Thinking about this more, I just don't think it's true. I can't find a spot on Google maps where tractor supply is the only store for miles. In America, you can drive to many shitty corporations to buy stuff, no matter where in America you are.

Is that your situation? I live pretty rural, but there's a Walmart, Lowe's, or home depot pretty much the same distance as tractor supply, and that's probably the situation for most of the US. I also buy online. Mom and pop feed stores are all over the place.

For me, it's real easy to go somewhere else.

It's so easy to shop somewhere else, might as well.

I looked it up. Wikipedia says,

Tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks) is a pack of playing cards, used from at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini. From their Italian roots, tarot-playing cards spread to most of Europe, evolving into a family of games that includes German Grosstarok and modern games such as French Tarot and Austrian Königrufen. In the late 18th century French occultists made elaborate, but unsubstantiated, claims about their history and meaning, leading to the emergence of custom decks for use in divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy. Thus, there are two distinct types of tarot packs in circulation: those used for card games and those used for divination. However, some older patterns, such as the Tarot de Marseille, originally intended for playing card games, are occasionally used for cartomancy.

Or is tarot using Spanish suits?

Spending time with five different people a week. This could be anyone from your gym buddy or book club bestie to the person the next pew over at your church.

Nurturing three close relationships. Here, Kallim is talking about maintaining the tightest bonds in your life, usually with family and dear friends.

Aiming for one hour of social interaction a day. "That doesn't have to be all at once. It could be 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there," Kallim clarifies to BI. And feel free to combine your hanging out time with errands or other activities if you're busy.

Math doesn't work out.

Could be that the paperwork for putting together a job ad is a pain, so they just reuse an old one. So maybe the title or position details change.

A blog post from Pornhub said that its latest locations for shutdowns are Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska. The site said it would end operations in those states in July 2024. The website closed in Texas last week, and has also blocked access to its site in Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia in response to similar state legislation.

This was clearly made by a mosquito. So biased.

Not my claim that it's new, I copy pasted the article

Tl;dr: A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.

Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.

More generally, they weren't doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper's publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.

tl;dr: it's an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.

I'm guessing, but it's probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?

None of this is right, lol.

So named after mutated genes - thanks

No explanation of what FLiRT stands for. A+ article s/

Oh, I see - thanks!

Were they ever made with lead? Sounds like a bad choice for something that goes in an oven, since lead has such a low melting point. Not that I know anything, just pontificating.
