lol, maybe. Yeah, turkeys are cool. They can see 270 field of view (vs our 180) and see sharper than humans, like Eagles. They see extra color, including on the UV spectrum. They hear more acutely than humans, including lower frequency and greater distance. They can run 25 mph, have powerful legs, and can impale you with their spurs. And they can fly 55 mph in short bursts.
Texas has a lot of "official" animals; a state animal (the longhorn, an imported species), a state "small mammal" (armadillo), bird (Mockingbird, same as Tennessee), reptile (horny-toad, and I'll be Goddammed if I ever call it a "horned lizard"), insect (Monarch butterfly; as a migratory species, I kinda have to call bullshit on this one), and fish (Guadalupe Bass). Don't ask me how I know this stuff, just take my word for it.
My dad and I were topo'ing a farm for a new building. They had turkeys and my Dad had an in-mouth turkey call in his truck. He and those turkeys talked for hours.
The people of Arizona chose the scorpion as the state animal that slyly hides in somebody’s Jordan 3’s to cause them lower leg paralysis. Scorpions are one of the few insects I honestly admire. Evolution turned them into bionic tanks.
We have Southern Devil Scorpions on our NC mountain property. I'd have never known if I didn't join the town Facebook page, every few months people ask for exterminator recommendations. I want to catch some and have scorpion fights.
It’s about fucking time. It took two years for the shit-ass Aurora police to try and cover-up and worm their way out of murdering an innocent kid and they almost did it. Hope these fuckers are miserable for the rest of their lives. Worst police department in the continent.
Jesus, my wife gets ketamine for her CRPS. That drug has no place as a chemical restraint for police, whether administered by paramedics or not. It shouldn't even be on the ambulance, it can't be used to save a life, only end one.
The cops in that city would steal the pennies off a dead woman’s eyes. The people of Aurora would be better off having the Taliban patrol it’s streets.
This was in the coronavirus thread, but I couldn't let this go because of how much it aggravated me. I'm fucking tired of selfish assholes who get free pass because there are enough vocal pseudo-libertarians who won't shut the fuck up about "muh rights". Nevermind the fact that one of the tenants of libertarianism is to "pursue their own lives so long as they respect the equal rights of others." source. Which, last I checked, meant respecting the right of other people to not risk having to deal with the physical, mental and emotional harm this virus could cause them and their family. Society has no problem penalizing drunk assholes who get behind the wheel, let alone when they manage to kill a van full of nuns on their way to an orphanage when they inevitably crash. Why is society failing to see how otherwise healthy yet unvaccinated fuckheads who wander around and get people killed is any different? Is it because these fuckheads don't get to immediately see the result of their selfish behavior like a drunk driver gets to see dismembered body parts after his crash?
I’m unclear on what point you’re trying to have us debate, and also unclear why you moved it out of the Covid thread. And if this is just a rant, well, you also know where that goes.
can we at least start criminally prosecuting unvaccinated individuals who get others sick who then die? Maybe that will change the tune of the people who have a so-called "libertarian streak" (which is fucking annoying, because I actually do, in the "do no harm to others" way). Don't want the shot? Okay, but if as a consequence of this retarded decision you get someone else sick, they can go after you in civil court for medical bills and pain and suffering. And the cops can go after you for attempted murder.
https://abcnews-go-com.cdn.ampproje...icted-misconduct-ahmaud-arbery-death-79797816 This is wonderful to see. Prosecutor indicted for shielding the shooters from charges. These guys mounted up in the back a pickup and hunted that young kid down. They should have been in cuffs immediately, without question.
Anyone that's watched the news lately has heard of the missing woman Gabby Petito. They found and just identified her body in Grand Teton Nat'l Park. Last I heard her boyfriend is still hiding in the Florida swamps. My guess is they'll find his body too, unless a gator eats it.
I actually just caught up on the whole thing today. The protection his family is providing him is insane.
I hope a gator eats him alive. This is one of the few times you'll see me wish a vicious death upon anyone.
