The problem with this map is that it does not account for terrain — rivers, mountains, lakes, etc.

Truly, there’s a long history of the church supporting science. There’s a few hiccups, like the thing with Galileo, but generally the church financed and perpetuated science for a long time. It’s only in very recent history that a selection of Christians have decided they must oppose science.
But, easily there are parallels between the two that take no great feat of imagination or mental gymnastics to believe.

Solve that pretty easy. All money that comes into the household (except the kids’ money) is the household’s. Then there’s no splitting anything. :)

Seems like the easy solution, but everyone doesn’t have the same teeth. I have very weak enamel. I eat very little sugar. These days not even fruit; no sweet beverages, or even sauces/toppings on food. I use prescription mouth wash. I brush my teeth morning, mid-day, and night. Keep a tooth brush in my car, at my office and my home. Floss, use dental picks and that fancy thick floss. I almost always have a cavity at check up.
My spouse sometimes only brushes once a day and rarely flosses, but seldom has cavities. Drinks Red Bull.
It’s not always black and white.

This doesn’t include the zipper pouch with tobacco leaves on it to hold your tobacco and lighter etc.

Yeah, mohair seems like a bad call for this. Maybe angora, or silk. Even cotton would be better.

@thatguyyouknow I get where you’re coming from. I think we have a lot of exposure to the loudest most obnoxious segment and it can really ruin the value of the movement. There are some people out there shouting about feminism in toxic cancerous ways. And I found that I was quite averred to the movement myself.
But it’s a bigger story and some of those ideas are important—essential to a healthy society. They are the ideas from the people who fought so that women could be doctors/lawyers/professionals, vote, have credit cards and own homes.
We continue to need these ideas and champions because we aren’t a perfect society and we still have things to work on. Don’t let the voices of the bad actors color your perception of powerful and visionary thinkers.

Pretty much wherever you are, you can find a bee keeper willing to help you remove/relocate bees for little to no cost (depending on the situation — I know in some situations where contract labor or supplies must be acquired there is larger cost passed on).
If you have trouble tracking someone down, you can reach out to the American Bee-keeping Federation for help/contacts.
But there’s no need to hurt the bees. :)

Yeah, I sorta think that too. You don’t eat your dog because it is your friend. There is the small matter of the coevolution shared by dogs and humans. I imagine that has a role in why we don’t typically eat them.
But also, pigs are really smart and charming. They do make good pets. I don’t think I could raise meat pigs. I worry that I would have a hard time eating them.

Where I live, we actually have a big problem with humans spreading disease to bat populations. A few years back many caves were closed to visitors in an effort to protect the bats.

So apparently this murdering a person in a hotel and stuffing them in a suitcase to dispose of them is pretty common. I went I. Search of the article but there are too many cases like this.

True, (no accounting for taste) but any mammal blood will substitute the leavening effect of eggs. :)

I mention terrain because I live in the Appalachian mountains and recognize how convoluted my drive can be because there’s a mountain in the way.
