Foliage doom

"The plant's watery sap contains photosensitizing agents. When the sap combines with moisture and is exposed to sunlight, it can cause severe skin and eye irritation, painful blistering, permanent scarring and even blindness. "Contact between the skin and the sap of this plant occurs either through brushing against the bristles on the stem or breaking the stem or leaves," the agency notes."

I have this - got it from a tick bite on Kiawah Island a little under 5 years ago.  TBH - cutting out mammal from the diet isn't very hard.  It's the cross contamination issues that suck - order a grilled chicken sandwich from a place that cooks them right next to a burger = toast, that wok was just used for beef fried rice = toast, etc.

Man sorry to hear that. I just like red meat too much.

Millennials dooming us:

Hooters has also been one-upped (two-upped?) by chains that have increased the overt sexuality such as Twin Peaks, Red Neck Heaven, Tilted Kilt, Tight Ends.  There is a lot more competition in the breastraunt space than there used to be.

From twitter:

"going to a subpar beer & wings restaurant to leer at/take pics with big-boobed waitresses is one of the most uniquely baby-boomer male concepts and I am laughing my ass off at the idea that it's some sort of sacred cultural institution that millenials are shitting all over"

Twin Peaks, Red Neck Heaven, Tilted Kilt, Tight Ends..

Do those have Milwaukee locations?  Asking for a friend.

This is false advertising at its finest.  They may be able to catch a pass or two, but not one of those ladies has the frame to block a 270-lb DE.

I don't know if I should recommend Googling "Tight ends near me"

That came across my feed as well and i thought it was perfect.  the holy trinity baby boomer imagery is Hooters, Sean Hannity and a McMansion.

A strange thing has happened to men over the past few decades: We've become increasingly infertile, so much so that within a generation we may lose the ability to reproduce entirely.  What's causing this mysterious drop in sperm counts—and is there any way to reverse it before it's too late?


(Probable answer: Arby's.)

Within a generation, we won't need a man to make a baby.

Arby's.

[forgetful]

Within a generation, we won't need a man to make a baby.

Witin a generation we will not need a woman to make a baby either.

We are almost there on both fertilizing without a man, and making an embryo without a woman.  I'd say 15-20 years we can fertilize without a man, and it will be widespread in clinical practice.  Similar for embryo's without women. 

The lagging factor will be an artificial womb from fertilization, gestation and birth.  That may be 20-30 years out.
