the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.

Eating uninspected food is going to crush supermarkets when food poisoning and E. coli start wiping out brands.
Lawsuits for selling tainted food.
This will kill people. This will not save money or end waste or stop fraud.
Republicans are sadistic bastards.

NOT ALL MODERN DISHWASHERS HAVE GARBAGE DISPOSALS
Just an FYI brcause if youre not aware of it youre gonna have a stinky nasty filter clog to clean. Be sure to check your manual to confirm whether or not your dishwasher has a garbage disposal built in.
this was in the tags of a very funny screenshot and i didnt want to derail there, so i will make a new post: dishwashers manufactured after 2013 take MUCH less water than washing dishes by hand. it seems counterintuitive but it is provably true and has been tested extensively. if you are washing dishes by hand as a way to lower utility bills you are shooting yourself in the foot. dishwashers also sterilize dishes and in general are much much much much cleaner than hand washing, which becomes extra important if you live with anyone who has immune issues, long covid, cancer, etc. if you tried to hand wash your dishes with the temperature possible inside a dishwasher you would get serious burns. it's not physically possible to hand wash dishes and get them cleaner (as in, the amount of bacteria and other contaminants on the surface) than you can with a dishwasher. its almost like an autoclave in there
also do not use sponges to clean things but thats a different post
oh my god i went looking for the sponge bacteria post and found these tags. everyone on this website needs to pay attention in school when they teach you about germ theory. i personally know four people who became permanently crippled from getting basic bacterial food poisoning once. bacteria does in fact make you drop dead, but more often it just makes you permanently ill for the rest of your life. i know "hygiene hypothesis" (being too clean makes you sicker in the long run) was big for a while in the 2000s but its been mostly debunked
it's obvious and inarguable that having a dishwasher at all is a first world thing, and only the wealthy or lucky members of the first world. it's a luxury. what im trying to say is that if you have access to one of these luxury machines, please use it. i run into so many people who have dishwashers and dont use them and then backpat themselves about water saving and cleanliness, both of which are measurably worse with handwashing. its not virtuous or practical or efficient to wash dishes by hand if you have a functional dishwasher.
questions of "laziness" etc can be referred to other discussions of disability vs protestantism and wont be addressed here. but i will mention that i know a few people who have to hand wash and have been able to use a barstool to make being at the sink for long periods of time easier.

I usually stick to vintage (pre-2000s) Breyers and Hartlands, but I got this Weather Girl in a custom fodder lot and wanted to see what I could do with her. So she's now been made over into my fleabitten gray with lots of "bloody" spots; it's my first time adding socks to this colorway, too! Her shading came out perhaps a bit more dramatic than I intended, but I'm not at all upset about it.
She's available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/4346444412/tiarella-custom-breyer-weather-girl-to or drop me a line at lupa(dot)greenwolf(at)gmail(dot)com to purchase directly.

SO COOL

I covered this jar of old pond water to keep mosquitoes out, didn't realize there were that many mosquito larvae already inside...


An entire generation apparently


....who couldn't get out, but still mated and made another generation.
It is true that they don't actually require blood to at least lay SOME eggs. I always thought maybe they still needed some nectar but I guess not, the adults are ready to mate the instant they emerge so I guess in an enclosed space they find mates well before they run out of nutrient fuel.

I can never open this. I wonder how long it can keep going. Larvae just feed on bacteria and algae, which are fed by a combination of sunlight and the dead adults.

Just happens to be a jar I'd put this custom sticker on when I was keeping leeches in it. (centuries old japanese art of a "bug" that causes illness)
