We are also starting to run out of sand suitable for making glass. No glass, no plastic I guess we can go with cardboard containers like we do for milk.

We are also starting to run out of sand suitable for making glass.

at first I thought you were joking, but it makes sense that it's special sand. The way these things work, usually, is that instead of running out, they just get more expensive. There are exceptions, like living natural resources that can really go to zero, but I have to believe this is not a case of that.

for club soda, I'm trying 7.5 oz aluminum cans ... since they are not 12 oz perhaps I can tolerate the idea of the waste. And live with the fact that if you want just a splash, it might have to be regular water

For some reason some people influential enough to answer people's questions think whether or not an animal can get rabies is about whether they are warm-blooded or not, cold-blooded being in the clear ... I have to say it's pretty clear this is not correct, since birds are warm-blooded and don't get rabies.

Viruses are very specific infectious agents, something that has different enough DNA is going to avoid the same virus as a vulnerable species [it has been explained to me] which I believe is the correct reason birds and reptiles don't get it.

why don't birds and reptiles get rabies?

Rabies affects only mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded animals with fur. People are also mammals. Birds, snakes, and fish are not mammals, so they can't get rabies and they can't give it to you.

Probably just not correct about the body temperature. Marsupials are different in DNA enough that this is probably the real reason.

Why can't opossums get rabies?

In theory being warm-blooded mammals, a kangaroo could become infected with rabies if bitten by an infected animal. But, Australia is free of rabies so it would almost have to be in a country where rabies is more common. If a kangaroo was bitten by another animal that had rabies it could certainly carry it. [Quora again. I am wondering if Australia has no rabies since mammals had to be introduced and includes things introduced like rabbits, which don't get rabies for some reason]

I did learn recently coconut trees aren't native to Florida. They were brought here by people.

Will 1 grape hurt a dog?

Unlike some foods that are only toxic to dogs in large amounts, a single grape can be enough to cause kidney failure in dogs. If your dog eats a grape, you should call your vet as soon as possible to figure out what to do

Never knew that about grapes and dogs. I once was taking off the that red band that was on baloney slices, and accidently dropped it. and the dog swallowed it in midair. I assume baloney was sliced in a machine that created that bit of plastic, and don't know that I've seen it in a long time.

There's no 3 second rule if a dog is lying in wait.

you can still get baloney where you have to take off the strips of plastic

chocolate is another no-no for dogs, but apparently grapes are worse

dogs have died from eating hops that homebrewers discarded, being attracted by the remnants of sugars I guess
