I have no idea how I went this long without knowing The Salt Lick did all you can eat family style meal, apparently it's even at the top of the menu...

Although I'll admit my favorite parts are the mustard BBQ sauce and the hammock garden, agreed that the BBQ is meh. And having known lots of country folks, evading taxes by only taking cash sounds about right.

Interesting, interesting. We call the female lightning bugs here glow worms because they are wingless, but today I'm learning that is not the case for all species!

Also Glühwürmchen is a cute word.

I grew up calling them lightning bugs, and I'm so excited to see a thread full of people calling them the same!

I remember once opening the door to a garage (with a gravel floor), hundreds of the little guys immediately dove in to the gravel. It was... fine. I was... fine.

Conversely, I was at a snake petting zoo and they had an arachnid room. There was a big ol' scorpion there covered with it's babies taking a ride and it was honestly very cute! (This was thousands of miles from home, so that helped too.)

In summary: Scorpions... sometimes?

I believe it's referring to the end of the gold standard for the dollar, as a way to sell bitcoin.

I don't agree with the entire analysis in that post, but definitely agree with the general "wtfhappenedin1971 trying to scam you" vibe.

I know I'm a weirdo, but I really loved it since they felt like little puzzles. On the other hand, Electromagnetics felt like a swamp of sorrow and partial derivatives...

Yes it's nice to see a proper showing of our EE siblings 😄

Aw, I remember coworkers had gotten corn and onion pizzas as a treat the first time I visited my remote office in Taipei (from Pizza Hut). I believe there were also shrimp pizzas, I felt very special 😊

But yes, alas it seems rare here in the US!
