Last time I saw it was on 5g of mushrooms and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Dating apps work fine if you know how to date. Met my wife on PoF. Never had any issues getting dates on any of the programs and I'm a 5/10 at best.

If you have a very unique profile and provide thoughtful engagement to potential dates, you will find a partner eventually. I know it can feel like a slog sometimes, but it's still a lot less bullshit than you'd get dating random strangers the old way.

I would love to see this happen, but only if the wall was built exclusively through the labour of the people who proposed it. The Canada-USA border is the largest unguarded land border on the planet for reasons beyond the goodwill between our nations. Features along it like the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains make building a wall impossible. Thankfully reality doesn't matter to Republicans so they could be convinced to try.

I keep a light up plastic sword beside my bed for this very reason. The same fun for a tenth of the cost and it hangs nicely on my towel rack while I pee.

There are some baby sturgeons that Germany hopes will result in a stable population. However it will be decades before anyone can tell if that was successful. That isn't at all comparable to the Americas where somewhat stable populations have persisted. We're talking about creatures that live longer than humans and reach sexual maturity later. There is a very real chance that predators and invasive species will prevent or otherwise complicate any reintroduction efforts.

To say there are wild sturgeon in Germany when there hasn't been a known wild birth since 1964 and the few they have in their waterways were all captive bred releases from caviar farms is disingenuous.

My initial google-fu did not indicate as much and your comment made me research as to why. These animals take decades to reach sexual maturity and the last time a wild sturgeon was known to have reproduced in Germany was in 1964. So while they have been reintroduced, no one can say for sure yet if that reintroduction has been successful.

You can actually have more fun with sturgeon than the Germans!Sturgeon still live naturally throughout North America but are extinct in Germany. They only get to experience the glory of these dinosaur fish through pictures, we have them in our rivers and lakes. They're one of our most interesting freshwater species as well, check em out if you enjoy learning about nature!

Good luck with that. It has been over a decade since I bought a Capcom game without a discount of 40% or higher. Raise prices or reduce discounts and I'm sure I won't be the only customer lost.

Ceiling cats are pretty rare but if you live in a populated area, keep an eye on the trash. I found a Li Hua kitten in my dumpster and I have three friends who are raising their own dumpster kitties. Seems pretty common in major cities and suburbs.

This is because the best kitties choose the best humans for them. Mine jumped out of a dumpster into my arms instead of a ceiling.

I'm amazed people are using it. Having an AI call me by name and failing at playing any music I enjoy was equal parts creepy and pathetic.

Swimming, cooking, and self defense are the big ones I always bring up. All three will likely be really useful throughout your life.

You may not feel the need to learn to defend yourself depending on how safe your area is, but I still think its more important than people realize. Learning the physical skills as well as deescalation techniques taught in martial arts can easily save your life as well as others.
