  • Aren't they the cutest nightmares you've ever seen?

    I'll never forget walking through my grandfathers yard and noticing that with every step I took, I'd see a few dart away from me. Only saw them when they were crossing the tops of flat clove leaves in the grass. Wouldn't have known they were there, otherwise. They were everywhere, out there. Every square foot of grass. Was curious enough to find out what they were and much to my relief, mostly harmless. Still, tresspassers caught inside, get the death penalty.

    I've crawled under nearly a thousand houses since then and never got bit, despite undoubtedly being covered by different kinds. Still panic if I catch em on me, but I know I don't have much to worry about here in the PNW. The coast and valley are pretty safe. Rattlers and widows are more common east of the valley.

  • We're past the point where it's reasonable to assume ANYTHING viewed onscreen isn't AI generated. The unending content created with AI will be the final nail in the coffin. The screens have subdued us. Hypnotized us into submission. Shaped everything we know and believe. I could probably list a thousand companies, products, trademarks, and slogans. What a waste of cognitive function.

  • The human body wasn't designed to sit all day. We're walkers. Best to appreciate a job that keeps you moving. Haven't had back problems since I started doing manual labor. Before that, there were days I couldn't tie my shoes.

  • "An American teenager has been detained on an Antarctic island, creating a major delay in his attempt to fly his small plane to every continent that is being followed online by more than a million people.

    Chilean authorities stopped Ethan Guo, 19, after he submitted a false flight plan, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.

    His deviation from that plan in the air had "activated alert protocols", Chile's General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics said in a statement.

    Mr Guo was taken into custody after landing on King George Island, home to a number of international research stations and their staffs, where July temperatures typically stay well below freezing.

    Mr Guo's small Cessna 182 aircraft took off from the city of Punta Arenas, near the southernmost point of Chile, and flew to the island off the Atlantic coast, which is claimed by Chile. It is named after England's King George III.

    He was detained at Teniente R. Marsh airport.

    Mr Guo had allegedly submitted a plan to fly over Punta Arenas, but not beyond that, according to regional prosecutor Cristian Cristoso Rifo, as cited by CBS.

    He has been charged for violating two articles of the country's aeronautical code, including one that could lead to short-term imprisonment.

    In the statement, Chile's General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics said Mr Guo had also allegedly violated the Antarctic Treaty, which regulates international relations with respect to the uninhabited continent.

    Mr Guo posted an update on X on Wednesday, saying: "I'm alive everyone, I'll make an update soon."

    Ethan Guo has flown his Cessna aircraft to all the other six continents in his journey spanning more than 140 days, according to his social media feed.

    He is hoping to become the first pilot to complete solo flights across all seven continents in the Cessna aircraft, and simultaneously aims to raise $1m (£ 731,000) for cancer research at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."
