This is why it’s important to travel.

"Yeah. Sure. 'Operation Paperclip' worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day," the user wrote.

Umm… what?

Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.

What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?

As I understand the story, Michelin made tires for cars… and people drive in cars. Maybe if people had a handy guide that told them all the best places to eat, they’d start driving to those places… thus the Michelin Guide was born!

Tin whiskers have also been identified as the cause of some satellites going down too, so spacecraft definitely still using leaded solder.

Also recommend looking at the homepage of that site. Lots of cool pictures and research papers on metal whiskering.

If some place has crazy sock day, they’re talking about people wearing bright loud print socks or something super outlandish.

The crazy socks in the photo are the socks they give you when you’re admitted inpatient at the mental health hospital.

None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.

All you had to do was tell me he sells his own supplements…

Yeah… don’t pay any attention to this kind of nonsense. Cats are obligated to carnivores. They don’t have the machinery to process a lot of non-meat foods. If they occasionally get into some things, it shouldn’t cause a problem.

Ultimately, just listen to your vet.

So far as the milk and cats thing… I think the issue is that they love it, they’ll almost always go for it, but many if not most are lactose intolerant… so too much will cause issues. If you had a cat who could process it, then great!

I literally thought the T was going to be titties, and was prepared to laugh. Now I’m just sad.

Have you thought of not canceling but simply removing your payment method?

The statue is awesome, but it fails to capture the hatred and aggression in the photo.
