wut.

I've killed sick birds with a hand axe before, and it's not great.

I've done the cone + neck cut before, and I … was left wondering if I did it "cleanly".

With last year's flock, I did a .22 to the head for the (Complete Asshole prime rooster) and the extra boys, and that's what I'll do in the future. Simple and effective.

But, yes, you need to accept the responsibility of dispatching birds at the appropriate point, and in a quick and "humane" way.

oh no

That's not how it works, though. Christ, you morons.

— COVID-19 in the US

"bro"

The reference was to the graveyards full of millions of dead due to COVID, a national tragedy, and a serious impact on the economy (both the deaths and our response to the pandemic).

It's quite relevant.

What else was in co-incidence in those years? Massive economic inequality? Drastic unemployment? Pervasive stay-at-home-ism? Drastic deaths and disability due to covid? Economic headwinds leading to the largest amount of inflation in a generation? &c.?

There are /tons/ of confounding factors.

It's not "defunding the police", tho, because that wasn't a thing that actually happened.

> after defunding the police

Lol.

> in decades

Yes, nothing else confounding happened in the last few years, not at all. whistles past the graveyard full of millions It certainly wasn't a national trend, thus establishing that there's no correlation with "defunding the police".

(Which, BTW, basically did not happen anywhere.)

The water goes into the toilet tank, so the tub cleanliness is not really at issue.

But, if you're filling your tub for potable water, there are liners one can purchase to assist with that concern, as well.

Sorry, in what world are people retiring while their parents are still alive?

I don't subscribe to this sub to hear Rama's thoughts about how people should use reddit.

I come here to hear about topics relating to Vermont.

"censor".

And reddit's voting is not "censorship".

You need a different hobby than shitposting on Reddit, Rama.

But what does this have to do with Alexina Federhen?

Sorry, did you mean to send modmail?

Generally, no, it's not.

the feds have data on market prices, including history.

It's not just you... you may have heard something about a major war going on.

> shoot in air,

Don't fire warning shots, don't fire into the air.

> If I see him reach for anything he gets shot. In the head.

Aim for center-mass, not "the head".

I sub here to hear about vermont-specific things.

I sub to other places where it would be entirely appropriate to talk about the Harry Potter game.

This ain't it.

What does this have to do with vermont?

wat

What is this?

> If you can’t get an absentee ballot or make it to the polls it’s clearly not an important issue yo you🤷🏼‍♂️ and voters who aren’t informed or don’t care is what’s killing the democratic process.

How dare you malign people who can't make it to the polls in the limited time available as "uninformed" or "lacking care" and who are "killing the democratic process".

It's you who are "killing the democratic process".

Asshole.

> It seems to me like you vote for the candidate you prefer most. If no one gets a majority, you have a runoff and do the same thing again. It’s simple and it works.

Lol, do you not understand that's exactly what "instant runoff voting" (and its ilk) literally is?

the standard for this used to be "use antennaweb.com" and it will basically point you to Mt. Mansfield.

I like Weather Underground's 10day forecast, but it's a bit too early to get a good prediction.

yes.
