Years ago I took the kids to a drive through animal park somewhere in S. Georgia.

I pulled up outside the giraffe enclosure and one of the giraffes put her head in the window and layed her head on my shoulder. She let me pet her.

It was so awesome.

15 Tell me does the following make sense in any situatio?:

So my wife was having issues and went to the dr who said basically, "could be anything we'll have to do an ultrasound". In the process of doing the ultrasound, the dr. was there, they found something and the dr said, "oh no that's 12mm 3x the size that we would just discount we must do a biopsy and send it all to oncology right now. We will have it all run and will call you tomorrow.

So today is "tomorrow" and they called,

"hi we're the dr's office..."

yes?

"Oh, well, let me see. Well we're calling you about the test..."

yes?

"We finished it. All done. Checkmark. fini.."

Yes, and the results...

"Oh you wanted to know... wow, ok,... lets see we're playing golf today, tomorrow watching some cat videos, love those crazy cats... How about a week from now if you're not busy."

Those mfers. What does that even mean? Everything's fine so they're not in a hurry? The results are horrible but they are stupid and lazy? WTAF!!!! Make a person wait through the fing weekend and through the next week to hear? Who does that? fing mfers

Then maybe it's a case of convergent evolution. Giraffes, deer, and kangaroos are all fleet-footed herbivorous animals that rely upon eyesight to alert them of approaching predators?

37 How to view Ace's X links without joining X, even though X has killed xcancel/nitter:

https://twitterwebviewer.com

When anyone could view X videos, it was jus' fine.

When Eloon stopped allowing that, using the x to xcancel redirect extension was just as good or better.

Now you have to copy the link and paste it into the twitterwebviewer page, so, a couple of extra steps.

But it works.

For now.....

38 My former tennis club had five giraffes. The owner tore out 5 tennis courts to build the giraffe enclosure and part of the parking lot for housing.

As I understand now she also recently built a penguin habitat. This to go along with all her monkey species ,gibbon apes, miniature animals petting complex, exotic birds , flamingo field, etc.

People in the Houston area are familiar with the owner who is Mattress Mac and his wife. She has complete control of it.

................
This is my reason........I went through two rounds of antibiotics when a cat that I tried to shoo off my deck decided to dig every claw and every tooth he had into my leg........
Another time I was sitting on the couch of a pt's home when a cat was all over me wanting some love/pets. While I was petting him he proceeded to launch himself onto the top of my head and dig his claws into my scalp. The extraction was not fun

I don't know if I dislike them as much as I don't trust them.

I tried cats early on and they kept shitting in my plants and my closet.

Just my reasons!

Finn was a champion - CH Soyara's Grand Finale - but he never was specialed for two reasons. One is that he got the yips about showing. The second is that he was a smaller male and would have looked odd in a lineup. His mother Carmen suffered from the same problem.

81 AOP, in ultra-summarized form, what happens next if the referendum goes the right way?

Was up there in the mountainous part (Canmore etc) for a wedding last week. Was beautiful of course, and nary a whisper of anyone hostile towards the States, eh.

Was amused to see those little lawn signs - here they "This house is ignorant and morally narcissistic, and just believes mindless slogans" (well, that's not what they say but you know the ones).

In some Canmore outlying areas, they said "Unity". Which I thought was just perfect. You see, the problem isn't most of the country morphing into a soft authoritarian economic basket case aligned with Chy-nah, that is vandalizing and harassing Albertans. It's .... "Unity". Darkly hilarious.

85 These little blurbs coming out about Dolly Parton having lesbian relationships are typical of Big Queer trying to convince everybody that everybody does it, and coming out with the info after death so defense can't happen. Even before they died, rumors spread about Cary Grant and Randolph Scott being an item. This came from them sharing a house, not because of queerness, but being two of the biggest cheapskates in Hollywood history, choosing to save money and invest in lucrative California dirt.

86 Modern dentistry has always been amazing, but it's gone off the scale at this point. Painless easy and effective. Digital x-rays, incredible targeted short-duration analgesics. And dental health is surprisingly important to overall health and life expectancy in many cases.

89 AOP, in ultra-summarized form, what happens next if the referendum goes the right way?

Was up there in the mountainous part (Canmore etc) for a wedding last week. Was beautiful of course, and nary a whisper of anyone hostile towards the States, eh.

Was amused to see those little lawn signs - here they "This house is ignorant and morally narcissistic, and just believes mindless slogans" (well, that's not what they say but you know the ones).

In some Canmore outlying areas, they said "Unity". Which I thought was just perfect. You see, the problem isn't most of the country morphing into a soft authoritarian economic basket case aligned with Chy-nah, that is vandalizing and harassing Albertans. It's .... "Unity". Darkly hilarious.

I think it would give the Provincial government a mandate to try to negotiate separation from Ottawa under the terms of the so-called "Clarity Act". Ottawa can be counted upon to not bargain in good faith. I would expect several fruitless rounds of negotiations, followed perhaps by an avowedly separatist party winning an Alberta provincial election, and simply issuing a UDI.

For all their bluster, Quebec doesn't want to be independent and give up the welfare smoosh. Not to mention every bilingual law in Canada would be repealed in 20 minutes. But Alberta can do just fine on its own. The government will kowtow to the Quebecois but will play hardball with the Albertans.

98 X is absolutely determined to have everyone in the world install.their app, probably so that they can grab all the info on your phone. The number of idiots who click on "install" for apps that demand access to to contacts, memory, camera and microphone is infinite.
They filed a cease and desist order against xcancel.
First, they shut off the ability of embedded links to execute video. "Stick our app on your phone!"
When the outcry got too large, they enabled video, but blocked out audio. "Stick our app on your phone!"
Now, they've removed the workaround of adding "cancel" behind the "x", in front of the ".com", using the URL.edit function. " Stick our app on your phone!"
Fuck 'em.

In Japan they are doing the first human trials in re-growing adult teeth by suppressing the factors that prevent further tooth buds from forming. The initial trial is with patients who never developed adult teeth. This first trial should be completed in a year or two, and then they go to second phase with adults with removed or damaged teeth.

Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time

I'm not seeing any parallel between Ukraine, Russia, and Canada.

If the US wants Canada, it can take it. Their army is pathetic and their people are disarmed.

The issue with Alberta is purely domestic, and we can sidestep that by recognizing them as an independent country and go forward from there. If one province bolts, others may well follow, but promising them American statehood is premature.

192 Socialism is a kind of societal herpes that keeps coming back—in waves, whenever elites fail. But even when a bourgeois society seems to be literally suffocating under the weight of its own success, this most repulsive form of civilizational degeneration comes to light. It serves one purpose: to delegitimize the dignity of freedom and individualism.
