hahaha. Usually I have at least 2 dirty bags of laundry in the queue, one in the washing machine, one in the dryer, & at least 1 clean bag needing to be taken upstairs to be put away 😅

Like I say, this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever actually defeated a washing queue.

My theory was that it was a mixture of me not being there, and the fact that as soon as their food was gone they were allowed to go and play; so eating fast got you the best toys...

Bit niche I think, but apparently this parking spot is reserved for female rock climbers.

I have SO many of the Newage ones. Very much recommend.

Nice!

Here's Newage Hawk - only about 10cm tall!
The vehicle mode is basically the same size as a hot wheels

Two photos side by side. On the left is Karl Urban as Judge Dredd, labelled “Karl Urban”. On the right is Karl Urban as Eomer, labelled “Karl Rural”.

My response to that post would be:

"Thanks very much random internet buffoon who has clearly got wood for LLMs. I've pondered your pretentious and under-thought through nonsense and I am calling bullshit on it."

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Incredible.

TLDR: vaccines containing mRNA that encodes for allergen-related proteins have had promising results in mice, and might even be a stepping stone to an asthma vaccine.
