Oh, I don’t know. Waterbeds had a certain reputation back in the day, nudge nudge, wink wink. That’s probably why my oldest brother kept his so long, and why he and his wife had so many kids.

Hey, give me some wasabi paste and soy sauce and I will quite happily eat raw fish. 🙂

You can do a ketogenic diet with no meat at all. Children with epilepsy that didn’t respond to medication used to be put on a high fat ketogenic diet. The fat can be vegetable based.

Oddly enough, that diet can also be used to treat menopausal hot flashes. I had a bad reaction to HRT, so I tried the high fat keto diet for a couple of months and went from having about 12 flashes a day down to 2 or 3.

The Inuit avoided scurvy by eating some of their fish and meat raw during long Arctic winters. Apparently there is some vitamin C in raw flesh which is destroyed by cooking.

The risk of parasite infestation increases, but they probably learned what to watch out for, just as they learned to avoid eating polar bear livers.

I too can shoot superheated air at my enemies, especially if I have been eating kale.

Aw. Hope you feel better soon.

A little of H, a little of F.

Shotty or shitty, that is the question.

I have seen photographs of this, but have never seen it in person. I wonder what special conditions are necessary for this to happen?

Interesting. We found some 3/8" drywall in the 1913 house, dating from some renovations that appeared to have been done in the 1950s or 60s. We also found a mummified sandwich.

Modern lumber is planed, so some of that difference is because of losses from that. If you open up the walls of a house built 100+ years ago, you see these thick rough wall studs that never went through a planer. Even with shrinking, it’s close to being actual 2" x 4".

At one time a 2 x 4 really was 2" x 4". Very old houses will have these in the walls, not planed and quite rough and splintery. I think I still have splinters from the 1913 bungalow I renovated more than 30 years ago.

For anyone wondering, it’s this one:

I wonder if the artist was trying to show that airs above ground thing that the Lippizan horses do?

What happens when you elect the alligator to drain the swamp it lives in? Such a mystery. 🤔

The reason behind the buffalo’s attack on the trackers remains unclear>

Well, just a wild guess, but “These creatures are shooting at me and want to kill me” sounds like a pretty good reason.
