I had to go looking to see if there was a distinction. There is!

Hail is a form of solid precipitation.[1] It is distinct from ice pellets (American English “sleet”), though the two are often confused.[2] It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone.[3] Ice pellets generally fall in cold weather, while hail growth is greatly inhibited during low surface temperatures.

Unlike other forms of water ice precipitation, such as graupel (which is made of rime ice), ice pellets (which are smaller and translucent), and snow (which consists of tiny, delicately crystalline flakes or needles), hailstones usually measure between 5 mm (0.2 in) and 15 cm (6 in) in diameter.[1] The METAR reporting code for hail 5 mm (0.20 in) or greater is GR, while smaller hailstones and graupel are coded GS.

I try to do similar for our kitchen but one of mine just lays there and takes it at the ‘line’ between rooms. He is super food oriented so he’ll put up with anything to stay in the area. BTW I also train my cats to do tricks for treats, food oriented ones are the easiest to get to cooperate with that idea.

I also like to go around and wake everyone up midday when I take lunch (I work from home). Helps make them want to sleep, at least a little, at night instead of staying up being noisy assholes.

We have multiple streaming services available thanks to phone plans, family, etc… 99.9% of the time our TV is on, it’s on Pluto TV. Multiple free Star Trek channels rolling 24/7!

Our dog has separation anxieties so we leave the TV on to help create noise when we leave. Helps mask some of the neighbors noise which freaks him out -car doors, bicycles, people existing… No worry of Pluto asking him if he is still watching either!

I mentioned this one on another post. It’s good enough I’m gonna throw it out there again. Kung Fu Mahjongg. All 3. …and Kung Fu Hustle

Edit to add, thier whole troop is amazing. Silly stories made amazingly entertaining, due to the charismatic cast and, creative and well executed choreography.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil! Amazing movie! I put it on one day just so I could check it off my list of new things out and, figured if I love the Evil Dead series (and also, as someone else mentioned in the thread, the Re-Animator) how awful could this be… it wasn’t. It was fantastic.

Enjoyed Little Evil too. So, I’m putting Colossal on my list right now!

Combs just brings a captivating presence wherever he goes!

Hello and welcome! I didn’t see a couple things mentioned that I thought were very helpful to me with the instance choosing, so I just wanted to pass it along…

If you look at your account kinda like an email, all the emails can communicate with each other, just like the instances can communicate. Though, an instance can also block another so thay it can not be seen/interacted with. Like, gmail deciding they will no longer accept yahoomail, for example.

.ml has been blocked by a variety of others, so you may be missing out on some interests elsewhere, that you would enjoy.

I use an app and have a few different accounts, the app lets me just swap my sign in profiles back and forth as I like. Sometimes a server goes down or an update goes bad. Having another account let’s you check in on the action, on those who are still up and running while the other gets worked on. You can even use the same name, your @ will just change.

Initial sign up is roughest step really… but not much harder than grabbing a new email!

OK, that was more than a couple, hopefully something was helpful though and helps your experience here!

I came back here to see if there were new additions, since I came across the post early on. I also really enjoy funk, with a favorite being Primus, well, anything Les Claypool really (His stuff with Sean Lennon, much more …trippy rock?, with Claypool Lennon Delirium, still excellent). They are a really heavy lil corner of the funk/rock spectrum though.

I am def going to check out some bubblegum funk now, it sounds like it should be an opposite spectrum sound experience!

So, thank you for allowing me to suckle on your presence a bit?

Prodigy was so much better than I had hoped! I was worried they would be pushed to make so family friendly it would lose some of those “moral discussion” questions I love Trek for. Nope.

Does Voyager need to be listed as an Scp?!

I think he’s talking about the “Lemmy Gold”

which I totally stile from someone else btw

…and up again. Now, have any food? That was exhausting and I need my energy to go again.

I would hope the “sentience” they show in comparison would have an impact on how they saw it. Would maybe demand some reforms on ownership guidelines and forced breeding mutations ?

I think they are talking about “Rejoined” s4e5? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0708588/?ref_=tt_mv_close

That will be acceptable.

Keep talking like that and I’ll do it again too. Now bring me some food.

Guess I should have worded that more as, “make my employer understand and make the switch”. We can tell them till we’re blue in the face but they do not seem to care.

Tell that to my employer.
