I did mean it in the dragon context, haven’t had my coffee yet xD Thank you for the correction

The article is confusing because it paints him as a “highly respected” ethical hunter and conservationist that hunts under culling licenses, but goes on to say the duiker he was hunting is rare and elusive. Wikipedia lists it as near threatened.

Man had a horde hoard of animal trophies too, so it seems like he just found a loophole to killing and collecting animals in a ‘respectable’ way

Edit: pre-coffee typo :)

I asked my VA therapist about this today, and she said this directive has already been rescinded following provider feedback.

I’m 100% service connected.

But yeah, they did lose it. I have emails from opm and the va just three years ago telling me they couldn’t find it. I don’t know where my peer found it, but I’m lucky she did. That was half the point of my comment above

I got out in 2006, that fire happened in 1973

To add to this, get in touch with your local VA peer support. They aren’t in every city but if you have a regional center they will have at least one peer support. They have the connections to help you get whatever records you need. The military “lost” my dd214 and the only reason I have it now is because of an incredibly persistent peer.

They are also great shoulders to lean on through the process, because it sucks. You will be made to feel like you are less than others for your service connected disability, and sometimes you may question whether you have one at all because of it.

Hang in there!

I wish I could get her to watch ds9 with me, I imagine Vic Fontaine would be her favorite character though

She believes in aliens too, but not in the sense of little green men. She claims that they are prophets from the old testament that time travel, she always mentioned that passage in Kings with a burning chariot in the sky when she was talking about aliens. She gave me a book about it once, I kind of wish I had held on to it for the laughs.

I’ve mentioned this before, but my grandmother fully believes in Bigfoot, and claims there are sub-species of Sasquatch that she’s personally seen throughout the US. Debunking this movie won’t matter to her, I doubt she’d even consider for a moment that the footage is fake.

He said that if anyone audited they’d need to be able to read my name in the signature. I still trusted him at that point so I didn’t have much reason to question it lol

When I bought my first car, my dad (who owned the dealership lol) shredded the paperwork that I signed in cursive, and made me re-write in block letters. It’s the only car or other big-expense/important thing that I didn’t sign for with my usual signature.

My other confusing problem with that transaction was I wasn’t allowed to buy the kind of vehicle I wanted. Yes, I was already an adult living on my own by then, but I figured he knew best. (he did not)

I had scarlet fever when I was six, and when I recovered I kept trying to turn the TV off even when it wasn’t on. My parents eventually realized the illness gave me tinnitus. It’s so weird to see someone else describe it that way because no one really remembers that sound anymore haha

I eat breakfast consistently, usually some form of rice porrige and various veggies. Lunch is my most skipped meal, but I forget to eat dinner sometimes too lol

If I’m lucky I made rice for dinner and have left over to stir fry the next morning

I’m an idiot that doesn’t understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?

I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol

This is epigenetics, changes to a genome via stress and environment that are passsed to offspring. We’ve known for a while that older men have children with autism or schizophrenia more often than young men, and investigating the cause and mechanism like they have in this study will help people have healthier children in the future.

The type of RNA that are involved in this study are regulatory, which means they can help or prevent gene activity, and are very important in the development of an embryo because the egg doesn’t have this in abundance like the sperm does

I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

Kinda weird to call Hunter a VIP. I don’t think I’d even call him moderately important

I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me

That might be the one thing that forces congress to act on Trump tbh. They could weather tariffs because it barely affected them. Dropping the bottom out of the dollar will affect them
