Instant ground turkey, healthier than beef.
Over here we've got the Pheasants, they just demolish the front end of the car unless you hit them right (ideally the head and neck, takes some deft driving but it can be done)

Kinda long rant.
No one i know has even a one week reserve of funds for emergencies. My mother's got a pension, social security and works part time. My friends work full time jobs, some have a second part time job, some of them childless couples living together. I've been out of work for 5 years, voluntarily, this autumn, living off savings and investments i had. I've got my bills coveted for the next year and a little cash available. I'm losing money monthly, yet I'm the one they all come to for financial help. My mother had her phone shut off and can't put gas in her car, because her pension check didn't get deposited in time. My friend and her BF knew they were losing their apartment for 3 months(and didn't have to pay rent from what I understand) , they didn't bother trying to save money until 2 weeks before they had to move, guess what, they didnt have enough to cover 1st, last and security anywhere. All these people have weekly income, i don't fucking get it, they find money for alcohol/ drugs/multiple coffees a day/ fast food/ weekend travel/ novelty junk/ etc., but cry poor me when they can't pay bills or something breaks. Fucking people need to figure out WTF priorities are, this banks closed from here on out. I'm so fucking sick of irresponsible people thinking they aren't accountable for their own actions. You knew rent was due! You knew your insurance ended that month! You know you have a loan! You know your cars been dying for a year! You know your pet needed medical care! WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING WHEN YOU FUCKING REALIZED THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!? Great.. My mother's here.. I'm gonna go give her an earful.

That's usually a county thing, within the state around here.
Current federal gov't. is just a propaganda machine. Too busy to worry about dogs.
Well, Russian dogs maybe

if someone has a legitimate need for a service animal, i'm fine with it. i may decide to go to another restaurant to eat, but i'm not going to say shit about it. the people that piss me off are the ones that just luv their wittle dawgie sooo much they just can't leave the little fucking flea bag fart factory at home.....the may have a condition, but it requires a foot up their ass, not a service animal.
they should have to be licensed properly, with a tag, and if they don't have it, they and their dog can move the fuck on

Yup and my service dog is duly licensed as such by the County of Los AngelesThat's usually a county thing, within the state around here.

Hear hear, it pisses me off when I see these morons walking around the bloody SUPERMARKET with their little rat dogs in a bloody shoulder bag, or see them pushing the dog around in something akin to a baby buggy.
First, it's a dog. It doesn't matter how small it is, it's a living, breathing, intelligent creature and not a fucking fashion accessory like cheap jewellery.
And if your dog is so fucked it can't walk anywhere, do the decent thing and put the poor bastard out of it's misery.
People with little dogs carrying them when they are on public transport, fine, no problem as most humans don't pay attention to where they are going. The second you put it into some sort of fashionable shoulder bag, however, is the second you deserve to get a slap on the back of the head with a cricket bat (the thwack of willow upon skull is acoustically more satisfying than that from a baseball bat).

I agree with the sentiment, not so much with the regulation. Too many people are emotionally weak. They need to learn to suck it up and deal with life. Not saying there aren't legitimately damaged people that need it, but most don't.
I really couldn't care less if there's animals in an establishment, but just like kids, keep them quiet and away from me.

i don't think it's the difference between willow and ash, i think it's the large flat surface, provides more of a "Crack!", the rounded surface of a bat is more of a thump

I guess what I'm saying who determines the animal is a "certified" service animal? How many weeks/months of training is required? How is the animal tested in various situations (loud noises, busy traffic, other animals, airplanes, trains, buses). Or do you just send in your $150 to XYZ Certification and get your nifty vest and "papers"? I realize there is a need for service animals but if you have them out in the world, there is also a need for some testing standardization that assures they won't panic in certain situations. But then, that makes it a $25K> dog, too.

The willow is a softer wood, more flexible so even if it was baseball bat shaped the sound would be different.
But, as you say, the shape does give a more satisfying sound and you would notice the difference if you made a cricket bat out of ash as a comparison.
Now Ebony, that's a different story, that would be more like the squish of a watermelon being hit.
Isn't that quite easy to do as assorted countries already have very clear definitions and "emotional support" isn't one of them.
Blind, deaf, physically/mentally disabled, epilepsy, all recognised as reasons for a recognised "service" animal. "I'm a little snowflake who can't go anywhere without her chihuahua" isn't.

i'm not sure how they're certified now. i'm not sure if they ARE certified now. it certainly seems like there should be some kind of training, they're going to be taking the dog into public, like a seeing eye dog, and they require some pretty intensive training to be able to ignore people and vehicles, and do their jobs. you hardly ever hear of a seeing eye dog biting anyone, and a lot of it is because of that training. if you just let people go to their shrink and get a note, so they can take whatever dog they want with them when they go out, then it devalues a good program that some people actually need.

Yes that's what I'm saying. Seeing eye dogs are about $50K

I was driving down my buddy’s driveway, long dirt rd, and this big ass owl flew over the car and landed several feet in front of me, right in the middle of the driveway. Looked right at me, kinda sizing me up. Lol. I think he knew I wasn’t gonna run him over..

i might have, that owl either has an attitude, or he's stupid, either way you'd be doing the other owls a favor
