I believe Hopper is a grasshopper.

Jerusalem Crickets (potato bugs) are: Insecta> Orthoptera > Ensifera > Stenopelmatidae > Stenopelmatinae > Stenopelmatini > Ammopelmatus

And grasshoppers are: Insecta> Orthoptera > Caelifera > Acrididea > Acridomorpha > Acridoidea

So, not unrelated, but you have to go a fair ways back.

Jerusalem crickets can only jump about 4 inches (one inch more than their body length) and mostly just toddle around slowly when they aren’t digging for rotting roots to eat.

Get a dedicated ice cube tray and freeze leftover sauces like that if you aren’t going to use them often. Pop them out and put in a sealed container or freezer bag as soon as they are frozen. The small size gives you freedom to thaw what you need.

Kash Patel will always remind me of Patel from Animal Control in the episode where he gets internet famous and becomes an annoying prima donna.

Yeah… it seems like it might kill you, but maybe worth it? Like puffer fish sushi.

It’s grass. Sometimes in the right warm and humid conditions it does get a tasty fungus called corn smut.

The mocking birds start around 1am here. They’re at it all day as well, so I think they only sleep from like dusk to 1 during fucking season.

Bonus points for sounding like little car alarms.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

First off, yes, take the pill immediately. The side effects are no worse than having a period and they are not compounding. It’s not ideal to use it as your first line of defense and therefore very often, but you don’t need to worry about taking it a third time (or fourth or fifth time).

Second, get yourself a hard “no sex with a new person while drunk”policy. If you find you can’t stick to that when already drunk, then yes drinking less is necessary. You can’t really properly consent when you’re not sober.

If you’re having sex that you don’t feel good about having, it might be wise to step away from the social situation that has been leading to that happening. Do you have or can you find a social group that does things that don’t involve drinking with strangers? Maybe a hobby or hiking group?

If you are drinking too much in situations where not everyone is drinking, it might be a touch of social anxiety that you are trying to self medicate away. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the best proven method for managing this. It’s not like regular talk therapy, it’s very goal oriented with practical steps to take every day and not much (if any) talking about everything bad that’s ever happened. If you can’t afford to see a therapist there are excellent self guided resources and workbooks available.

I don’t know you or your situation, only what you stated above. I’m sure there is a lot more going on than you’d care to share with anonymous strangers. But looking into both why you are drinking and what is leading to regrettable sex will be your best bet.

Go get that pill, lady.

Mine works really well on sensor reheat unless it’s soup, then it’s gonna boil it dry after exploding it all over like a crime scene.

Bitrex is a substance you put in poisonous stuff (like antifreeze) so that kids and animals don’t drink it.

Oh no… it’s been 12 hrs…

You alright?

Well, it sounds like you put your mom on the account because you trust her judgment. I would have a conversation with her about it, and if you want to keep the surprise for her, just don’t let her know what the item is.

Just let your mom in on the secret. Is she getting one or just your brothers?

I read the study a long time ago, it was to do with tick covered opossums. Also, I’ve got both in my yard.

Gorgeous!!

Oh for fucks sake.

The employee was aware of one other recently rejected media request, involving the TV network Telemundo. “Their request was denied because they needed a ranger to speak Spanish, and ‘English is the official language of the US,’” the employee said.
