I’ve not seen them with one.

I also haven’t seen them around for a while, but I frequent only a few threads around here.

[chaotic skies]

I've never had one, I generally don't outside of my steam account. I also haven't been around for a while - real life has a bad habit of getting the best of me every few months.

Kinda just caught me off guard, since I dip in and out so much

Like all stormy weather, you are well enough known to be feared and awed

Went to the park to walk the dogs while our house was being shown, stopped at the horse trail end and camping area, and found a bunch of weird jelly blobs in a puddle where water was pooling in the parking area. Thought they were slime mold or something when I saw broken smooshed ones but there's puddles full of little orbs of globular of kinda smooth, fatty, slightly slimy things. Like clearly alive, obviously not eggs as they're all different sizes and shapes. The little ones were pretty spherical, but bigger ones were flattened. They're all greenish brown, nothing visibly inside them. Pulled one open and the exterior is a couple millimeters thick, inside was full of watery fluid which got sprayed all over my shirt. No idea what they actually are.

Hmm. Collect a sample and see if anybody can analyze it. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/nostoc_a_green_jelly_like_substance_growing_in_lawns

Cars have proximity sensors that work on human audible frequencies.

Someone parked their car in an underpass. I had to pass by it. While I was in front and behind it, I heard pulses of high-pitched sound. While I was next to it, it was constant. It was really annoying.

I hope that's not the car honking.

My guess would be some kind of algae or bacterial colony. It sounds like something that's partially encysted to resist drying out while the inner part of the colony stays moist and is free to carry out chemical processes, likely photosynthesis. Chances are the inside is under pressure from gaseous byproducts that can't escape the outer casing, hence the fluid spraying out when opened.


Alternatively; Aliens.

China has arrested the 90-year old Hongkongese cardinal Joseph Zen, for conspiring with foreign powers.
Zen is a board member for a Hongkongese human rights organisation that provides support for people that were arrested during street protests in Hong Kong

I know China has no love for organised religion other that the Word of Xi, but a cardinal?
Let's hope the Pope doesn't call for a crusade. We can't spare any catholics to go fight atheists right now, they are needed to fight other christians.

[chaotic skies]

Honestly, the pope declaring a crusade would probably just check off some cosmic bingo card. Hopefully the cardinal gets out of there safely.

[pisskop]

It would be glorious honestly.  Just a casual crusade against Russian Orthodoxy!!

[chaotic skies]

Yeah, because that wouldn't have any major consequences

[heydude6]

I think major consequences would be the point.

[LordBaal]

Im pretty sure that Eric has been assimilated by now into the blob alien thingy.
A crusade now would probably not be heed by many if none.

[Frumple]

Huh. Pharma shill commercial ended on "these aren't the only serious side effects", which... I haven't seen before, or at least if I had it's been a long, long time.

Makes me wonder if the pharma bastards stateside managed to loosen regs on drug ads or somethin'...
