That's what the top of the dryer is for, I'm pretty sure.

The stingray ended up being sick and not actually pregnant. They were possibly seeing cysts, not eggs. Or possibly cysts and eggs and the illness caused the embryos to abort and were eaten before anyone noticed them.

I just use my washing machine as my dirty laundry basket. Take it off and not gonna wear it again? Toss it in the washer (or at least in a pile vaguely in front of the washing machine until I get around to actually putting them in.....)
Though, I have also ruined many towels this way because apparently zippers and stuff tend to want to rip out the looped fibers on them.

Cacao prices went up sharply a couple-few years ago, but have gone back down the last year or two.
It's part of why Dubai Chocolate everything was a trend. Use a fraction of the chocolate but charge a premium? Nearly every chocolate producer was all over that.

That's fair. There are some available in other markets but they're definitely fewer and further between.

Some phones do have built in radio receivers. If that's genuinely a feature you want, they're available.

Claude Code's creator is sick of the phrase 'vibe coding.' Suggest your alternative here.
Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

It was probably their own fault they got smooshed by The Hand, anyway. Obviously, they did heinous things no one knows about or The Hand wouldn't have chosen them for smooshing.

Nah, it had the purpose of doing a genocide on Palestine. It desensitizing people to Venezuela is just a highly hoped for bonus, per those pushing it.

TBF, an investor could make a thousand good investments and I'd still regard their opinion as worthless (here's lookin' at you, Buffet.) Being "good" at figuring out which stocks and companies you can exploit the most from the actually productive economy doesn't make you smart or in anyway good.

Option 1) The honey nut squash vine itself will have a slightly prickly stem, the pumpkin will have a softer hairy-prickly vine skin and the cucumber will have relatively smooth vines (or the most prickly, depending on species of cucumber).
Option 2) Trellis all of it and if you notice any growing into a pumpkin shape, add a sling support tied to the trellis to hold the weight of the fruit.
Option 3) Just let them all ramble around and harvest what seems to be working out.

The FAA is set to start cutting flights to contend with delays and staffing shortages
Reply in thread
Upvoted you, but they frequently fly out of smaller/private airports that don't have direct ATC control anyway, so it's unlikely that's a significant contributor to a solution. Though I definitely agree it should be done at whatever scale it can be to improve general conditions.

Microsoft Exec Suggests AI Agents Will Need to Buy Software Licenses - Business Insider
This gets close to an idea I heard long ago that I think has some merit.
Hire an employee? You must not only pay them, but cover taxes to have them there. Buy a robot to replace them? It's a business expense, no taxes!
Okay, pay taxes for your robot usage. Use that money to fund UBI, social programs and/or retraining people for other jobs.

So much this. You can fix blatant bugs sometimes and have people whine because it breaks their flow to have it work correctly.
What do you mean you made it so it no longer freezes for 20 seconds after clicking the Q-button?! I count on that pause to ensure my J-Flame comes at the right time! How dare you?!
