Bro, it’s 12 days full of fowl. It’s birds all the way down. Like some seasonal 12 layer turducken.

The only thing that raised peasant standard of living was the death of the nobles and decay of entrenched hereditary hierarchies.

Imagine the day heaven sees the front line of the never ending war against evil go quiet and expect demon tricks, only to find Hell focused on a new front fighting shoggoth and Old Ones.

There are things older than good and evil.

Everything I have to give is food. A box of See’s Candy, some southern style flaky biscuits and breakfast gravy, a box of farm fresh fruit from a road stand. A taco truck taco and horchata.

Everything I have to give is food and it will be a good memory.

What is political here? Expose explain yourself

Imagine being a historian looking at masonry older than everything else, outlasting 2000 years of weather, and thinking that what we have now is better and the Romans can’t mix concrete. Absolute foolishness.

Were they previously waiting for an unarmed attack?

Major projects will continue because the contracts say what is expected and when. Voiding those is opening up major partners to very valid lawsuits laid out by the contract. The one thing Republicans and Democrats both respect are contracts. Heritage Foundation is full of shit.

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I listen to the audiobook at least once a year. It’s the history of a lot of science.

Imagine living your whole life around tools that you never use but will make your life better if you did? The only barrier to happiness would be doing something about it.

Love that New Mexico predates Mexico. It’s so full of hope and optimism.

The LD50 for capsaicin in mice is around 200mg/kg. The Flaming Anus chocolate bar is 52 grams according to Amazon. That chocolate is also not good for mice, the theobromine causes a similar toxicity in dogs.

There is a very real possibility that the mouse is either dead or at least has learned a very hard lesson about eating candy from strangers.
