Spotted water hemlock

"The confusion with parsnips can be fatal as C. maculata is extremely poisonous. It is considered to be North America's most toxic native plant."

"The chief poison is cicutoxin, an unsaturated aliphatic alcohol that is most concentrated in the roots. Upon human consumption, nausea, vomiting, and tremors occur within 30–60 minutes, followed by severe cramps, projectile vomiting, and convulsions."

It supposedly tastes good though.

Also my co-workers and conservative family love to say it whenever a Republican does something illegal or immoral. It's a scape goat they throw out when they get backed into a corner and can't face the fact that they're wrong.

That's what I'm thinking too. Because to say that Putin has something on Trump at this point, is in some ways taking agency away from Trump. But I think Trump and the other Putin lovers are terrible enough people on their own. He doesn't need to have any dirt on them, they just want to work with him because they think he's doing well for himself, and they want that kind of power too. It feels like a much simpler explanation.

It makes me think Putin doesn't actually have anything on Trump and the other Russia loving Republicans. They just really like him and are envious of his authoritarian regime.

I think if your friends are coming to you and asking for help, then you're in the clear. Part of being a know-it-all/mansplaining, is that nobody asked and they decided they needed to bestow that information onto others.

Source? I haven't seen anything about this.

That was kind of mean and unnecessary.

To add to the point of cheaper versions. Best buy does this and those items will have a different SKU. They also don't bother to take the regular version off their website, so you can check it against that. From what I remember when my ex worked there, it was a combination of removing features/ports, and lower quality control.

This article is misleading. If a car crash is bad enough that it damages the frame of a car, it's going to get totalled anyway. So either way it's going to go to a junk yard and get slowly parted out.
