Fucking squirrels!

They built a nest in one half of my engine, including hundreds of pine cones from the air intake into the filter and all over the engine...which expanded to clog and crush everything. Also grass, leaves, plastics bags and Subway M&M cookies.

Luckily they didn't chew wires which I've heard can be $$$ to fix.

Opened a canna pine-cones 'n moth wings with THAT one...

that's cool, I'm a few pine cones short of a forest myself

Most interesting restaurant? Maybe. Best restaurant, no way. I'd rather have a great Boconcinni di Vitello in the North End in Boston than some pine-cone foam.

sped up, reversed and looped from the looks of it (if you watch whatever is hanging on the far right of the image). [and the repeated green flash of light]

Now I wish I had a pine cone so I could check it just closes when you pour water on it.

offtopic? This is on a pinecone vid

In reply to this comment by yaroslavvb:
I've watched half of the second video, and they propose to abolish private lending at interest, just letting the government print money to finance its spending. There is a couple of problems with this:

1. If the government is elected like in US, it would be motivated to print large amounts of money to coincide with elections, to increase it's electability. This was seen with Carter administration putting pressure on the Fed to lower interest rates (thereby increasing money supply), that were raised to battle stagflation. Fed didn't bulge, Carter got voted out, and Fed managed to conquer the stagflation crisis. US government being forced to borrow from the Fed puts a check on irresponsible spending, likely to prevent hyperinflation episodes like in Russia or Yugoslavia

2. If there's no private lending with interest, how would promising ventures get funded? Surely we couldn't have some government bureaucrat review funding for every start-up
