A lot of people love their lawn toys (and hate municipal workers and well draining streets I guess).
I lived in Massachusetts for a while and the city I lived in directed people to blow/rake their leaves into the road so a giant vacuum truck could collect them.
- Comment on As Microsoft lays off thousands and jacks up Game Pass prices, former FTC chair says I told you so: The Activision-Blizzard buyout is 'harming both gamers and developers' 1 week ago:
I don’t know many of the details of the price hike, but my first thought was that ms might be trying to put pressure on tariffs via consumer outrage. If people don’t see prices going up they won’t get upset, and absorbing the costs obviously hurts the bottom line.
If my theory is true it’s pretty cowardly to try to force it via consumer sentiment rather than using their considerable weight to fight the bully themselves though.

It’s hard to speculate, but the cdc should take a look at this strong correlation!!

Agreed people shouldn’t be drinking it, pasteurization makes it safe for everyone’s immune system. Especially important considering the state of most factory farms.
BUT you’re probably remembering right. I’ve had milk straight from the cow (and cream and buttermilk separated from a just milked cow, as well as butter churned from said cream). Buttermilk especially tastes like quite different from the stuff in the grocery store.

This picture of Neil on the moon with his helmet off and the earth in the background CLEARLY required professional camera equipment that was NOT on the manifest for the launch. Checkmate.

You probably already know this but for the others, different species of Bowerbirds have different color preferences! There is some speculation these preferences might relate to their own coloring. Also some speculation this might be due to regional traditions.
The Satin Bowerbird prefers blue, both the male and female have blue eyes and the male has that metallic black (almost blue-looking) feathers that some ravens have.

The Barrowbird’s Barrow is not a nest or a home, think more like a box from which a potential mate will watch him do a little one man show. It’s a temporary display.
- Comment on Hello there 3 weeks ago:
Totally off base for the meme anyway since the Barrowbird’s Barrow is not the equivalent of a house/nest and is much more akin to a little opera box from which the potential mate will watch him perform a little dance.

- Comment on 'Sneakflation': how tariffs are gradually raising costs for American consumers 1 month ago:
Coupled with a lower dollar too so it takes (~10%) more dollars to pay for an item even without inflation.
I think people are being a bit slow to notice because the low dollar also makes the stock market look like it’s up 10% since we usually look at it in terms of USD exchange. Makes people feel like the economy is doing fine.

- Comment on Israel | An IDF soldier just exposed that Israel deliberately let October 7 happen 2 months ago:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive
Israeli newspapers including Haaretz, ABC News and the UN’s Commission of Inquiry have pointed out that during the October 7 attacks the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used. The IDF was ordered to prevent “at all costs” the abduction of Israeli civilians or soldiers, possibly leading to the death of a large number of Israeli hostages.[6][7][8][9]
- Comment on Israel | An IDF soldier just exposed that Israel deliberately let October 7 happen 2 months ago:
I mean Israel has all but admitted it. Combined with ordering soldiers to shoot their own civilians ‘to save them from becoming hostages,’I have no idea how Israelis are okay with their government sacrificing them even if they concur with their government on the genocide generally.
