  • In your Western scenarios, I don’t think it would be anywhere near a clean getaway most of the time. Horses do tend to behave differently for different riders. A very well trained horse may handle the new rider better, but most horses tend to test new riders. The first couple rides on a new to you horse is both a learning experience and a power struggle. You don’t know exactly how that horse was trained, and the horse usually wants to see what it can get away with. You might find out the owner doesn’t use some standard cues, and the horse might just take advantage of it get irritated with the confusion.

    They know who their people are. In your scenarios, it’s likely the horse only has one rider. Trying to hop on without it’s person there is going to confuse it. If you are good with horses and it’s trained in a conventional way, you’ll have a better chance at gaining control quickly. I still wouldn’t imagine galloping off immediately… That’s going to take time.

    I really don’t know with the shooting dead question. If owner does a lot of yelling before/after the shooting, I don’t see it ending well. No arguing before hand, one clean shot to the head - might be more dependant on if the horse is gun trained. I know horses that couldn’t care less about fireworks and gunfire but will throw you over a plastic shopping bag blowing across the field or because she heard a noise coming from “that scary tree”.

    I don’t know a good way to judge a horses temperament at a glance. You can get an idea of what kind of mood they’re currently in fairly quickly though. You can look at their muscle build and get an idea of how much they’re worked and if your good an idea of what kind of work. Different muscles will be toned differently depending on what they’re used for.

    Hope that helps!

    Yep, it’s great! You can call or text with all your turkey questions. I texted and so the lady helping me even asked for pictures of the “growth”! She sent the issue up the line until it was identified. This was just last year, and I’m still mad about throwing out a perfectly good turkey before trying the helpline.

    I’ve started with a frozen bird in the morning, and had a nicely baked turkey at a reasonable time this way. Put it in a bath until it’s not entirely a brick, replacing some of the water frequently. Balance it in the sink so you can run the faucet down the neck. Run water until spine is thawed enough to spatchcock. Doesn’t matter if most the meat is still frozen, it’ll cook fine.

    *Went to brine my turkey the day before and found a weird “growth”. It was really unappetizing and concerning, so I overreacted and threw out the bird. Could only find frozens, so the new bird only had overnight in the fridge. After buying a new turkey I thought to get on the Butterball turkey help line. They were fantastic and assured me the growth was actually a processing burn and totally safe.



  • My older sister and I once made a very questionable swing. My youngest sister was more than happy to be the first one to try it. She had to climb up on the picnic table, under the apple tree, to sit in a chair. We then hoisted the chair up by rope. The chair promptly flipped, we dropped the rope and little sister broke her elbow. Managed to hide the broken elbow from Mom and Dad till the next morning.


  • Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it’s necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, “Russia shouldn’t be invading Ukraine”, but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like “I’m talking about the government, not the people.”

    On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.





  • I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don’t think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it’s being portrayed. Plenty of R’s voted it down on it’s own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.









  • The only things I can think of is that they’re trying to ship themselves somewhere, or doing some next level stalker shit. Otherwise you’d just say the reason right? Gotta be something illegal/dangerously stupid to post that question with the “don’t ask why” added at the end. It’s either that or sex stuff.
