Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”
How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god
This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home…. Impressive !! MINNESOTA CLYDESDALE
why are moose so terrifyingly large
Because they’re pretty much legit surviving Ice Age megafauna and almost everything was bigger back then
his moose leaves for a few weeks to Fuck
if you would like to try and stop the moose leaving for a few weeks to Fuck you are welcome to try, buddy
the movie really undersells the fact that frodo spent half a year planning to make his departure from the shire as inconspicuous as possible and merry and pippin and sam saw him doing that, figured out he was leaving the shire and that it had something to do with bilbo’s ring, and then spent nearly as long preparing to go with him. icons
worth nothing to people who havent read the books: they didnt tell him they were planning to come with him until the very last minute when he’s finally about to spill the beans, and merry’s just kind of ”yo frodo you have the worst poker face in the shire and you constantly walk around saying shit like ”oughhh i do wonder if i shall ever look down this path again oughhwh woe” out loud for everyone to hear” and frodo just sits there like
AND and. frodo’s like don’t try to stop me from leaving!! i must go!! and the girlies are like SILLY BILLY we mean to go with you!! and he’s like NO NO you don’t get it i’m probably gonna DIE!! and they’re like no no YOU don’t get it we KNOW!! you think we’d let you march off to your doom alone??
okay but don’t forget fredegar “fatty” bolger…the one hobbit who was like “I see you’re going on some sort of quest…have fun with that, I’ll stay here and housesit” and then the freaking NAZGÛL come visit while he’s housesitting
Me, ready to remind everyone about Fatty Bolger: I knew there was a reason Adib and I are friends.
But seriously, my boy Fredegar volunteered to deal with nosy Brandybucks and MAYBE Lobelia, and ended up with a Nazgûl drop in and then got thrown in jail for resisting Saruman.
he wore Frodo’s clothes for this which probably made no difference given the data the Nazgul had to work with but it sure does show his commitment to the body doubling bit
i went to the cooking competition and all of the chefs kept yelling “cast iron pan” but i dont even know how to use that damn spell yet im not a high enough level
