I had to wrangle a blackberry thicket into submission. Welding gloves never come in anything remotely my size and after a few hours my hands want to kill me. Goat leather is about as thin as dishwashing gloves, minus the sweating. The brambles are history, unexpectedly easy with the right gear. Or you could get the live goats to eat the brambles, but they won't help hold a pissed off cat.

I doubt it's real. But ya, they're not stress-resilient animals, that would be a quick way to kill the poor critter.

For next time, check gardening shops for goat leather gloves. The long ones for cutting roses. Thin and flexible enough to feel what you're holding but extremely puncture resistant. For an animal with significant bite- or grip strength padding is a good idea, for "just" slashing attacks thin gloves are great.

And yet, here we seem to go again...
As long as the people who play shitty games like this aren't also those who get maimed and die, I fear the lessons won't stick.

He doesn't know. What he doesn't know could fill a library (starting with elementary school books). If he did know he wouldn't give a fuck. Why would he, no one is stopping him.

Was about to suggest chicken. Not furry but cuddly lap pets and the vet bills are lower (downside: livestock vets are harder to find). But if that is already too much chicken won't fit either :( Knitted support chicken?

So you want 10.000 pages that sound like the paperwork that got them approved 60 years ago? Generating........... What could possibly go wrong?

That lower leg cut like a little flag on a bone stick is something I've never seen. So I was hoping for some new recipe to try. For stir fry I'd cut it against the grain, but yes, for very thin schnitzel and co. it would work. Or something wrapped in chicken. Or chicken cordon bleu. But with skin? That would be delicious as something crispy

What's next? Is there a specific recipe that needs the chicken sliced like this?

It's a RELIEF when the attention ends. Just going on about my life without stupid comments from the sidelines? I love it. One of the greatest perks of ageing.

It's actually quite good, other people like it too. Not far off from cesar salad dressing.
An actual family recipe nightmare: Fleischkäse (processed meat slab somewhere in the area of hotdog) pan fried to hockey puck color and a somewhat styrofoam texture, noodles and tomato sauce with LOTS of added sugar. As a kid that was normal, as an adult it's a crime against food. Worse, WAY worse: great-grandma from ITALY "invented" it. Her ancestors must be puking in their graves.

Is noodle salad minus the noodles weird enough? Mayo, 10% fat yogurt, worcester sauce, garlic, onion powder. Can of peas, can of corn, pack of sliced hot dogs. Parmesan or other hart cheese, grated, is a good addition. And walnuts, but only if there's cheese, otherwise absolutely not. When there's walnut, pomegranate seeds are an option.

Camembert with cranberries is a classic. Friends slowly expanded the combinations to like emmental and red currant jam until they ended up with gouda and strawberry jam (shudder), from there it's just a small step to cake and cheese. I'll have to suggest it.

It's just so ridiculous to have to deal with this at all. We have general health care, I pay 25% of my income into it. That's a lot, but when I need medical care, it's available. It's not without problems, privatized, for-profit systems tend to go to shit, but everything is still so much cheaper when the insurances collectively haggle for good prices because they have a fixed budget.

How many point-down triangle street signs do you have in your country? We have a whole bunch of triangular warning signs but they're all pointing up. Here this one is "yield", no other sign is that shape.

It gets fun when a provider is "in" at one place but "out" at another. A friend had an obgyn who was covered at the office but not at the hospital. That was an expensive surprise. Or your surgeon is "in" but the anesthesiologist is not. Hmmm, medical debt or appendix out without anesthesia, choices, choices...

It's a swarm of bees. They hang out in clumps like this while scouts look for a new home. As soon as they calculate the best option or realize there's nothing good in the area they move on. They're peaceful unless some ass throws a rock at them.

Polish have eyes but that huge poof of head feathers can get too big and/or hang down too far. Then it's time dar a haircut. They're supposed to be bred towards a better field of vision than this but show breeders still go for as much poof as possible.

"um fahren" is rather colloquial, to hit someone with a vehicle and they fall over. "umfahren" to drive around sth. "überfahren" to run someone over.

The museum then has to spend money on insuring the crap. And the billionaire can request to get the picture back at any time, it's often not a donation but a loan. Otherwise the museum could sell the inflated piece and buy something good instead, or slash entry prices so more people get to enjoy art and education.

I'll take the sour cream, you can have everything else. I like sweets, but that there? It's insane.

Needs to go up further. Why should we, in a different country, who do not have any say in this, pay $9/gal while you don't? Reap the full consequences of what you sow. Maybe that will finally shake people up enough to change something.

Turn off the water, then check whether the sprinkler system has its own water supply.

Antifa lied and made up stories he believed and that's why he did what he did. Not dear leader riled him up, it was imposters. Human brains aren't logical. Whatever thought runs on repeat, best with some emotional load like hatred or fear, becomes "reality". Memories aren't solid and true, they're malleable.

Ehhhh nope. Unless "increasingly shifting" means "we built a second sample house with this stuff". Way too slow, and looks like there are more ways it could fail than with normal mortar.
