The absolute SIZE of this spider! And I'm letting it have babies... And no I won't be putting anything next to it for scale, but it's massive.

Massive spider. The size of shrew, I'd say. It could definitely take a shrew. And there are two egg sacks.

Was looking up how far I could run with the dog and, I'm sorry, what?!

In terms of how you, the pet parent, should conduct your daily runs, this is probably the best course of action. Killing two people at once is comparable to doing so. Your physical and mental health will improve, and you’ll also be doing your golden retriever’s golden retriever a favor by keeping him active and healthy.

This Christmas I will be mostly getting enraged by the design of sweet wrappers that now generate 2 pieces of rubbish, one of which is a fiddly little sliver that is easily lost. We used to be a country, etc.

Oh they're gonna be pursued? Are they going to get an email saying "a thing is happening..."?

Anyone who has not filed ahead of the deadline risks being pursued and they could face financial penalties for late returns.

My lottery ticket is a winner! Of 4 euro 🙄 I'd be much more interested in a lottery with a better distribution of the prize money. The top 2 prizes are far too much. The next 2 are useful amounts and everything else is essentially a book token. #Euromillions

This was a doozy. I assume the context was from 3 questions ago on the previous page where they asked about my commute to work.

The question asks "How many days per week?"

Unfortunately, there are no pets allowed abroad. So obviously, my heart is broken, but the 525 euro will go some way to healing it.

An ad for Lottie, the 2 year old shih tzu. Asking price 525 euro

We raised Lottie from a puppy and hoped one day she would have her own litter with us, as she is such a great example of the breed, has a super nature and beautiful colours and markings. However, we have to move abroad and can't take her with us as no pets are allowed.

Lottie is very healthy and been raised on premium food.

She is a full purebred Shih Tzu, with her parents having won shows. To us she is a beautiful pet and she needs to go to a loving home who would appreciate her kind and fun nature.

He's back on his bullshit this morning. I don't understand how the environment correspondent can be so uninterested in his subject. www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

George is still claiming there's not enough research to show climate change causes stronger storms.

Dr Captain McIntyre @cathmci.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Here's what he had to say about the storm and climate change yesterday. He was getting his scepticism in ahead of time. www.rte.ie/news/weather...

Sorry. Can't copy/paste text from rte. The gist is that he's saying there's not a huge amount of evidence linking climate change with wind. Sure, George.

Let 2025 be the year that everyone includes X and Y axes and data labels on their infographics. I beg you! These are from the last couple of days:

This is supposed to be a chart of energy sources, but it's just colours with no X or Y axis or legend.

This is a map of Europe with the countries in different colours. No info of what the colours mean.

Thanks Gemini, but I don't need to brainstorm "what time are you home at?" 🙄 What is the point of this? It's infantilising.

I'm rooting for cultivated meat. This paragraph nails my motivation.

That’s the only way we can reduce demand,” Peppou said. “We have to replace meat with alternatives that people choose for selfish reasons.” Generally, people buy food they enjoy eating. Though some purchase foods because they reduce environmental impact, that’s an uphill battle with a product that isn’t quite as good, or quite as cheap, as what it’s replacing. Just ask the folks at Impossible Burger.
