I roasted a bunch of tomatoes a few days ago. Filled a 9x13 pan with a variety but mostly Campari’s and grape, with a chopped head of garlic a couple of jalapeños, basil, olive oil.
Had some leftover so heated up, a couple of eggs nestled in, and covered with a lid. Yolks were still runny, and wife loved it. A play on shakshuka.

In all seriousness, @MrBig, I was kidding but I wouldn't personally care at all if someone brought a snake around their shoulders like that as long as they weren't letting it crawl around on food or whatever.
As far as worrying about if it's venomous, I'm not sure if you're serious about that but I also recognize that I'm a huge animal nerd and not everyone else is. There are maybe a [very small] handful of venomous snakes you would be able to handle like that without getting bitten, the overwhelming majority of venomous species are simply far too aggressive to drape over your shoulder and walk around with. Certainly none that you could readily find in the US with the exception of a hognose snake, but they're generally too small to carry like that anyway.
At any rate, that's just a [likely red tail] boa. They're completely harmless though they tend to get rather large.
As far as should it be in a grocery store? I mean, probably not, but I would assume if the store had an issue with it they'd ask him to leave or at least not to bring it back next time. Either way, it's a pretty harmless act.

When watching an Austin FC match on Apple TV, I have to set my phone down and take my watch off, because it will notify me of a goal being scored 60-90 seconds before it happens on my screen, so it's a real spoiler. I could disable the app for the match, but I often forget.
mlb app has a toggle to delay notifications by 30 seconds so your stream can get there first. making it adjustable might be the next step.

really liked this season a lot, final fight scene was fantastic. obviously not following the books to a high degree of fidelity but that might be ok, most stuff isn't written to be translated directly to tv (and the books had far too many lines going, jordan thought one more book needed to be written and sanderson wrote 3). do need more of rand starting to deal with who he is. hopefully they can get a greenlit for a few more seasons because it really feels like it has hit its stride and gone from fantasy side project to solid B/B+ tv.
