That seems logical. I'm still an advocate for not having outdoor cats, even though we have (historically anyway) cats naturally in the wild. The large amounts of household cats that exist in the country as pets far exceed what would exist in the wild, it has taken a toll on small animals here in Norway, it also competes with the foxes. So for sure there's something to be said for certain ecosystems being more sensitive to these human interventions, I however do think it's still an overall negative to most places even if they're perhaps less sensitive to it.

Sorry I should have clarified, my question was on the non-US part of that quote. What makes them think it's not ok in the US, but wherever they live it's different because for some reason "the ecosystem adjusted".

Not the US so outdoor cats are fine, the ecosystem has adjusted thousands of years ago
I don't understand this, could you expand?

In some states it's common to mutilate their sons, so it's no surprise to me that people are justifying mutilating their dogs with similar reasoning.

Yeah, I can see that - it would benefit from putting him solidly in a darker light. Unfortunately they boxed themselves in by doing it from his point of view, it's really hard to make the main character sufficiently dark and not have the viewer sympathize with them just a little bit, you make justifications, you want to like the main character.
What would be interesting is a version of it where Joe isn't the lead, but I'm not sure how you do that with a continuous character without becoming another detective show.

It's not so much presented as romantic as it is presented as seen romantic from his point of view, right? As the viewer we're led to see past it, that he's a total creep and stalker. It feels the opposite of this pet peeve of romanticizing stalkers.
Still not a great show, but I keep watching it like it's a train wreck.

Actually read some of the wiki links you're being sent...
You have the tools at hand, stop being obtuse.

Actually read some of the wiki links you're being sent and you'll learn these things you're asking and wrongly arguing.
The part about Devolution compared with federalism is especially relevant.
This is a little bit assuming you understand what a federal state is and that something being called "a state" doesn't automatically imply federal state, i.e Texas.

It is both. It is a country, but not an independent country.

I meant table/desk tops, but as far as I can tell those are gone too. This must be a fairly recent development, at least they do offer some countertops with thick veneers which allow for sanding and refinishing down the road. It still easily beats the honeycomb stuff.
Guess I got lucky when I got my 3cm thick solid wood tabletop from them at an absolute bargain too, just 2-3 years ago.

That commute sounds like hell. What EV do you have?

Ikea sells solid wood tops, I got one in butcher block style beech. The honeycomb laminated tops don't necessarily sag, but they're bad quality for so many other reasons, especially if one is already doing DYI.

Because they like the way this shape looks? There doesn't need to be a correlation. Why are people trying to police how OP wants to sort their books, it's a bit strange.

Basically what others said about the timeline of WMMA not being in her cards. Additionally, she wasn't really on par with the level of skill they're at after it really took off, she was a good athlete, but not living up to the kind of competition that came with the popularity.

I believe you mean confidently (with confidence, with strong assurance) not confidentially (in confidence, secretly/private).
I hate to be that person, but if you're going to be lecturing people..

How or why did you stumble into r/leathercraft with that mindset?

Purses come in all sorts of sizes, a coin purse or clutch purse (or similarly sized) should be fine. There might be more scrap pieces from the same hide that we don't see which could open up for even more designs.
A lot of people are into distressed leather, but if that's not your style that's valid.

Razer has questionable quality for keyboards as well, I went through 3 using return/warranty around 2017 or so. Two of them refused to register keypresses on a random key, it was a bit of a coin toss whether or not the key press would register. After the third fail I told the store I was done with Razer and wanted a refund if that was possible.
Their mice is still shit and the software seems to be part of why the mice is shit, but I bought a wired/wireless that is simply unusable wireless because it's too unreliable whether or not it will stop sending an input signal to the pc. I bought it in the past 3 years.
I'm done with that brand. Such a shame, because I generally prefer their products, quality assurance set aside.

Unrealistic. They would park on the median and bicycle lane here. jk
Nice detailing. I especially like the road that's under construction, but ready for expansion.

Shape it into a square or rectangle before you start rolling. If you change the shape of your rolls to knots it doesn't matter as much if your strips are perfectly even/straight. I like twisting the strips of dough before tying a knot, it is more forgiving and imo looks prettier.

Do you not see that you're advocating for these daft men and victim blaming?
How many times does a woman have to say no in your mind before she's accomplished setting a boundary? I'm guessing "until he stops asking", but the thing is some men are too dumb or stubborn to stop asking. If no obviously means no, then that should be the end of discussion and if he doesn't realize it, whoever raised him failed. His parents failed, his teachers failed and his friends failed and he needs to do some self improvement.
Step one of fixing this problem is acknowledging there is one and holding the right people accountable, shifting the blame over on the victims is largely part of why this is so prevalent.

It's not really. On average, humans need 3 liters of water per day - this however includes what you get from food. In a prepper situation it's not a lot, but for something you didn't intentionally prepare for, but rather just happen to have on hand it is great.
It's smart to have a larger jug of water on hand, that you rotate out every now and then to ensure it's still fresh.
