Both. They have thick bristly pads in their mouths to grab food, and molars to chew. In manatees, teeth are replaced throughout their lives as the teeth move forward and fall out. Dugongs such as this one have their molars move forward as they wear down but they don't keep creating new ones.
There's a constant stream of water across the cutting/polishing surface, which cools, lubricates, and keeps the dust down. Always wear glasses, mask optional depending on the toxicity of the materials.
The Baringer/Barringer mine (various spellings of John Barringer's name exist) was only operational for a short time as gadolinite was soon replaced by better filament materials, but it was scientifically significant for its mineral specimens. The smoky "black" quartz survives as a curiosity.
Source: Austin Gem and Mineral Society. We have several retired geologists and specialists in many fields, and one led a collecting trip to Black Rock Park. It's now underneath Lake Buchanan, but there was a pretty significant mine called Barringer Hill, producing gadolinite (source of yttrium), and rare earth metals. The surface was not radioactive, but when they dammed the river to make the lakes the mine debris briefly contaminated the area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barringer_Hill
It happened at Black Rock Park, north of Austin TX. There's a smoky quartz seam in the parking lot of the beach, caused by radioactive mine tailings.
It's a race between pandas and koalas to determine which extremely narrow evolutionary track ends first.
It's Texas. Republicans here can openly violate the law and retaliate against the people who report them and still have the support of the public. That big (R) by their names allows them to do whatever the fuck they want.
Texas is the BIGGEST shithole. Everything is bigger in Texas.
I had a horse that stomped on chicks and mice, and chased deer and other animals. She had 8 acres and two barns to roam through, and other horses to boss around. She was just kind of a bitch. Animals have personalities.
I always turned off the heater in the spring and summer because we didn't have air conditioning so it was the best way to cool down. Just pressing as much surface area as possible onto the mattress, and often taking off the sheets on one side to expose the cool plastic. In the winter when the bed heater was on, the cats used to sneak into my room to sleep on my bed and I had to use thicker sheets to prevent accidental claw damage.
I'm gonna play D&D even harder now, because fuck 'em.
Texas has no problems apart from the queers and them damn furries. We don't have poverty, homelessness, rape, drug abuse, alcoholism, pollution, shootings, power grid failures . . . none of that. That's why all of our lawmakers are focused on making sure kids know that white and cisgender is the way to be. And also making sure all kids have to read the Pledge and the Ten Commandments every day. In fact, we have removed all other writing from our schools.
I really enjoyed it. Well done!
By some definitions, all vertebrates are fish. Taxonomy is weird.
Just imagine if he had been female. He would have been told to drink warm milk, lose weight, practice mindfulness, and would still be waiting to be seen by a doctor when the whole crew died.
Well, yeah. It's right in my name.
But have you *seen* Ted Cruz? No, I kid. China is still worse than Greg Abbot and Ted Cruz. But Texas is doing its best to dig itself into that pit.
China sucks, but maybe they'll be better than our current government? Sell Texas to ANYONE but the Republican stooges we've got. Sell us to the British Empire (I would legit punch King Charles right in his goddamn face).
Mine yells "No!" or "Ow!" as he bites, and usually right before biting. It's a handy way for people to tell that it's time to back away. Too bad the cats don't understand that yet.
It's got udders.
One of my cats has a large stuffed hedgehog we call Baby. He carries it around the house and cries until he finds a person who verbally acknowledges him. He then drops Baby like a hot rock and pretends it doesn't exist. We bought Baby and a few other dog toys so he'd stop carrying my husband's fuzzy slippers. He won't touch it when anyone is looking, but it's clearly important to him for some reason. This has been going on for several years.
Wampanoag were a tribe.
I understand that another cat would be too much, but really need the "husband won't let me" card.
There was a job I wanted and I tried to go around Indeed by searching the industry's little classified pages and such. All ads said you had to apply via Indeed. Then Indeed took the post down. Frustration!
I haven't played D&D for at least 10 years, but we're always "playing D&D". Usually Pathfinder 1.0, but we've done Fallout, Old School, and Pathfinder 2.0. Before that, it was D&D 2E and 3.5 with various modifications. D&D is like Xerox, Kleenex, and Coke.
I used the tiny compass on my watch to position a transect line of stakes in a coral reef. A not-at-all-accurate transect line. I had to hammer in a new set of stakes and didn't manage to find all of the originals. Once line was set, I had to catalogue the species found between the stakes. I snapped off a small leaf for identification, and it was actually a bit of fire coral. Not a great first day in the field.
I guess it would work with parrots' desire to look people in the eye while pooping, but would frustrate their urge to slalom their poop down the highest number of surfaces (e.g. shoulder->sleeve->pants->chair->shoe->rug) or the most inconvenient surfaces. My grey tends to poop in one spot in his cage, but also as many places in the house as he can manage.
Like the single Barbary ape males who borrow babies to give to their troop leader to impress him.
Half of a dead animal. This is why I wear shoes, even on the way to the bathroom at night.
My kids' school has been using tiny ducks as a reward for good behavior / achievements, so they're turning up in random places. It apparently doesn't matter that the ducks are useless and kind of generic as long as they are available in multiple colors.
