowell did this prior to photography, what would folks have called his memory?

What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs at dusk?
