I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.
Or Prince of Egypt which has one of the best soundtracks and great animation. I’m not a Christian but even I know about the damn plague that got those little Egyptian kids.
Arkansas grows primarily rice and soybeans, so I don’t understand why it says anything about cows. There are some cow farms, sure, but by and large it is rice and soybeans. And honestly, it’s mostly rice. They grow almost half of the country’s crop.
I like shopping in book stores. There’s something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can’t get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my...
Amazon does not make any profit from their books. They are able to sell them cheaply because they sell them at a loss. They weren’t even profitable for a long time and maintained thanks to investors. Basically, Bezos sold the idea of the future of his store’s worth. And it worked.
Sure, but in that previous time period, they didn’t make a profit but were able to destroy the brick and mortar bookstore. So I guess it would be more honest to say they demolished the bookselling industry and now can argue for whatever deals they want because the only other bookstores are weakened.
It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn’t think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It’s nice when kindness is kindness and there’s no underlying meaning.
Lexus cars. Every time some terrible driving is happening around me, it is one of them. I literally cannot count how many times I’ve almost been hit by one of them not stop at streetlights or stop signs or not slowing down for the pedestrian (me!) in the crosswalk. That commercial where the lexus driver drives over the man’s papers just solidified what sort of asshole drives those cars.
Like all social media, you have to curate it. I follow hashtags for cats, books, writing, fandoms, etc. The rage is minimum then because my homepage doesn’t have politics or news. I actually do follow a couple of news sources, but their stuff is surrounded by an ocean of fun things so it’s not nearly as bad.
We recently adopted a 9 week old kitten. We took her to the vet who confirmed she is dewormed, and that she is due for more shots 4 weeks from the date of her last shots....
it appears that the kitten is partially vaccinated? i assume at the initial vaccination they tested for the major diseases that affect cats and it came back negative, so introduction is likely fine. i am not a vet, but i have done this multiple times in my households and have felt comfortable after the first round of vaccines since my other cats are all up-to-date and have a flea/tick regimen.
initial introduction should be super slow anyway. unless both cats are chill, they shouldn't be too close to one another for extended periods and without supervision.
