It is rare, but not something to completely ignore as a possibility

I'm not sure how it works in every state, but in mine rabies testing is covered by the state but kind of requires a doctor visit, (and the animal to be tested) to get the ball rolling. I think you could also go straight to the sheriff. All of that to say i went to the ER for a minor bat bite, and to make my PSA statement that if there is even a sliver of possibility that rabies is possible, don't ever assume that a minor animal bite is no big deal.

I feel like Europe would offer way better finds than the US. I've only ever used one to locate electric lines, but i definitely can't imagine discovering any of your impressive finds in the USA especially where I'm at in the Midwest

This is a completely random story but the post made me remember and i wanted to share.

In college about 12 years ago i got cited for underage alcohol consumption and got an email saying i had to meet with an advisor to discuss the situation. I slept through the meeting and basically said exactly that in an email to the advisor who replied like wtf okay we'll reschedule, and then i never heard anything about it ever again.

I initially thought it was the Pokemon logo at the bottom and was fairly confused

Missed the whole scape not just one individual bulb I'm guessing? My brain was struggling to piece together what i was looking at lol

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a garlic plant grows some form of a "seed" head, that will have miniature round bulbs in it if they aren't clipped off that, it's my understanding, when they are planted they'll grow like this in the first year and into a normal garlic bulb year two. I've never experimented enough to know if I'm correct, but if my info is correct I'd guess either one of those got mixed in by mistake, or if your planting in the same spot as the year prior one might've just fallen off.

If you lived somewhere where the GOP candidate is going to get 65 percent of the vote basically no matter what, and in the GOP primary you had an incumbent, somewhat average, right wing conservative that you've seen work across the aisle in the state legislator ruining against a hard core maga nut job, anti vaccine, anti public schools, openly racist etc. Do you think registering as a Republican to vote for the incumbent in that primary sounds like an okay idea? You can still vote for the Democrat and make your voice heard there at the general election even though it's essentially guaranteed he loses.

Or is the argument against this that if the crazy maga guy wins the primary there's a slightly better chance the Democrat can win? I'd call it unlikely where I'm at, but could see tighter districts working that way.

I would be voting for the better GOP candidate in the primary hoping they win, and likely the Dem come general election, but since I'm in a red area I'd expect the Dem to lose but maybe help pick the lesser of two evils for the GOP?

I've been considering changing my registration to Republican specifically for primaries. I'm in SD, and the Republican almost always wins so I feel I'd have more impact trying to push the right left and can still vote however I want in the general.

Pumping blood to your organs even though you are fat!

 

My wife and I started a new garden this year, and it ended up bigger than we needed so we dispersed some old seeds we had in the extra area. Ended up being fun and are harvesting some extra produce, but there's a few plants I don't recognize. I'm unsure if some of them are even seeds we planted or being new ground that was once my aunt's yard we uncovered some extra plants.

I'm new to linking albums so someone let me know if something doesn't work.

I'm guessing there isn't at the moment, but I can't stand how overloaded the feed gets with the copy and pasted posts from reddit.

I get that a lot of communities here are small and are trying to add content to up engagement, but, for example, I'll see 5 plus posts from r/aitah in a row with no comments and I don't see why many people would even consider replying when the OOP isn't even here to see it.

I'm actually considering blocking some of the communities that have a lot of this, but don't want them gone once their original Lemmy posts get more frequent.
