@tonic , she sure is. She loves to cuddle, and really likes people.
Last m9n $caturday post. I'm allergic to the little buggers, which is really annoying since I live them. But, I rescue parrots, so meet my 'cat', Blueberry
Great video about drones:
@wall0159 There are more factors. What part of the Subaru is recyclable? How about the new EV? What energy sources will charge your EV?
@Free_Press How can we get him to change his mind??
@w7voa < pet trade, or bio warfare attempt?
@Styx , I googled up alternative definitions for IDE too... then I got it.
@Styx , IDE and SCSI are types of hard drives. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what a hard drive type had to do with stabbing... SCSI is pronounced "scuzzy" so I assumed this was a scuzzy joke...
@Styx , I expected this to be a SCSI joke...
@J3Words@mas.to , one of the most awesome people in the world is stealing this.
@fungible_thadius , I moved to a pressure cooker. It really speeds up the process, and I think the end quality is better.

@mcc maybe this will help:

@LindaVT just sat down at a computer, and the wiki on the Raccoon Dog is pretty good. They are very distantly related to foxs. They are canids, but a species all its own. There is a map of where they originate, and where they were introduced and are invasive.
Just a side note...
@Freedom2B @w7voa that I understand. But that isn't quite my question. My question is that if I see an organism, and study the organism, does it help me to know about the organism's genetic code better if I know it's origin from a host in the past? Or will modern gene sequencing make that knowledge superfluous?
I'm physics, not biology, and I have a tendency to look at things in situ. That may not be the correct term... I mean in the place they are now, in the state they are now. Previous conditions just seem irrelevant to me. If looking at f=ma, stdying a rock in motion, there are no terms that apply for what happened to that rock yesterday.
@LindaVT, ya, I just learned that today. I'm not impressed with bush meat trade, anywhere in the world. I'm not overly impressed with farmed animal trade either... but at least that doesn't spread disease.
@LindaVT a really pretty creature that looks like a dog and a raccoon had pups. I don't think it's related to either, and is apparently an invasive species in some parts of the world. Really neat animals, amazingly adaptable.
@breadandcircuses , I highly doubt this is even close to truth. What would they buy, and from who? Would those purchases spur a population boom and be self defeating?
@lowqualityfacts , Doritos were also used to construct a livable geodesic dome, or Bucky Home in Alaska that survived the 1964 earthquake.
@Freedom2B @w7voa , do you think knowing the origins helps us know the genetics?
