Oy! Rule #1 regarding the harmonic space toads is that we don't talk about the harmonic space toads.

Are you implying that Fusty is an APK sockpuppet?

Interesting theory. Please elaborate.

For that matter, who in their right mind gives their dog pork chop bones? Even if there's no meat left on them, they're great for making soup.

Although the attempt showed character.

Which leads us to... oh dear, pretty much where we are right now. Because there's no such thing as "free for the taking"; everything costs something to someone, somewhere.

The notion that at things can be taken from nature without any cost is (IMO) the central and fatal flaw underlying unbridled capitalism. See David Harvey, The Enigma of Capital.

Only four? A lightweight, obviously.

Push the button, Frank.

Thanks for sharing... I think...

Get down and boogie and play that funky music till you die!

Yeah, in Vermont, it took all of about a year.

Vermont's state constitution forbids slavery and was adopted in 1777.

Several other rebel colonies declared themselves free even before independence was formally gained.

During the Revolutionary War, Britain transported slaves of loyalists to other British colonies. (The slaves were not emancipated.)

There was a British court decision in 1763, but it was not binding overall, seems to have been pretty widely ignored by other British courts at the time, and the matter would not be settled in the British Empire for several more decades.

You also managed to get both dates wrong. Nice going.

We don't actually have any sort of twilight this time of year in Stockholm, even though the sun does go down for about 5½ hours. It gets dark only if it happens to be cloudy between 2200 and 0330.

Not quite the midnight sun thing you hear about (that's further north), but it still takes some getting used to.

You really need some better reading material.

And you're THE ONLY ONE who can see this... right.
