I'm nostalgic for when Team Fortress 2 was good still...

IMO, another good reason to not use Google!

Flanders as depressed anime. Or maybe it's his internal monologue because you just know that he's faking that smile.

No beehive, not Marge. It's like, her one defining feature, how do you fuck that up? Give this back to Facebook and tell them to try better next time.

Not a fan of this article. Typical armchair-conservationist whining about the number last year provides zero context of what happened - this article reads as of it was written by someone in the otherside of the world with that stat as the lone figure to base assumptions on.

"Securing garbage and fruit trees" is written as the boogeyman but the underlying problem was a lack of food in the wild for them. "Urban expansion" is not the cause here - hell a couple of the communities on this list including one I live in have had negative growth.

Wild huckleberry production is probably the single largest indicator to how many bears move into communities and last year they were devastated by the drought. Between this and the pressure from yet another insane wildfire season, bears were driven into human contact, and yes, bad human habits made this a problem from there.

I guess my point is that they weren't simply lured in, as this shoddy journalism suggests. This is yet another consequence of climate change. This will only get worse.

Another point of contention - COs were woefully understaffed and under resourced. Trapping and relocating animals just wasn't an option when you have one trap per town at best. Often RCMP were dealing with bears and I bet you can guess which tools they have at their disposal.

My field recon suggests this year to be better for wild berries in my area maybe, but I'll wait and see. I hope some good studies can surface over this whole ordeal and we can work out better solutions before this gets out of hand next time.

Okay, reasonable enough, I had read your response as "no solar, just homes and put the solar in rural".

How so? A) Less transmission lines to where it's needed and b) more qualified/trained staff centralized to the solar installs.

I'm not against rural solar by any stretch but I can't fathom being against urban solar? We need to solar all the things.

Something along the lines of the ol' Three Stooges Syndrome!

I've been running a pair of Sennhesiser PC 350's for something like 10 years now? Not sure. I used to game a lot more than I do now and eventually the ear cushions started falling apart. I was dreading replacing them though, and ended up getting some replacement cushions from Amazon or something. Was super easy to replace and they've been like new for the last year now. I'm a hardwire all of the things type person, and generally a cheapass so yeah, overall happy with this purchase!

You sunnavabitch take this upvote!

That's how I usually interpret it except in Godzilla Minus One :
