Those things are generally not illegal.

It’s illegal to buy/sell tobacco as/to a minor. It’s not illegal to use tobacco.

Most of the restrictions on smoking are not by law, but policy. 12 states don’t have any sort of ban on tobacco use.

Devil’s advocate: are they a million times better?

Monocultures, moldboard plowing destroying soil structure and creating an Ap horizon, organics depletion and excessive application of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides…

Suspending any personal beliefs in the matter, it is truly easier to empathize with people, mammals, then others animals because we better understand their experience. We cannot understand the abstractions of a plant’s lived experience. Humans are only just starting to examine the intricacies of plant familial systems through root and mycorrhizal networks.

Cats are also invasive in some areas. Outdoor cats are the leading cause of songbird mortality.

Isn’t this Army jurisdiction? Is pressing charges even relevant?

Ah, I should have specified the pasture-raised standards:

R 1: Pasture area

a. Must consist mainly of living vegetation. Coarse grit must be available to aid digestion of vegetation.

c. The minimum outdoor space requirement is 2.5 acres (1 hectare)/1000 birds (~109SF).

g. Birds must be outdoors 12 months per year, every day for a minimum of 6 hours per day. In an emergency, the hens may be confined in fixed or mobile housing 24 hours per day for no more than 14 consecutive days.

Free-range are only required to have 2SF and don’t have a mandatory outside time.

“Go outside” for free-range is also a tiny little pen that chickens don’t really know how to use.

There’s another option: Pasture-raised, certified humane. They have >100SF of outdoor space per bird, shelter, and eat a mix of insects and supplemental feed.

Aldi sells them for about 75% more than conventional eggs.

Find pasture-raised eggs at your grocery store. Added bugs to the diet helps with the rich yolks.

Used to DL a bunch of Peloton videos during a free trial then self-host on Plex.

Just like Rudy!

“If motorcycles were used the same amount…”

They aren’t, so who cares?

Beakman’s episode on teeth lives on my mind rent free.

Oh, for sure it is work. I just chuckled at the innuendo.

A teetotaler is someone who doesn’t drink. OP is referring to Trump.

Patagonia since they also offer repair services in the event of damage and are relatively ethical.

Do you have lightweights? I find those to be tighter than midweights, which also seem a bit more plush.

Smartwool enshitified by dropping their warranty to two years. Used to be able to take an old pair to my outfitter and pick out a new set, no questions.

Like the other user said, check out DT. EZPZ replacement.

Yes. The artificial flavor for banana was created in the 19th century when big michael was the common variety.
