Squirrels aren’t a typical vector for rabies. There was no indication the squirrel was exposed to a rabies vector, like a bat, any more than a household pet or human.

It bit a NY cop though, that’s what happened.

Squirrels tend not to be vectors for rabies. I got shredded by a squirrel my cat brought in that I thought was dead. The doctor shrugged me off and sent me home with some antibiotics.

Squirrels don’t consume rabies vectors, so they’d have to be bitten by a bat with rabies first if they have it.

I actually kind of enjoy powerlines and junction boxes. There’s a level of engineering that is both rough and delicate that is magnified by how orderly and chaotic they are alike.

Now if the power lines are at the expense of a view through trees, that’d be more a bummer. Likewise if the trees remain that’s a hazard waiting to happen, which is also a bummer.

Buried lines and conduit pipe are preferable in most cases and share similar aesthetic characteristics.

Well the argument being made here is that the campaign’s strategy actively depressed turnout.

So not doing normalizing the opposition and implementing the policies your voting base tends to oppose.

Yeah it is definitely a fascist problem.

I mean I would love to believe there are trns of millions of silent far left protest abstentions, but the fact of the matter is seventy million plus motherfuckers actively went for the overt fascists. Tens of millions more didn’t care enough to at least go third party. This was a turnout problem, not a protest vote problem.

I’d hit up a Golden Corral before an Applebees.

But seriously I infinitely prefer the non-brand local diner, usually named after the street it is on, over just about any sit-down chain.

The complimentary nature is recessive requiring both positive and THE qualifiers rather than any negative or A qualifier.

After six months the tires are sent to the city dump.

City Waste Landfill? City Police Precinct? Easy mistake when all these departments just look the same, you know.

I had an old lady get emotional over a government subsidy offered to help reduce some of her septic system expenses. It was the first time in a long time the government ever helped her she said. It felt good to help.

Then I had another old lady tell me she was going to die and it was going to be my fault and I deserved to go to hell because that same rebate program ended and there was no funding left.

One step forward one step back.

Where’s the lamb sauce? Where’s the lamb saaauuce???

Yeah our healthcare facilities close by 8. Which sucks since it forces everyone to the also underfunded and understaffed ER a 30 minute drive away after dark.

One of the most consistent themes with furries I have noticed is unapologetic sex positivity.

That burns a lot of folks who insist sex is shameful and something to apologize for.

I think that’s precisely why there is such a need to blame the border, actually.

Well then there’s the forced labor.

Why stop emphasizing right before a very critical point that is obvious:

which would come at great cost to economically devastated Lebanon.

Hezbollah is not in a position to benefit from any altercations. It is why they aren’t being the aggressor. There’s just Israeli offensives taking place. Remember Israel is still also doing the same things in the West Bank they’ve been doing.

The absolute and incredible disparity of capabilities cannot be ignored. They aren’t justification of any, but justified damnation for those in power and control.

RIP Taiwanese electronic device export economy.

Saudi wasn’t investing billions in a social media platform.

Saudi was spending billions to have a social media platform killed.

Eventually you get to “Maybe next holiday.” Which turns into “Maybe next vacation.”

And then you realize you’re burning PTO on various crisises than a vacation will never come.

So that’s developing into “Maybe if I am lucky to retire…”

That, I recall, was corporate Subway’s strategy with franchises: they’d open a corporate store next to any successful franchise and run them out if they didn’t incorporate the franchisee into a store manager.
