My take was someone using the photo out of context to make a joke. A sled seems like the easiest way to transport unopened beer a relatively short distance at a ski resort or whatever - maybe it's getting delivered to a wedding reception or function on site.

OP, I had a floppy chain like yours, but I fidgeted too hard and broke it ๐Ÿ˜‚ I liked to try to squeeze my finger in between the rubber bands and over time it didn't like me doing that lol

My favorite is my Ono Roller. It's metal and has a delightful weight to it. I got the youth size for my small hands lol. I like that it's completely silent and occupies my entire hand

I also like the Nee Doh squishies. My mini cube is my 2nd favorite fidget at the moment. The ones filled with gel are superior to the ones with white goo. The ones with more varied shape (mushroom/animal) are more likely to make fart noises when squished. (I also have to resist fidgeting too aggressively and breaking these lol. One night the intrusive thoughts won and I was biting a cube while stretching it. It was a really good bite feel, but a bunch of air got in the cube and solidified the goo and now it's extremely hard and won't squish unless you sit on it and warm it up for half an hour first lmao ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Oooh I want one ๐Ÿคฉ

At Stronk Gym ๐Ÿ’ช

It's the same with calico cats as well from what I understand, almost all are female.

Yep, to get calico coloring, cats must have two X chromosomes, so they will be female. If a male calico is born, it will be XXY. So that's a rare mutation to encounter, and those cats are always sterile too, so they're not passing along their mutation to any kittens either.

Ooooh yeah it is a dog. I thought they weren't including the cat who is on the bed but not cuddling ๐Ÿ˜‚

Okay but like, there's a right and wrong way to count time and they're doing it wrong. This is 100% valid to report as a bug, and imo, incredibly helpful - especially compared to most of the bug reports I see! Idk what the context is here, but for the software I QA for work, this kind of mistake would break everything, and I'd report it as a bug. Their comment isn't a reply in a professional situation, but still, that reaction is extremely over the top. What an asshole

For my in-office keyboard I have Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile switches. I'm very happy with them. I saw some advice that said not to lube them, which I gladly took to save myself the effort lol. I've been using them at work for 2.5 years now. And my coworker who (politely) complained about my keyboard being too loud before has not complained about this one ๐Ÿ™‚

I use them on a Keychron K-series keyboard that originally came with brown switches. I did also upgrade the stabilizers on this one, my space bar was too loud.

I will say that I prefer my Keychron Q5 that I have at home. It was more expensive than the K-series, but it has better build quality. I haven't had to do any mods (the stabilizers it shipped with haven't bothered me) and I prefer the metal body of the keyboard.

Never see the hawks target them either, they fight back and mob predators.

Ooh cool! So just the other day, my husband saw a hawk grab a grey squirrel. And a squirrel buddy came over and attacked the hawk and rescued the first squirrel!! We've never seen or heard of anything like that before. These were grey squirrels.

Maybe squirrels are a lot more roughty toughty than I've been giving them credit for! ๐Ÿ˜

Well I'm not sure about that, but that's a good point...

Polar bears have translucent hair that looks white, and black skin. Looks like black squirrels have black skin. So maybe it depends if this white squirrel still has black skin underneath ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I'm going to tell myself that the lil guy will be fine because that's a happier ending ๐Ÿ˜…

Hey, you/your sister should submit a report of this squirrel spotting!

https://untamedscience.com/biodiversity/white-squirrel/

There's an effort to map where white squirrels are showing up in North America. We did some research after seeing one in our neighborhood a few years back - like this one, ours wasn't albino, which you can differentiate because squirrels with albinism have red eyes.

Edit: this lil guy is probably better off in the snow than otherwise, better camouflage! ๐Ÿ˜

 

I'm really just here for the memes y'all

I don't think lemmy.world would be a good home for 196 so I'm glad that onehundredninetysix was created. But I haven't yet been convinced to abandon ship on the original 196 yet and unsubscribe. (Insert Mean Girls "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school" scene playing in my head...)

Anyway when I'm scrolling through my feed, the posts from both communities are labeled as coming from "196" even if they're coming from onehundredninetysix. I have to click into the post and then to the community to tell which it's coming from.

Which is all to say: no one call me a traitor for enjoying a meme regardless of which community it's posted in, okay? I otherwise followed the rule. Thanks

 

I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.
