I got Amazon to deliver Traeger pellets and Kamado Joe big lump charcoal. Gotta love prime.

I put her squarely in the MILF camp. You do the math.

How many rabbits do you have?!
Eh, we have one and we do the same. It's cheaper to buy bulk and it doesn't take up that much space. 25 lbs is good for a few months.

I trust that these are Scottish mountain hares, as precedent dictates?

Possibly ones from Caerbannog, judging from their food consumption rate

Saw a headline today that said something like "People are wrong about what the opposite sex wants: Women overestimate men's preference for being thin and Men overestimate women's desire for big muscles"

Then you go look at the source data and you see these representations of the perceived ideals:

Headline is a bunch of bullshit. The difference there is barely perceptible.

The real headline should be "Men and women know exactly what the opposite sex wants."

Sure the women's estimates are slightly slimmer and the men's estimates are slightly more muscular...but everyone still picked skinny women and athletic males as the ideal...the original headline (and any write-up without the picture) is just there to make people say "Ah, see, women don't actually want me to have muscles, those meatheads in the gym are just misguided" and vice versa. Totally misleading.

LOL that source data can't be right. Either they made a mistake or you are being trolled. Also there are a ton of other research confirming more or less the same thing. Find them on google scholar.

I can't overestimate my preference for thin women.

You save a ton buying in bulk. $30 for 25 lbs. vs. $19 for 10 lbs. Lasts about 4 months. I also finally gave in and bought a 50 lbs. box of hay, too. It's $50 vs. around $166 if you buy the bags the pet store sells, and hay lasts for a year. The hay takes up a lot of space, though.

The prices are weird on this stuff. A 9 lbs. bag of hay is $24. A 6 lbs. bag of hay is $20. A 25 lbs. box is $50, and a 50 lbs. box is $60.

I'm getting addicted to buying in bulk like Kramer. Just bought a 25 lbs. bag of King Arthur flour at Costco for $13. That'd be $25+ if you buy it at the grocery store.

That's because the things are all very shipping cost dependent. That's the biggest problem with Amazon loss of single items being shipped is super inefficient.
