My optometrist is C.F. eye care

Don't drive like my brother.

But check out this awesome ai recommendation I got when searching for Halloween 2026... (Fuck everything about this btw, no sarcasm)

Love that my circuitry is simple enough that I don't need to worry about it being broken in the update.

I'd get a plecostimus, you'll want a tank, heater, water pump/aerator (especially if you get a deep-ish tank), gravel, bucket and some plastic tubing (the last 2 for gravel cleaning/water cycling)

You should let your water mellow and do some chemical tests on it before adding fish to it, you might want to start with some throw away fish or particularly hardy fish.

Don't over populate your aquarium, don't rush too many fish into it too quickly.

Another decent option is a beta fish in a planter aquarium, you won't need to do barley any maintenance with that. They love hanging out in the roots of plants

Where are they taking the critic??

That nermal, will it ever stop being so cute?

I'm very happy with my 24 solterra, it's pretty much Toyota, but it's the best performing Subaru I've ever had. A shame there aren't more Americans interested in buying them.

We had a loaner vehicle for a weekend, the Crosstrek wilderness, and I was talking with the car brained boss about getting the solterra back, I told him I miss the power, he heard "I'm going to miss the power" thinking the internal combustion engine was in any way an improvement to the all electric, I told him besides the engine noise there is nothing the ice does higher numbers in than the all- electric.

It's half the price of most new cars, and it blows everything but the highest performing cars (and other electric vehicles) out of the water.

Subaru has had an all electric option in the States for 4 years now,

Puppy chow, Chex cereal covered with peanut butter and milk chocolate, coated in powdered sugar. Absolutely delicious, easy to make, and reserved only for potlucks

Microwave chocolate chips until soft (try stirring them after about a minute in the microwave, they sometimes keep their shape despite being melted.)

Add smooth peanut butter to your taste, microwave again for another 30 to 60 seconds, stir to combine, pour in chex mix, gently stir to coat the cereal

grab a gallon size ziplock, add excessive powdered sugar to ziplock (the extra will fall off the cereal into the bottom of the bowl), add chocolate peanut butter coated cereal to the ziplock, seal ziplock and shake the snot out of it,

Pour into your potluck bowl or take the bag as is.

I've always loved with with a sweet chili sauce on top, haven't really tried jam, I'll give your concoction a shot next time, what jam do you recommend, I'm thinking apricot?

You're saying the raw milk ivermectin people are not going to be spiking their alcohol with who knows what?

From "Keith" in the comments, "You bought a Cyber truck because you wanted attention. You're getting attention. What's your beef?"

Couldn't agree more

Okay, as a biologist it really upsets me how that phrase is written off. I did an impromptu half hour lecture for my wife about how significant "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" is,

The mitochondria is what ties everything on this planet together, it's the one thing that ties all life together, it is the exact same mechanism in plants as it is in animals, it takes the same ingredients and does the same function, and comes from the same origin.

There is no chain in our DNA that codes for the mitochondria, it exists outside of our DNA, it has no relationship with our DNA, it only fuels reading DNA and it's decoding and replication, but it isn't included in our genetics. It replicates itself, it exists as a separate entity, and it acts as the functioning unit for all energy within the cell.

It would be like if when a child was born their lungs were provided by an outside source and had the same genetic material as everyone else's lungs. Oh and puppy lungs, and crab lungs, and avocado lungs, and grass lungs, every single living thing on this plant has the same lung genetic material. And it has no clue that it serves this function, all it knows is ADP goes in, ATP goes out, and ATP is energy that fuels all function of all life.

And it comes from the friggin mitochondria.

Please be impressed with that little hitch hiker, it is the powerhouse that powers your neurons, grows the vegetables you eat, and makes life happen on earth.

How will we know something extraterrestrial comes our way? They'll have their own mitochondria, because something needs to power their cells, and it won't be the same as ours.

Writing off the mitochondria from biology is like writing off the exchange of goods in economics, or doing physics without the concept of mass, or art without feeling. There is nothing more basic, more fundamentally important to biology than the existence of the mitochondria, and it's role as the powerhouse of the cell.

MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL. That you know that makes me happy.

And in other things you've read about on the Internet, I have a 14 inch penis.

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

We're entirely fucked, and this seems to be the only thread about it, it's not gotten much activity. Either people are writing their paragraphs (thanks for not using AI to make your opinions for you), or we're all feeling about as motivated as I am right now (or less so?) or people just aren't going to engage....

I've never felt worse for my country than I do today, and I thought it couldn't get worse than yesterday, at least tomorrow is looking up right?

corruption of evidence controlled by the party alleged to have done the crime should always be taken as an admission of guilt. Don't want to be assumed guilty? Get better data systems, especially if it seems to only happen at key moments.

This picture should have been so much more than what was needed to eject his ass from the white house. Obama used the wrong mustard and the right flips the table. Carter couldn't have a peanut farm. This guy and his family were shilling for a Mexican bean company from the fucking oval office.

A fucking bean company

The American social safety net fails again. At least this time it was mostly contained.

Condolences to those who will remember him.
