Somebody might, but as a group they don't value these. They are pretty picky, there's a lot of notes of there.

The type closest to this would be Ladders I think. Like 12345678 or 23456789. True ladder are very rare and valuable but broken ladders are pretty common. By the time you get to something like 67890432 you probably wouldn't have any premium to the average buyer

"Language, too, forces the air from the lungs. Beyond the high walls and barbed wire and checkpoints that pen this place, there is the empire. And the empire as well is cocooned inside its own fortress of language. A language through the prism of which buildings are never destroyed but rather spontaneously combust in which blasts come and go like Chinooks over the mountain, and people are killed as though to be killed is the only natural and rightful ordering of their existence as though living was an aberration.

And this language might protect the empire's most bloodthirsty fringe, but the fringe has no use for linguistic malpractice. It is instead the middle, the liberal, well-meaning, easily upset middle that desperately needs the protection this kind of language provides.

Because it is the middle of the empire that must look upon this and say, yes, this is tragic, but necessary, because the alternative is barbarism, the alternative of the countless killed and maimed and orphaned and left without home; without school, without hospital, and the screaming from under the rubble and the corpses disposed of by vultures and dogs and days old babies left to scream and starve is barbarism."

Um say what? Lichens are a complex composite life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium. Scabs on a rock! The disrespect!

Oh yeah it's not necessarily a listen to your elders post. Often they actually are full of it. Just sometimes when you think "this old bat is crazy" you'll grow up to realize they were 100% right. It's very difficult or impossible to tell which is which at the time.

Authority is bad. When dems are in office. Debt is bad. When dems are in office. Federal overreach is bad. When dems are in office. War is bad. When dems are in office.

I'm sure there's a bunch more. Republicans aren't a real party. They are just an antiparty. Republicans only exist just as the Democrats farther right antagonist.

So you grab the elastic part and shake it out by that. Then try to find the seem. The fold it once or twice, now you roll and ball the rest of it up and cram it in the cabinet before it unrolls.

Some australian raptors will deliberately spread wildfires to hunt. So they probably cook some food, but it's not intentionally for that reason.

Yeah there's enough political news happening these days that I wish we would keep the postings to actual news, instead of you'll never guess what he said about her or she said about him, OMG he is so burned this time!

I'm pretty sure that's the smell they're talking about, they make more of it when disturbed or crushed but it's always a tiny bit there. But pretty sure that's the smell they're speaking of.
