If the caterpillars are horn worms, and I bet money they are, you can easily find them with a UV flashlight. The cheap lights are best as they’re brighter (less real UV) than good ones. Little fuckers POP at night. (May work on other species, no clue.)

These are the best bang for the buck, don’t get the truly crappy ones with multiple cheapo LEDs. You may get away with using a 14500 battery for super bright results. AA is fine though.

Bonus: Some people fry 'em up. You do you.

Funny, I drawl it into one syllable, but I read it as two. Didn’t understand how it fit the rule.

should not come at the others’ expense

Obesity does come at everyone’s expense. Consider that over half of us Americans are obese or simply fat. Imagine the environmental impacts of all that food waste. If you don’t spend time driving the countryside, it’s hard to get your head around how much land and energy use goes into growing our food. Imagine how much pollution goes into growing that food; herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, manufacturing, chicken shit runoff, all that.

Go to the doctor. Almost every person in the waiting room is obese. Isn’t that something? They make a huge impact on our health care system. I can’t find a local doctor taking new patients. The system is locked up and a huge part of that is treating obesity related disease and injury.

I’m 53 and some of my pains have totally disappeared.

Neck used to lock if I twisted my head just right while looking in the mirror. Walked around for 3 days at a time like C3PO. Knee blew out. Broke my femur and that hurt on and off for 10-years. None of that now. Weird.

No no no! A man doesn’t ask, he tells. Women generally like a man to take charge. You have to dovetail that decisiveness with what your woman likes.

Little trickier that, but not too hard if your paying close attention to pleasing her. And if you’re not paying close attention to your woman, what the fuck are you doing anyway?! Because I promise, she’s paying close attention to you.

Easy money. The man decides and quickly gauges her reaction. Women like decisive men, not wussies.

“We’re going to the Mexican joint for dinner. Sound good?”

See how she reacts. This is easy for a normal human. If she hesitates, change the plan.

“No good? OK, the Italian place it is then.”

If she still doesn’t look happy, you don’t know her well enough. Do better, learn about your woman. Same goes for sex.

Straps need a twist to cut the harmonics. Otherwise, sane plan.

Good night John Boy.

Sounds neat and sounds like you know more than I do. What’s the endgame here? Civilian supersonic passenger jets?

Good night John Boy.

(Anyone around here old enough for that one?)

The likelihood of being sued is the issue. The DMCA has tons of case law behind it making it a powerful tool for the media companies. Not so much for NCII. Also, individuals usually don’t have legal teams.

So as with much fuckery in the modern world, we can use the rules as well as they can. If someone’s image is shared as NCII, they only need flag it as a DMCA violation. Problem being, who is going to know that trick?

You’ve already got excellent advice, but I’ll add this to maybe save you some money.

Since you’re replacing it anyway, go ahead and yank it and get the part number off the back. As Septimaeus said, it’s likely used on several laptop models. Vendors always charge more when you’re searching for the laptop model. Search instead for the monitor model. Also, try eBay and other vendors. You might be surprised at the cost differences after a little shopping.

Not familiar at all, that’s why I asked! Thanks, I’ll have to read some.

LOL, I can get to Alabama faster than I can the beach.

What’s Marxism have to do with it? Sounds exactly like the scientific method to me. Applying it to politics is an unnecessary step in this discussion.

Too cold for batteries. That, and longevity, is why they used an RTG.

I ran over a Rottweiler, who later got his revenge by destroying my alternator.

I was throwing newspapers at 6AM, going 20mph, if that, and dodged a 2x4 in the road. Felt a thump, thought, “Crap! Was there another one?”

Got out and didn’t see anything in the road, looked under the car and there’s the dog. Oh shit. Jacked my car up to get him out, expected blood and biting. No blood and he was completely chill.

Got him in my backseat and palpitated him all over. Looked like a broken or cracked rib or 2 and a mangled pinkie. Hauled him home and called around. Some hippies in a rescue van pulled up and took him for treatment.

Went back to the hood and knocked doors until I found the owners. Went back and saw him again!

The wreck continues… Month later my alternator dies. Mechanic replaced it and showed me the air intake. Jammed with a fine layer of fur.

Yes, there is a Japanese belief that people have three hearts, each representing a different part of their personality:

• The mouth: The heart that is shown to the world.
• The chest: The heart that is shown to friends and family.
• The secret heart: The heart that is buried deep and only known to the individual.

Also, there’s the Monkeysphere. Some of what you’re after is here:

It’s on old article, try to deal with the broken formatting. Easily the best summation of why we treat each other as we do.

I live in Milton, FL, and like the last one, we’re 100% dodging this one. Weird.

Agreed. SSD is dead, or less likely, the RAM.
