And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I’d like to point out, ‘proper’ jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is ‘up to a year,’ but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait… isn’t ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It’s still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be ‘ill’ and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.

*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.

If you really want to be an inconvenience, DON’T give them the plate numbers. Those will almost certainly come back to some entity or person that will clue the dispatchers in on them being government owned.

That’s amazing. How did you build the vertical space? I built about 300 observation towers into a lovely platform to ‘skydive’ from, and then my game lagged out. I have a really old comp, so it was expected, but still grumbling worthy. I couldn’t really get the hang of the vertical building without stacking and deleting platforms.

Isn’t that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html

If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don’t have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.

Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.
