We’re actually doing pretty good right now, drought wise! Over 80% of California isn’t considered in a drought, and what is in a drought is at the lowest level (D0, abnormally dry).
So, theoretically, this year shouldn’t be particularly terrifying during the Santa Anas.
A shit ton of countries got involved in the war (“coalition of the willing”):
Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Palau, Panama, the Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Rwanda, Singapore, Slovakia, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Tonga, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
Those were all more minor players, with these as the major:
Australia: 2,000 invasion, Poland: 200 invasion—2,500 peak, Spain: 1,300 invasion, United Kingdom: 46,000 invasion, United States: 150,000 to 250,000 invasion.
TIL. I thought they were just related in the way cabbage and broccoli are related, not that summer squash is literally just an immature gourd. Dunno how this knowledge escaped me when I ate a stupid amount of summer squash as a kid.
I had a family member make a decorative dough version of this one year in the 90s, when making decorations out of salt dough was all the rage.
It was pumpkins? I have always been taught squash. Or is this a calabaza = squash and pumpkin translation issue maybe?
Imagine going outside for a smoke and the crows just start circling. Frantically puffing and fighting them off with your spare hand.
I refuse! I REFUSE!!
Really doubt it 😌

That’s for patient use only! You’ll have to transition first if you want to use it.
Sounds great on paper, in practice it’s almost entirely old white men who want to get rid of age of consent laws or people who want to be able to do insane, dangerous to others shit like feeding bears without anyone being able to stop them.
In summary, the ideology of selfish jackasses at best and pedophiles at worst.
Macy’s windows are overhyped, go see the Saks Fifth Avenue light show. It’s outdoors and projected onto the building with coordinated music, it changes every year and I’ve always enjoyed it. Then you’re like a 2 minute walk away from the Rockefeller Center, where you can see that iconic over the top NYC Christmas scene that’s always on movies and TV, of a gigantic decorated Christmas tree outside with a ton of people ice skating in front of it. Then get some spiced nuts, that shit’s good. Perfect Christmas outing in NYC 👍

I hope she milked the fuck out of that for any papers she needed to write during university, lol. Imagine being able to legitimately cite yourself on a paper.
Not my story, but it’s so good I have to share it: my classmate told me about how she was on a bus and some guy was arguing with the bus driver about fare or something, and the bus driver just gets up, takes off his bus driver vest thing, and fucking walks off the job! She said everyone on the bus was like WTF. Then when she left the bus and went to another bus stop to try to get home the driver was also just waiting at that stop, because obviously he drove the bus there and had no other way to get anywhere 😂
Two leopards, there’s a two pet limit!
That’s an offensive stereotype. Some of us are autistic humanities nerds who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude!
If that’s true that takes my interest in it into the negatives. ASOIAF has about a million moving parts and very distinct characters with complex backstories, there’s not even a small chance an LLM could come close to imitating that.
I’ve seen and picked up describing Rimworld as Dwarf Fortress for babies (positive). Sometimes I want a baby game! Like, 1000+ hours of a baby game. Don’t judge me.
