Nah, just a regular noodle ball of nope. Unless they bite you, it gets infected and you choose to ignore it, about the worst a garter snake will do to you is cover whatever part of you is touching them in some stinky piss. Like, leave them alone unless it’s absolutely necessary, but garter snakes are pretty chill.

Garter Snakes

Garter snakes were long thought to be non-venomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed that they produce a neurotoxic venom.[12] Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce and they also lack an effective means of delivering it. In a few cases, some swelling and bruising has been reported.[13] They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouths[14] but their gums are significantly larger and the secretions of their Duvernoy’s gland are only mildly toxic.[13][15]

Depends on how much you mind restoration/cleaning work for fountain pens. I’ve already got all the entry tier stuff covered, so buying new pens at MSRP would probably mean somewhere between 1-3 pens, depending on how fancy I’m looking to get. I already have an ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of repair supplies, so I’d be hitting up auctions, personally. Depending on what’s in the lots and how many people notice the contents, 1000€ would probably get me somewhere between 200-400 pens. Probably another 200 or so if I get to count what I could buy with the proceeds of selling off the ones I’m not interested in.

Mostly just sports communities. They tend to post a lot, and I just don’t really care about sports outside of Motorsport. If Arsenal has some insane game, or gets a great player signed, I’ll hear about it at work sooner or later, either from coworkers or a customer. I would say the only big sport that doesn’t apply to between those played in North America and Europe is probably cricket, cause nobody has time for it. Then again, haven’t seen a single cricket post, either.

I can stay current on what’s going on with the NFL, NBA, MLB, Premier League, rugby and even hurling, just by showing up to work, so there’s no real benefit to seeing it here, too.

Also, AI communities get blocked pretty much as soon as they pop up in my feed. The novelty of “Hah, that’s crazy that a computer made this image” has long since worn off, and I have no interest in seeing the umpteenth iteration of some AI take on art or photography.

I don’t have the option ticked to show nsfw content, and people have generally been good about tagging such content, so I haven’t had to block anything there.
