Hedgehog tippy-tapping.

Funny bird trolls lizard. I think it's a lizard. I can't tell. The bird is covering it with dirt.

Does this dog remember the man who rescued it before placing it in its forever home? Signs point to "Yes."

I'm told that's why you need to bring them into a shed for lambing, especially in the frozen north. Because it's February when they lamb, and momma sheep will drop her young on the frozen ground and not notice that it freezes to death, because she's insulated in 6 inches of wool and doesn't care about the cold.

Were I a scuba shop, this would not be an issue, but I am a purveyor of sports cards and memorabilia.

The weather cooperated by freezing the roof over the weekend, but now we have 2-3 days of 40-45° and steady rain. In addition, I'm pretty sure there is now mold in the one wall.

So, while I am not glad to most likely be sleeping in my store tonight, I am glad to be here with all of you.

My family bought my aunt's house when I was maybe nine. My father had actually helped build the place, and pretty quickly he wanted to tear out the ugly kitchen and make a half-wall for a breakfast bar, especially because there seemed to be a wiring issue.

The house was about 10 years old in the farm country of Illinois. We had noticed a weird smell in the kitchen, but chalked it up to water or something. When we tore down the top part of the drywall, the smell got much worse - and overwhelmed us when we found the bodies of at least a couple hundred field mice.

Apparently, the mice had been running along the main power line and had chewed a little bare spot between 2x4s. Occasionally one of them would hit it and ZAP - dead mouse down to the bottom of the wall.

I think my mom still has nightmares.

196 In the Drink, U-boat service had highest loss rate of any segment of the German forces (but so did the US submarine service, for the US).

Tokutai (kamikaze units) actually probably don't pencil out as high - if you count the many many pilots still alive at the surrender (I almost interviewed one). Obviously those who went on missions were almost all killed.

Breaking: I can report that the deceased mass shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc. is a 15-year-old girl named Natalie Lynn Rupnow.

She carried out the mass shooting in the school library, according to a source. She did not identify as trans.

The teen girl used the name "Sam" online and the username "crossixir." She had an extensive online obsession with school shooters and death, particularly the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Rupnow was a big fan of the KMFDM rock band, which was also referenced by one of the Columbine shooters. (She often wore the shirt of the band.)

Rupnow's online friends identified the X account, which purported to belong to the shooter, soon after news broke of the shooting. The account's last post is of an "okay" hand symbol in the school's bathroom by the library minutes before the shooting.

Natalie Lynn Rupnow is the 15-year-old female student who carried out the mass shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc. A teacher and student were killed. Six others were wounded, two with life-threatening injuries.

A purported "sneak peek" of her manifesto was posted on her Discord account, where she discussed a desire to kill all males in a rant inspired by fringe extremist online culture. A screenshot was posted on X by a person who was her Discord friend. The account also posted a mirror selfie photo of Rupnow.

Rupnow has a long, disturbing online history of being obsessed with school shooters and death. She used the moniker "crossixir" online.

Rupnow's Cash App account is a picture of the Columbine shooters. She had an account on "Watch People Die" where she commented on the videos. Her Spotify playlists featured themes of s—icide and killings.

U-boat losses were so high that there weren't many surviving vets. We used to have a commenter (Capt. ?), from OH I think. His dad *was* such a survivor. But I think he said his dad's service was late-war, and only in the Baltic, which would help be a survivor.

Posted by: Tonypete

I've recently read some "gender-affirming surgery" real horror stories in which the patients literally end up with a cloaca -- MtF vaginoplasty in which they pull a portion of the colon through the perineum wall and make it into an ersatz "vagina" -- but which leaks feces due to botched sutures. Meanhwhile, the re-routed urethra from the ampuptated willy ruptures inside the wound/vagina and leaks through a fissure there -- so that ultimately, the tranny defecates, urinates and gets fucked all in the same hole -- exactly like a bird's cloaca.
