Neat! Thank you. I always appreciate having my ignorance diminished

Growing up I was told this by my sister-in-law’s dad. He might have actually believed it, too, since he wasn’t the sort that made up stories for kids. (Like Santa. He wouldn’t just come out and say Santa is make believe, but if asked he refused to lie about it) My uncle also talked about rock salt loads, and was a gunsmith, but he was the sort that would lie to kids for fun.

I will edit my above comment and highlight your reply

Expected catsuit, got cat, very happy

Very spacious, from what I’ve heard

Still not the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK tho

Edit: Disregard what I wrote above. I’m leaving it up for my shame. See the comment from shalafi below mine. I have been fooled. Tricked. Lied to. Bamboozled. Swindled. Everything else that I wrote below is still accurate, in my opinion at least

Canines can be tenacious. You’ll have to kill them, dissuade them to the point of absolute fear, or harden your coop with a full enclosure of welded fencing. But your chickens will definitely be stressed if you let them keep coming, hardened enclosure not withstanding.

Is getting a donkey an option? Personally if I were in your shoes I’d either kill them or pain them so much they have Regret. Yes they are following their instincts, but if they’re feral (and possibly if they’re tame) their instincts will also allow them to kill a small child. An 80lb dog can do a lot of damage.

If you eat meat you’re already okay with taking life out of necessity. This would, in my mind, be a necessity

And you’re like the father I never visit

With a knife!

Damn, now I can’t not hear it

100%

And I name all of my filenames by YYYYMMDD and then the relevant name. Vastly superior and naturally intuitive. I also accept DDMMYYYY but I’m in the US and it’s not as intuitive for others around here

I want peas

I gave my girlfriend the generous gift of a giant giraffe from Georgia, going gently and with a gallant gamble that the geriatric gentlemen will digest the gist of this generation.

It’s pronounced gif

Ha! Promote that man

I like the cut of his jib

Hey, it’s okay, I got your joke

Feels like it sometimes, ngl

Old age is probably worse, but middle age sucks

It died when my bones started to creak
