Well Muffin is adorable anyway!
Haha! I’m convinced pets give you that look on purpose.
Interesting. I saw the fabric and wondered.
My mom had several pet rabbits over the years and they (at least hers) would pick a single spot. I wondered if chinchillas were the same.
Do chinchillas designate a specific spot as their bathroom and consistently go there?
I wouldn’t recommend against people watching it, but I would caution them because it’s a big time commitment for the ending you get.
On a large scale I have no idea but it does for me when I’m driving.
A crosswalk at an intersection, especially an unmetered one, serves as a warning that there’s enough regular pedestrian traffic or a risk that dictated it was needed.
Helps me, personally, to be extra aware for crossers.
Paywalled.
Agreed. At first blush it reads more like that “Find a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life” kind of sentiment.
In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed.
When another student enters and surveys the bodies on the ground in poorly feigned shock, few manage to suppress their giggles. Throughout the video, which ProPublica obtained, a line of text reads: “To be continued……”
Talk about an overreaction.
When I was a kid in the 90s I used to run around our neighborhood with other kids playing “War”. I had a realistic looking cap gun western revolver made out of pot metal, much like this one.
We never had police called on us or even got stopped by them on the rare occasion they were cruising through.
All feelings are valid. The issues come from how some express or act on those feeling.
Yeah, there’s this too:
However, a small but growing number of U.S. states, cities and counties have adopted legislation that impose maximum indoor temperature standards on rental housing. In the last five years, six U.S. localities, including New Orleans and Clark County, Nevada, have adopted such cooling laws, compared with just seven in the previous two decades, according to Reuters' review of property codes and interviews with more than a dozen policymakers and housing officials.
But it shouldn’t have to be done at that minute of a level. State or federally it could (I argue should) be guaranteed as a basic necessity, just like water, power, sewer.
A Reuters survey of housing regulations in all 50 U.S. states found that, while nearly half of them require landlords to maintain existing air conditioning units, none require that air-conditioning be provided. Nor do rental housing regulations describe air-conditioning as an essential service like plumbing, heat and electricity.
AC not mandated in Texas
AC not mandated in LA, though that might change
In general, it’s a safe bet to just assume it’s not mandated and if it is or going to be there’s probably a landlord who opposes it.
Generally speaking you and @Lucky_777@lemmy.world are both right.
There are people who have issues tied to excessive porn consumption but there is not consensus about it being an addiction. Some experts argue that it’s a compulsion rather than an addiction.
I said “very likely” because he is not a reliable source/witness.
There’s a Wikipedia page about all the false or misleading things he says.
I believe he did but I tend to follow the journalistic two-source rule for definitive statements.
I feel similar to you. I’d really question any attempts to ban by this administration.
Article title:
Von der Leyen and Trump strike EU-US trade deal with 15% tariff for the bloc
Many of us are in the habit of mentally calculating it wherever we live though.
For example, my state sales tax is 6.88%, my county has a .25% tax on top of that, and then there’s a metro area tax of 1% on top of that, my city does not impose a separate tax of their own, so total sales tax in my city is 8.13%.
When shopping we’ll do the mental math (roughly) and factor that in so it might say $39.99 + tax but I know that it’ll be a little under $44 with tax.
It’s inconvenient but, like most things, we get used to it and adapt. Also, while tax varies a lot by state, most of us don’t venture too far out of our home area so tax is roughly the same all the places we regularly go.
It would be nice to have the price listed as the price you pay but it doesn’t work as well with our current system.
I must be ugly as sin. My wife and I have been married almost five years and I have yet to be in a situation where a woman is pursuing me and I can shout, “I don’t know you! You’re not my wife!” and run away.
