Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:

1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it

In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I've never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.

From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don't even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.

I've seen some commenters say they messaged her but got no reply

That stuff is great but always be sure to clean your tools right away when you're done. When it's wet you can just clean it with plain tapwater but once it sets it is impossible to get it out of the mixing bit, for example. Also, never mix too much at a time because it sets so quickly

"Three economy" really means "rich people's money" and the filthy rich have been doing just fine

I find that people often say this when what "it is" is something too ugly to name. "It is what it is" is true, but sometimes what "it is" is that the speaker is a racist defending another racist

Thank you for making me laugh so hard at the word "piss" 😄

What a world we have created where "we won't have to work anymore" means "we're all doomed"

We could be creating a new utopia, but we know the people in power will hoard every scrap

This is the one I got. I wonder why they use different photos sometimes

I came to the comments to mention that exact experience. There must be historical reasons that SCP uses -P and SSH uses -p but I certainly didn't expect it since they're both from the same package (openssh)

Shelled and unshelled both also mean unshelled and shelled, respectively

I see somebody read the fine print
