I’m American and I always get a chuckle from the adoration that people have over raccoons as well. I guess they’re cute but they’re also a menace, there’s a reason we call them “trash pandas”.
But I also went to Spain several years back and saw my first hedgehog. And it was even in a hedge! I took probably two dozen photos and the locals thought I was crazy. So I get it.
This stuff? Comes in 1 lb or 2 lbs logs? Maybe a different brand or packaging?
Idk what you call it but I’ve seen it at Acme now.
This is an American problem, but I discovered Amish butter a while back and haven’t looked back.
It has a slightly higher fat content closer to European butter (85% vs 80% for the regular store stuff), so everything you make tastes better. Eggs, cookies, steak, potatoes- it improves them all. I can get it fairly easy from a local co-op and it’s the same price as regular butter, but that depends on where you are in the country.
Well I live in Philadelphia, and just in the decade I’ve been here, I’ve seen some shit.
The unsolved Hitchbot murder, and then a local radio station’s attempt to repair our good name before the Pope arrived.
The dumpster pools in Kensington.
When the Eagles won the Super Bowl and chaos ensued. I can’t find any source on this in particular, but my gf and I agree we heard on the police scanners that a giraffe had been freed from the zoo and was running down Girard.
Drumline Elmo, who has become as big a celebrity in the city as Gritty.
Gritty, who is a national hero in our eyes.
All of which doesn’t even factor in the everyday life crazy. This place is wild, and I’m all for it.
Aren’t NDAs unenforceable against illegal conduct anyway?
Yes, absolutely. You can’t sue someone for violating an NDA if they did so to report a crime.
But a lot of people are morons that don’t understand how the law works.
but if you don’t eat the bandaids you can’t have pudding, that’s how this works right?
Which is kinda ironic since most TJs brand stuff is a knockoff of something else. But I get it, because TJs quality is awesome.
I’d say Delaware.
They were the first state to sign the Constitution (barely, Pennsylvania was only a week later) and they’ve been kinda coasting on that ever since. The state only has about a million people total, whereas Philadelphia right next door has 1.5m just in the city proper. I-95, one of the busiest highways in America, cuts across the top and you can go across the state that way in 1/2 an hour. We usually have to remind ourselves that Wilmington exists when we think of the Northeast Corridor.
And yet, due to a ton of unique state laws to make DE business friendly, this tiny-ass mostly-forgotten state is the corporate home of over 1.4 million corporations, including 2/3 of Fortune 500 companies. And the state has no sales tax, so most people only go there to buy booze and TVs.
They make sailboat yachts too, there’s a whole show on bravo about it.
