Bubonic plague is still a thing.

It is supposed to have a sync option but I don’t care about that.

I’m here wondering if it will be a good time to switch over to Devuan

Exactly.

I once read an article where a biologist stated that herbivores should be instead considered oportunistic carnivores.

A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

It wasn’t casual, it wasn’t out of hunger.

The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

Toblerone hit the spot. It was supposed to be swiss chocolate. But I still owe two people a bar of Toblerone of each kind.

After that is paid…

Das Boot comes to mind. Saw an essay on it the other day and I was horrified.

I’d join such community.

My country has a few. Unfortunately, most are “art” cinema with no real interest.

I don’t disagree. As little as that may seem or be, comercial agreements already carry a lot with them. The demand for standards alone implies a good deal of common ground.

The dogs I have at home would strongly disagree with you.

They will look up at me and judge me if I am not reading their mind to satisfy their wishes of food, my food to them, walks or pets.

Fruit, in particular, will earn me pleading/accusing stares, followed by paw strikes to my legs.

What they won’t do is stare down on me. I can’t lie on the ground. That gets me licks and growls to get me off the floor. They will get stressed and even bark and growl at each other if I’m on the floor.

Human down is a no-no.

QED

Either I pick you up or rotate your head.

I would rather do the first. The second can incurr in serious harm.

I’ve raised pigs and seen wild boars do the exact same thing in order to “look up”: they sit, in order to elevate their angle of vision.

Humans can’t look behind themselves. The neck does not rotate that far. The solution: the entire body rotates.

It’s close to the perfect time. But coming back will not be easy.

Don’t get a domestic robot. Remain autonomous. Rely on other human beings.

And buy a sledgehammer.

One way or another, we need to live. And it is impossible, for all practical purposes, to produce everything we need to lead a well balanced and reasonable life.

It holds a degree of validity, but like all absolutes, it leaves out everything between complete lack and total abuse.

Search enough and you’ll discover that every company on the planet has some shady stuff in the closet.

Best we can do is support the small, more ethical, companies and exploit to our best the others.

So swearing is the natural human booster and it is scientifically demonstrated?

Any more and trying to read that would give me a brain hemorrage.

Two pronged attack

That’s lung cancer territory!
