So what you’re accusing me of is sleeping with my boss?

I think if it went in while it was alive we have to refer to it as suspended animation. Maybe Espresso was just practicing for a space mission.

That was close. I was cooking in the kitchen and heard strange rustling noises coming from the freezer. I didn’t realize that when i took stuff from the freezer Espresso snuck in from the other side. #ferrets

The problem of drugs and gangs would go away overnight if people simply realized the global effects of their “harmless recreational drugs” and stop doing them Every time a child is killed in a gang shooting it’s the people getting stoned at parties that are to blame.Start taking responsibility

It’s not a lack of respect. It’s faith in human greed.

Guaranteed contracts simply because they are Canadian is not a way to ensure quality or effectiveness of tax payer money. Cut the US out of the process yes, but competition encourages quality and lower costs.

Growing up, wax peppers, also called Hungarian hot bananas, are a children’s snack. Cut one in half, sprinkle salt in it, and eat it. I also hate those high in vinegar sauces.

The same with Hungarians, some regions have very spicy food. When I go to East Indian restaurants i ask for the extra spicy vindaloo. I have to specify “the East Indian extra spicy not the white person extra spicy.” They are very different things.

Almost all major US processed food companies were purchased by tobacco companies in the 80’s. That should tell you all you need to know. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/did-big-toba...

In BC it is also illegal to give aid to a grey squirrel that you have injured, even accidentally. You must kill it. Requirement to kill injured wildlife 4 If a person injures wildlife listed in Schedule B or C, the person must kill that wildlife. [en. B.C. Reg. 253/2000, App. 2, s. 3.]

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

In BC they cause so much environmental damage that they have been classified as a schedule C species. Meaning they are classified as kill on site, you can legally destroy their nests and young as well as trap adults, at any time without a license.

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Since trapping them i have seen a significant increase in song and hummingbird populations. As well as an increase in diversity. Here at least, it is illegal to catch and release an invasive species. I live trap and then kill them so i can ensure the death is quick and painless.

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

No they don’t only eat eggs if hungry. Like nuts they will remove them from the nest for later consumption. I also live in a rural area.They don’t eat all the birds but they significantly reduce the bird population and push native squirrels out of the area. They also kill trees especially in winter

210

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

They don’t eat adult birds. They eat eggs and hatchlings. Grey squirrels are opportunistic feeders and will not pass up a meal simply because feeders are stocked with seeds and nuts. That habit also makes them extremely easy to trap. I put a single peanut in a trap and they can’t resist it.

210

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

So you keep them fed Their population increases further They kill more birds Or you could recognize that they are an invasive species and make every attempt to remove them from the environment they are destroying

We have the invasive grey squirrels in BC. They don’t just eat nuts and seeds. They also eat baby birds and out compete native squirrels. I started actively trapping and killing them on my property a couple of years ago. It was amazing to see the song bird and humming bird populations boom.

This is a good use of AI. It has presented an idea. Now everyone with a wood working shop wants to build it.

That goes for both sides. Extreme Democrats are equally full if hate. They have just chosen to hate different things.

AI is no different than the internet when it was invented. It has many valuable applications. But for the average person it will be cat videos and porn.

Everywhere you look on this planet people have enslaved other people. It’s horrible yes. But it’s also sadly something all humans will do regardless of their skin color if given the chance.

120

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

What a load of crap. Slavery is human history. It’s a very uninformed world view to think only black people were slaves. In British Columbia First Nations enslaved other First Nations.In North Africa blacks enslaved whites. In Eurasia Scythians enslaved Northern Europeans and sold them to the Greeks

Good job. So many people today want a specific bred for various reasons but then are surprised when they have behavioural issues because they don’t train and work a dog to the instincts it was bred for.

I just got my hands on seeds for a blue Chilean Wine palm that I’m excited to see grow. It’s the same as a standard wine palm, which I’ve already got, but with glaucous blue leaves. My wife keeps saying there’s no more room for another tree but I always prove her wrong.

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Thanks. I have a private arboretum on the south west coast of Canada. If it’s edible I will grow it including pomegranate, guavas and mangoes, But i also have several species of eucalyptus and palm trees.

You want to select a tree where all the grafts are at a similar height. If a graft is much lower than the other grafts as the tree gets bigger it will kill off that graft for the same reason as a non grafted tree grows it drops its lower branches. It’s called apical dominance.

120

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

They sell those in BC too but people who buy them frequently don’t know what to look for and within a few years most of the grafts die.

You can graft apples and pears together because they are actually very closely related members of the rose family.

010

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Quince is a common root stock for pear trees for disease resistance in the pear tree that is grafted onto it. Only a seed (or genetically modified tissue culture) can produce a plant with different fruit from the parent.

020

Frank 🇨🇦 @whynotbehere.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Grafting does not give you new fruit, rather it imparts qualities of the root stock onto the grafted portion. For example, flying dragon is a common citrus root stock. It increases cold hardiness, dwarfs the tree, and produces fruit on a younger plant than if it wasn’t grafted.

While the US has decided to see if it can flush the planet down a toilet China has seriously stepped up as the environmental leader. Just a few weeks ago they surprised everyone by revealing a fully functional CO2 power plant that generates electricity by capturing heat from steel refineries.

Wrong answer, but i guess a typical American response of being fine with something as long as it doesn’t affect them. Your answer clearly implies you are fine with how they are treating non citizens. The correct answer should have been “because it’s simply the right thing to do”.

We should also agree on the type of taco. Fish tacos don’t hurt nearly as much as the fake ceramic ones on grandma’s table.

Americans have long past the point that a simple apology will do. The world is now in shock at your silent acceptance. Thousands of people protesting in a country of hundreds of millions is silent acceptance.

Think about the mind that woke up one day and said “i will start breeding my birds to have beards “ Their time could have been far better spent breeding other animals. Like dogs that use the toilet.
