        I always wanted to ask but haven’t been able to until now…

        When you’re building the strawman, do you do it while the straw is still wet and then wait for it to dry or do you wait for the straw to cure first and then build it?

        I’d imagine fungus would be a key reason in the choice but I’m still unsure about the process and figured I’d ask an expert…

        Thanks in advance!

          Fun fact about straw, you have to keep the bales dry, because if they get wet they start to decompose, which generates heat, and since straw traps air, it’s insulating, meaning it can get hot enough to catch fire!

          After looking up a few tutorials for making a scarecrow, it looks like using dried filling is best.

        Comparing the spying that both of these countries do on innocent citizens, as if they are anything alike, is demented.

        It’s not apples to apples. It’s comparing an orange to the sun.

          You’re right, the us govt captures all internet traffic, all calls, all texts, and has complete subpoena power for all companies that interact with anything in the us; while deploying drones, planes, and satellites that watch us citizens; while encouraging citizens to sell each other out to the government.

          It’s not comparable.

            As with all of the people agreeing with the government that created the is graphic, you clearly missed the point of my comment.

            Show me a government that has the capability to do that but doesn’t do it. And I’ll show you some other way in which it is significantly deficient.

            You all suffer from some significant brainwashing.
