@sundogplanets@mastodon.social are folks still saying, "A Large Boulder the Size of a Small Boulder"?

@gannet @futurebird Mr. Whiskers will hop up in my lap at lunchtime and inspect my sandwich. I suspect the abhorrence of peanut butter overwhelms the desire for wheat bread. Mr. Whiskers is rather disappointed in me.

@futurebird I know the feeling. #caturday Also, he seems indifferent to most people food - but is obsessed with Triscuits.

@wendinoakland @kottke check out the alt-NPS effort to get big brands to speak out against this (Patagonia, etc.). https://SaveUSFS.org

@markstos @yy my suburban grocery stores usually face busy streets. For the homes behind the stores, pedestrians and cyclists need to come out to the busy street in order to enter the parking lot. Seems like having a pedestrian entryway from the neighborhood (avoiding the big street) would make this more inviting.

@ingalls@mstdn.ca I know a guy who worked in the Google Loon group (balloons for providing internet). He said he loved the work. Good luck and welcome to the Bay!
