How did it die? Backyard compost or something that is being sent off to an industrial facility? Where do you live, in the city or do you have a little land?

Found a dead jackrabbit in my yard, don’t know how it died. Industrial facility, city.

Depends where you live but all the places I've lived do not want meat or bones in the bins

Do you set an alarm clock for the morning to wake your ass up?

Daily? Work days only? Special occasions? Never?

I set an alarm almost every day. It's pretty rare, though, that I'm not up before the alarm ever goes off.

It's just a safety measure anymore.

Joe gets it. It's a safety net.

But turn that shit off on weekends. If you sleep in, you probably needed it.
