Hold on… let’s run this through the Bat-puter. Juicy Fruit starts with a J… Joker starts with a J. And Fuck you batman starts with an F. Fruit starts with an F. The Riddler must have taken over Juicy Fruit at The Jorker’s behest!

hey look! a squirrel!

oh look a cute companion cube i wonder who made it

IP lawyers everywhere

ha, if i tried to make “air” they’d all be blowing the wrong direction because i’d fuck up the wiring somehow. yes i know the plugs are supposed to go one way I am that talented of a fool.

it was nice for a few years. i’m not sure whether it was better enforcement or mass trauma after the town nearly burned down, but all the nighttime fireworks just didn’t happen for a couple years.

wait i missed the unclear phrasing. i want to hear the unclear phrasing

and your assumptions are wrong! too bad, you don’t get to play again

Doesn’t have to be deep red. Sacramento is fairly purple and they’ve been at it too. Same as every year.

We do, but it takes more than fireworks.

One night a year… Heh. It’s been going on for a month already at my sisters’ place

Fireworks start early then I guess

Careful dude. The folk on here really don’t like being told that

Oh gouda

yeah, I (USA) have been trying to get in to see this internal medicine specialist in Stockton for five years now. His wait list is that long.

We have a professional relationship as well so i know he’s not just blowing me off, but i’m getting tired boss. I think he’s just triaged me to the end of the list (i survived this long) until I tell them I’m out of patience.

Mechanical contraction of veins in your lower legs from muscle contractions (walking generally, but could just be clenching) is what “pumps” that blood back to the heart. Once blood enters the capillaries, the blood pressure is quite low and not sufficient to return to the heart.

your legs are legitimately like a second heart. I was passing out because i just gave blood and had to sprint to the toilet and give some more. Well, on the toilet my vision started going grey. I’ve blacked out from low blood pressure 3 times in my life, I really didn’t want to do it on the toilet. I’m not pulling an Elvis. So i flexed all my leg muscles and (while sitting) kind of jogged my legs in place. It got the blood back up to my brain long enough for my capillaries and heart to catch up. if a dipshit like me can do it, so can you

and those small vials are sealed vacuums (or close to it. we pretend) to make the blood go in easier.

when they break out the 100mL syringe, you know you’re in for it.

fortunately downstream is the ocean. the sediment issue on the farmland, that’s the one that we’re not sure about, but there are a few hundred thousand people living in the floodplain and fewer people get fed off that farmland (which hasn’t been doing great in the last 70 years since… well that’s a history lesson and a farming lesson. long story short, if people have been doing something for a very, very long time, it’s worth thinking about the consequences a long time before you change it. but since they already did, you kind of have to play the hand you’re dealt, not the hand that was dealt twenty years ago.

you’re projecting again, dude. whenever i feel like i lack respect i just look at my [stuff you’re going to think i made up, so pearls before swine, you know?]

I’ve got a fast connection so i don’t have to wait
