Nope, the exterior shots from the Shining, including the photo above, are Timberline lodge. They make a rather big deal about it.

Head shape is generally only a way to tell families of snakes apart. In the US, colubrids, that have narrow heads, are mostly non-venomous (some have a mild venom and “rear” fangs that calm prey they are eating) and aren’t harmful to humans. That means the majority of danger comes from vipers that have wedge-shaped heads with huge venom glands. It should be noted that one of the most venomous snakes in the US is the coral snake which is an elapid and lacks the viper head shape as well.

It seems there is some confusion. They aren’t saying “this snake is black so it is harmless”. They’re saying this is Pantherophis obsoletus, commonly known as “black snakes” or “black rat snakes”, which are harmless. If it is long and wiggly-looking and somewhere weird (in NA), it’s a black rat snake. You can also tell by the shape of the head and the hint of splotchy white scales peeking out from its belly.

If you feel like there are unanswered questions in the show, read the books. There’s 3 whole novels after the show’s end point.

Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

To be fair, we all share DNA with mammals, birds, and reptiles because that’s how common ancestors work!

If I remember correctly, listerine started off as the first surgical scrub then was later altered to be marketed as a mouth wash.

I was in the same boat a year ago. I am so tired of non-stick pans being useless after a year and wanted something that cooks well but is low maintenance. I got an enameled la creuset skillet and I love it! Easy to use if you use a little oil, and doesn’t need to be seasoned, and doesn’t have a single scratch in it like a non-stick would by now. I highly recommend!

That actually looks like a male so either dad or brother! It’s extra cute because some male rhesus can be very aggressive to younger monkeys but some can also be very loving. <3

It’s important to note the ballot measure passed w/ 68%. Even much of their base is sick of this shit.

…has been shown to produce positive outcomes similar to rat-rat interaction! Get him lots of toys too! Rats love gnawing more than anything!

Doing social pairing with a rat that has been alone a while can be tricky, especially a male. Good news is playing/interacting with humans…
