Comment on A Texas horned toad once survived thirty-one years in a time capsule in ~humanities.history
Foreigner Link ParentYeah this falls under the "orphan-crushing machine" category of story for me. Assuming this is true, that poor lizard was imprisoned for 31 years with no food, water, light, etc.Yeah this falls under the "orphan-crushing machine" category of story for me.

Foreigner LinkTrash salad: can of corn, can of beans, can of tuna, mix together, add salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy I'll add some frozen chopped shallots, chives, or spring onions.Trash salad: can of corn, can of beans, can of tuna, mix together, add salad dressing.

I've heard good things about horse meat but only ever had dried before. There used to be a few horse meat butchers in Paris but there's only one left now (the horse meat scandal during the 2010s probably contributed). If I ever swing by that area I'll see if I can get some sausages and give them a try!

Stick it in a sausage however and I'm game (heh). Love me some boar sausages as well. I think if it's mixed up in a pâté or a sausage with some spices, extra fat, and some other meats (like pork) it might be more enjoyable? Though if it hasn't taken off here (and they sure do love their game meat in France), I also don't expect it to be popular elsewhere.

The taste is apparently somewhere in between rabbit and hare. I've only ever had rabbit and find it a bit meh (like pretty much all game meat) but if you enjoy either of those this might be up your alley!

Once we dealt with the infestation I bought bottles of sprayable bleach and used it everywhere that wasn't made of fabric. I then went over with disinfectant wipes but that was just for extra peace of mind.

Comment on Piglets will be left to starve in a controversial art exhibit in Denmark – Marco Evaristti aims to raise awareness of the suffering caused by modern pig production in ~arts
Foreigner Link ParentYeah, this certainly raises eyebrows for me: Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_(artwork)Yeah, this certainly raises eyebrows for me:
In 2008, Evaristti announced that he and musician Kenneth Thordal were planning another artwork involving goldfish, called FIVE2TWELVE. At this exhibition, the body of American death row inmate Gene Hathorn Jr. would be turned into freeze-dried fish food and placed in front of a pool of goldfish, and the audience would have to choose between feeding the fish with freeze-dried human meat and letting them starve to death.[7] The plans were abandoned the following year, when Hathorn's sentence was commuted to three concurrent life sentences.

If he goes through with what he says though, I expect the people's focus will be on the cruelty of this specific act, rather than the thing it is criticizing (as we're seeing on this very post).

Foreigner Link ParentI get the point, but I imagine to people who care about animal welfare, this feels like gassing a human being in front of one's eyes to make people face the horrors of Auschwitz. As is pointed out...I get the point, but I imagine to people who care about animal welfare, this feels like gassing a human being in front of one's eyes to make people face the horrors of Auschwitz. As is pointed out in the article, these three piglets are individuals too. Making them slowly starve to death is no better than what the industry is doing. I'm hoping the artist is doing this purely for shock factor and won't actually go through with starving them.

I think this has promise, and it would be great if it's greenlit to become a full on series. If they're able to do something like Helluva Boss and stay independent it would be even better. Kiana may have a big enough fanbase to make it happen.

We decided to postpone our holiday in the end. Logistically, financially, and most importantly for our daughter's wellbeing, we felt it just wasn't a good idea to fly. The first few days were somewhat rough, but she's getting more and more used to using her crutches. She'll be racing down the corridors in no time. Thank you again to all who responded!

It's a short flight but I don't want to risk her getting hurt.
The office chair is a good idea, she has her own office chair and I can definitely see her wheeling that thing around the house and wreaking havoc :)

For the flight I'm planning to call the airport to see how they can accommodate if at all. We may end up getting a wheelchair ourselves but I'll definitely be asking for their help one way or another if we're able to go.
It's a great show, I'm stoked they renewed it. I wish they'd do the same with Scavenger's Reign, which is also from one of the creators (and I also highly recommend). I hope you enjoy it!
