For those who knew her or know people who loved her, the time is irrelevant. It’s a tragedy no two ways about it.

Throw him in a wood chipper

Funky ? Shit man, that's code for wood chipper.

But there is room for nuance and compassion and recognizing that circumstances and family and mental health are all part of this equation. This kid got a diagnosis of “funky” by a court psychologist - that tells me he’s pretty bad off. So yeah, fuck everything that led to Lucia losing her life and to this other child losing his as well.

There’s also this new free service

I highly recommend checking out Moulton Hot Natives on instagram. Theyre a fantastic info source and nursery for beneficial native plants!

What are they building in the Bottom with that crane?

Saw it too from VMFA

Never said it’s an excuse but people seem to think it’s some sort of catch all. Yes putting them in safes will stop most kids from getting to them. But it won’t stop even close to all of them

It’s really not. Securing a gun is basic and saying some kids can pick the lock isn’t an excuse for not securing the gun.

I ordered one to be sent to my house last week.

A lot of cool native grasses and late flowering plants like asters, too, don’t forget! I like how late boneset (Eupatorium serotinum) is covered with freaky insects in early fall when other flowers are gone

Sounds like there were so many warning signs that went completely ignored...what a tragedy

It’s not that complex when most of these kids who got their hands on their family member’s gun got it because it wasn’t in a safe at all.

I haven't heard of this ghost kitchen, awesome! The Devil's Lettuce is a new 100% vegan spot in short pump if you haven't heard.

I used an agent when purchasing a home recently. He shopped around for me. I feel like I got a good deal and it was easier than doing all of the legwork myself. I used State Farm for many years, but their customer service went downhill and they are just like the other big companies now. Ended up going with Utica Mutual thru the agent. They have actual people who answer the phone which is nice. If you're looking for motorcycle insurance, try Markel. They were way cheaper than Geico.

Thanks to everyone, I have my answer now: yes but also no! A couple of you have given me some very promising-seeming recommendations too. Much appreciated

That was me 10 years ago, but now I have a wife who loves shopping. Wouldn't you be so lucky?

The animals you consume aren't "privileged", so shut the fuck up. Literally no one goes vegan because it's a luxury. Veganism is an ethical stance against the exploitation and consumption of animals. I'm a broke-ass college student living paycheck to paycheck. I give a shit about animals, so I don't eat them. Why the fuck is that so triggering to you???

I’m so happy other people play. I’m playing wrath and it’s hard to make since I’m apparently an adult, but what server?

My wife and I were at Abberly Twin Hickory for 3ish years and really enjoyed it. Would absolutely move back there if I were to rent again.

Rice and beans are the two most readily available and inexpensive foodstuffs in the world. If you give a shit about animal welfare (ie: not consuming animals or their byproducts because you recognize that they're sentient beings and we don't need to eat them to survive), then you can go vegan. Regardless of where you are. I lived in a food desert in rural Culpeper this past summer for six weeks while at archaeology field school, you know, back when gas was $5/gal+. The only vegan options I could find were taco bell and burger king impossible whoppers. I quite literally lived off of the $1 sides of rice and beans from taco bell for six weeks while lifting hundreds of pounds of soil daily. There's no excuse if you actually give a single shit about animals. You can go vegan. If I could live off of taco bell rice and beans for six weeks while doing strenuous manual labor, then you can do it too.

Securing guns is such a complex topic. Yea you can buy a gun safe but there are so many lockpicking YouTube videos that these kids can still get into them. You can easily just google what safe you have and the type of lock it has. Then search that YouTube video. Unless they’re locks made by the very top companies they do not have good picking protection at all. There are many locks that just require raking with a certain tool. Kid can just order the exact equipment he needs online without his parents noticing. Though I’m sure just locking your guns up will stop MOST kids

Yeah, ideally he'll get rehabilitated over those 60 years. We'll see.

170 in a 100 year old attached rowhouse. Temp is between 65-68. About r38 I’m the attic with a lot of expansion foam to seal air gaps in the unfinished basement, ceiling, and wall penetrations.

16 year old 10 seer heat pump that’s properly charged and maintained. I use my ecobee to lockout my heat strips, upgraded to a demand defrost board, and monitor performance with beestat. My heat pump will maintain temp until the low teens.
