TIL ocelots are native to the US.
I have a friend who is too beautiful (and unfortunately meek) for her own good, attracting stalker types with horrifying regularity. This is a great change.
How the hell. I'm in Seattle and watched it and it was so faint, barely visible at all. You wouldn't have even noticed it if you weren't looking for it.
Someone trim that dog's nails.
Damn, you had a better view of it than I did up here in Washington (State).
That is waaaaaaaay too much for me to remotely consider.
Probably dumped them. Guess I could be worse....
Hope it's available to stream then as well.
No, it's your opinion.
I love this movie and have seen it many times, but I'm not sure rewatching it makes it all that much different. Do you have any examples to share?
Just FYI, the striped pole attached to the hydrant is so it can be found under snow.
Sounds like he might not necessarily have intended to kill himself so much as to just burn the house down.
It's not as though they're not given the opportunity to become a state. They have voted in the past for things to stay as-is. If I recall, it was a pretty close vote, however.
Yeah, but once you get them a few years older, you need to start explaining the less useful things taxes go into and how divisive the entire topic is.
Given the way it is portrayed on the news, I thought it already was practically leveled. Or does this mean extra leveled? Like salt the earth.
Okay, but to be fair, school does not teach about taxes.
Probably because if they did, they would have a neverending supply of rebellious little adults on their hands, from either side of the political sphere.
This is not very helpful when you're making little cog workers and soldier yes men.
You don't fucking say.
It's almost like switching from monarchism and aristocracy to oligarchism and capitalism didn't really change much of anything. I'm very shocked.
It appears to just be in the sink, but fine droplets can travel farther than you would think.
It's better not to rinse chicken before cooking. Droplets can contaminate nearby surfaces.
Your average Democrat is unlikely to be supportive of this. And just like your average voter of any political leaning, they're even more likely to be unaware of it.
Ernest needs to quickly delegate or this instance will quickly die
I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case.
Reassuring us that things will improve at some point someday probably isn't enough, and I both moderate and donate to him every month, so I'm a pretty "serious" kbinner. I'm sure we've already lost many people who are less dedicated and just want something that works.
This site has been nearly unusable for days. There was the one day recently where it was entirely unusable. Everybody who uses this platform is an 'internet person". We need a platform which is (mostly) fully functional (mostly) every day.
Kbin needs to be fixed.
Ernest needs to give up on this being a one-man show and invite other moderators and contributors. Even I am looking at mbin because usability has just been so terrible that it's not worth the frustration

Caps(?) for upside-down galvanized fence?
tl;dr: Neighbors' galvanized fence is upside-down and very sharp and pokey. How can I make it not be?
To start with, the neighbor is almost never home and therefore hard to contact. Also, they only bought their property last year and probably don't even realize they own the fence. Anyway.
As you may know, galvanized fences have a top and a bottom. The bottom has sharp bits which dig into the ground while the top is more rounded off.
When I bought my house, there was already a galvanized fence in place between my house and my neighbor's. I'm no fan of these fences in particular, but that's fine. Except that I later noticed that it had been installed upside-down, meaning that the top of the 3-ftish fence is covered in sharp spikes, while the safe end has been buried underground.
When I was younger, I had a dog who had her belly horrifically torn open while jumping over an upside-down galvanized fence, and I have two dogs, so this is a serious concern of mine. While my dogs have fortu

Gifts for young kids who are really into airplanes?
I've got a nephew who is 3-something years old. He's really into airplanes. All of the ideas of gifts I've found have either been books (I give him books, but I'd like to give him something interactive) or toys that are way above his age level.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good gift for a 3 to 4-year-old who loves airplanes?
Edit: I just want to give a big thanks to all of you for being so helpful. I've got some great ideas for Christmas, his birthday, and beyond if he remains fascinated by planes. Very helpful.

Since kbin's maintenance earlier, I haven't been able to view magazine info in order to subscribe, unsubscribe, or block. Was there a change or is this a bug?
When I click (on mobile) on the kbin logo, it used to pull up information about the magazine/community, which had options such as subscribing and blocking. Now it just brings me to kbin.social.
