Yes, collectively it's called the "Beasts of Burden Suite." It's six games. Donkey Kong is the flagship. Then Reindeer Kong. Hm? Yes, not actually a reindeer. Then Mule Kong, then Lllama Kong. Also monkeys, yes. Then Bactrian Camel Kong. That's correct, also monkey. Then Elephant Kong. Yes I'll hold

ICE is younger than the Taco Bell chalupa and about the same age as the Crunchwrap supreme and contributes far less to society than either!

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Otherā¢. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Lettuce update: harvested only 15.2oz this week. I wonder if itās too cold down in the basement and thatās affecting growth rate. I donāt have enough data yet to distinguish a trend from random noise though, so I guess Iām gonna stay the course for now.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able. As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important. Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You donāt have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you donāt think theyāll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
