We’ve had a change in places

 

[Cody Webster]

I do the same. I've worn holes into my 3ish year old under armour socks within the last year. What changed? Moving to my mainly un-carpeted new house. These socks kept for years at my parents house, mostly carpet. 6-8 months in the new house and I'm replacing them all

My under armour socks are holding up pretty well in our mainly non-carpeted house. I probably got them in March or so. If they get holes in them, I'm not upset because they were like $20 for a 6 pack whereas bombas are like $100 for a 10 pack

And also cold clammy sweat for some of us. Unfortunately

Yeah I'm interested to see how my new ones hold up, now that they're exclusively used in this house

Snoop has had diarrhea for the past 3 days but he has bowel sounds, is eating and drinking like normal, and is acting normal. Frequency has also gone down within the last 24 hours so hopefully we turn a corner.

Of course 2 nights ago Girl and I both worked. Had to scrub 3 carpet spots when we got home

Side note he takes hot spot meds which warrant yearly blood work. We took him to the vet for blood and nails. We can't do nails at home, and to facilitate it at the vet he needs max doses of 2 chill out meds. This dog will still scream in the back while they clip his nails (don't let him fool you it's all show, they don't even need to muzzle him) but then they'll stab him in the jugular to take blood and he doesn't care. He's unreal. Needless to say the vet office is getting a couple dozen cookies for putting up with this monster

Also, did you know that Oreos are vegan?

Not if you're eating them right and dunking them in milk.

A certain esteemed Whaler was trying to tell me otherwise.

@kudymen? I certainly haven't said anything.

watching extreme e championship highlights..this shit is crazy

What I struggle with is why certain levels of the government are so against releasing information about UAP's. I say that knowing that releasing that information could and would be world altering. It would be faith shaking for large swaths of the world...but if you have information and there is nothing to hide and at least some of the information has no direct impact to National Security, then why hide it.

Seems like certain Senators/Representatives with ties to Defense Contractors are leading the push to suppress the Schumer Ammendment. It seems fairly clear that the whistleblowers and those pushing for transparency believe that the CIA has a crash retrieval program that essentially sees them turning over recovered crash material to third party defense contractors to backwards engineer.

I want to believe they have recovered craft (reports of 9 recently surfaced) or material that is non human origin, but then the vast majority of reports/sightings are BS with different explanations maybe light projections, advanced drones, fishing nets, weather balloons, etc... but some of the reports and video evidence seems to repute that.

If there is a craft capable of hovering and then immediately going 28,000mph in less then 10 seconds, we should know what it is.

There are other theories/speculation, simulation theory, Future AI, etc...

My cynical assumption is that disclosure threatens their personal enrichment scheme somehow. Seems like the simplest answer, too.

By not allowing transparency, it just creates more speculation

I wouldn't be surprised if disclosure somehow implicates them in other ways as well. Also the fact that it would show the government has been lying to people for decades about it, which then begs the question of what else have they been hiding from the people.

Seems like disclosure is going to eventually happen either way. I just want to know what the hell it all is, the speculation is all over the place.

I can't believe we're still doing this in 2023. People will speculate no matter what anyone does. Research being public doesn't stop people who don't understand the science behind vaccines from not trusting them because an idiot who hosted an MTV game show 30 years ago tells them so. It doesn't stop people from thinking the moon landing was a hoax. You can't solve willful ignorance by any means.
