Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

Personally, I think that with the Coronavirus pandemic seeming to be long-haul – possibly functionally eternal – and politics being a major reason for that, throwing a politician or three into a volcano in order to appease the virus is something we should consider. 😉
But… The hilarity of a “gritty reboot” of Joe Versus The Volcano aside, I really don’t think that Biden should be our first test subject for this experiment. 😉 Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, or any of The Squad would be better choices to first throw into one of the three currently erupting volcanoes in the US.
And hey! It might work. After all, there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your science. 😛
Mouse Computer Japan‘s (MCJ) is not only a producer of fairly high-end laptops, they’re marketing wonderkind. You just don’t get much in the way of television commercials like that – or that damn good – here in America. 😆
Denn Es Ist Oktoberfest – Bier Und Unzucht! (Click to Enlarge)
It’s Oktoberfest and there’s still time to celebrate Germany’s finest holiday and one of their greatest gifts to the Civilized World. Just, celebrate it right! 😆
Oh, and pro-tip: Gentlemen, moderate your beer-drinking a bit because bierschwanz is the enemy of unzucht.
Back in 2014, Colorado completely legalized the use, sale, and growing of marijuana, the latter both by individuals and by commercial/agricultural concerns. This was hailed as a landmark in “progress,” both by the ever-drug-loving Leftists and many Libertarian sorts. And, indeed, there seems to have been little, if any, human damage or negative consequences caused by Colorado’s drug experiment.
But What About The Ecological Consequences?
With marijuana now growing all around The Centennial State, it follows that mice, rats, voles, rabbits, and various varieties of squirrels will be eating the seeds and some of the vegetation. This would both end up concentrating the cannabinoids in those prey species’ tissues, and make them both more unaware and sluggish. Hence, those rodents and similar prey animals would be easier for various predators to catch and consume.
So yeah! Stoner owls – owls both primarily subsisting upon small, terrestrial prey and being a major predator thereof – look likely to be an unforeseen, probably negative, ecological consequence of Colorado’s legalization of the use and growing of marijuana.
