I already call it DD when I cave to needing a quick coffee when I’m running late.

Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.

I don’t know about you, but I quit doing that soul crushing work as soon as I could something I really loved.

I’m in my mid-40s and would have to hate 15+ years to look like that by my late 40s

If you were tall, it was more like an abusive relationship.

It’d smash you in the head, ear or shoulder before hugging you. And if you unhooked the shoulder belt it would yell at you the whole time.

Pretty similar to coastal Maine too. Reading the headline immediately made me wonder if New England is preparing at all. They’ve been having brush fires the last few summers, along with air alerts from the Canadian smoke.

Within 100 miles of the border or coast, your rights are way less.

You’re gonna end up detained no matter what you do if they want to detain you. And they’ve already disappeared plenty of people without due process.

And then RIP, because they’re gonna make your house look like Swiss cheese with all their return fire.

Unless the democracy has systemic flaws that allow it to be captured by minority rule, and that minority voting block disenfranchises enough of the opposition to take all power from the majority.

This wasn’t a democracy in anything more than name before the election.

Well we were in a 1990 Accord Coupe at the time, so it would have definitely crushed us.

Probably would be a windshield collision in modern SUVs though.

We were just in Vermont and Burlington had a lot of no-mow zones and lots of butterfly gardens in the areas we biked.

We saw a lot of monarchs earlier (seemed more than previous years) in the summer too, but it got super dry and we haven’t seen as many lately. And also our observations are purely anecdotal and unscientific.

I worked in my college library, so no we didn’t use the Dewey decimal system.

There were “shadow bands” that looked like wavy ripples starting around then too, and for a few seconds afterward too.

But OP’s point about non-totally is pretty accurate. It’s a little chilly, a bit like overcast, and you can’t look at it without eye protection until totality.

When we were at the 2017 eclipse it was warmer and we watch the bugs come out and birds roost/land on the nearby lake.

Via Calvin and Hobbs and their Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

We also need to remember Eileen Cannon’s roll in allowing Trump to sell state secrets from his golf resort bathroom. That’s treason too, and allowing a judge appointed by the defendant to oversee that case is asinine.

The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?

It says it’ll do faster when “unlocked” in off road mode. Since 20mph is the limit for bike lanes it makes sense why they did it.

Yup moved to moose country later on and are super tall. I skidded to a stop in front of one on a dark night and it was facing away and just looked like a tall person standing in the road.

It looked back at us, then climbed straight up a quite steep embankment into the woods.

The dangers in hitting them is that you knock the legs out from under them and they land on your roof and crush you.
