That’s a paradoxical stimulant response.

Same way my Adderrall works. Having ADHD is weird.

Neither do I. But I know enough to whittle it down to crab spider and go from there. But from the markings on its cephalothorax and the stance it is taking and its general coloring, seems to fit the best.

Need a bag of apples with a Mountain Dew Gushing Granny label.

Deja vu!

Any company that says anything about being a family is throwing up massive red flags.

Looks like a crab spider to me. Maybe Xysticus funestus. But it’s hard to tell.

Approximate size and geographic location can confirm the species.

Edit: They do live in Maryland. It could be a different crab spider. But X. funestus looks closest to me. Not medically significant. Ambush spiders. Live in leaf litter.

Agreed.

We did have an eclipse this year, so maybe package soon?

I bring it up every time I see his name.

The reason he is in a wheelchair is from a neighbor’s tree falling on him. His payout has been over 8 million, 9 million over his lifetime due to the structured nature of the settlement. This was before he became a politician. After he became a politician, he voted for tort reform in Texas to limit pay outs to 250 thousand.

Closed the door right behind himself.

He’s a greedy bastard and a shit-heel. I hope his nurse forgets his wheelchair brakes.

Cool. Can we charge right wing media sources the same way for “inducing panic?”

Same cloth. I once considered selectively breeding Dodder. A non-photosynthesizing parasitic plant that is bright red or pink. Only reason? Because it looks like the stuff from the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds movie.

Mild ones at best. Or just a tasty veg when sauteed if it’s only placebo.

Maybe a fun obituary. Or a nice arrest write up. Doubtful any of the plants I work with are significant. Mostly model organisms and their relatives or local plants I have always loved. Unless the Smilax rotundifolia I have suddenly ends up a Devil’s Snare.

Fun fact, the shoots of young Smilax rotundifolia taste a bit like asparagus when cooked and in native cultures was used as a sexual performance enhancer among other things.

I prefer the DNA shotgun method. Load up a shell with gold covered in the DNA you want and fire it at a batch of seeds. If you’re lucky, you get some that are just right.

But for my own hobby gardening, I like microdosing seeds with Oryzalin. Causes polyploidy and then you get some really nifty mutants with a whole bunch of extra DNA space to play in. And it’s cheap, as it’s sold in weed killer. Just don’t drink it. Or rub it on yourself. Hooray genotoxic chemicals at the Home Depot.

Thinking about it, I have really odd hobbies. Anyone else mutate Arctic circle plants for fun?

Always love a good Escher. Growing up I had a book of all his works.

I think the tesselation of angels and demons is one of my favorites.

Lots a hypocrites in the Bible. So probably not terribly far off.

Bad parenting and capitalism are my reasons.

What is up with the way he stands??

I gay for myself and myself alone. And that cute guy at the coffee shop. I’ll gay hard for him.

It’s a bit of a run on. Lol. And I think global and personal should be flipped. But I’ll let it stand.
