Live Doxxing Via Butter Factory at 7!

To clarify, this isn’t like brick houses or anything modern built into a foundation. It’s mainly old wooden houses that are up on stilts. Generally the stilts are for airflow and sometimes because you live in an area that floods

Sometimes people semi build them in with like fencing (above left), as like an entertainment area or for storage or parking. They aren’t always up high enough to stand under though, some sit quite low, and again they are for airflow so completely building them in would defy the point

That said, some people do choose to convert the underside to inside. But generally those aren’t the ones you see being moved. And are in an area where they aren’t as worried about flooding

This is a look at the process for moving/re-stumping (changing out the stilts if they are rotting). To be honest I couldn’t tell you how it’s done, but it looks impressive watching a house be lifted and carted away

Most of these style of houses started off fairly small, like 4/5 rooms and a porch, so they will fit on a single truck. Bigger houses are chopped up and transported in chunks

Generally when you see one of them on the highway it means pulling over so they can pass. They have several cars escorting them with lights and signs (and sometimes police) so you know when you are approaching one. They also try to move them at quieter times, like late at night so there are less people on the road. They do not sneak up on you

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.

dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!

although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!

on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.

furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.

annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D

As for the study itself, the 360 day follow up on stage 3 kidney failure kitties showed that the control had a survival rate of about 20%, while the test group had a survival rate of 80%
