Bay 12 Games Forum

A PC fan should be either 5v or 12v.  It should say on the sticker.

Louisianna is weaksauce.

Go find a good Mexican place, or better still, a good Thai place.

Its a goofy premise about a goofy character who has to learn to deal with his unbridled hormones.

Like, private parts are funny just by their nature.
So is goofy hijinks.

Tastefully handled, it'll just be a pet dog or haunting ghost or something.  It doesnt have to do anything obtuse or overt to be a reference to how our bodies change over time and we have to check our changing emotions and confront the need for social norms while still being accommodating to those who have divergences from that norm.

There's a certain amount of maturity and grace this show can take.  What if wallace and gromit, but dicks?

It's more.. Hmm...  John is an ordinary guy, who happens to have a penis with a mind of its own, and his having to learn to deal with it.

The pilot episode (Ok, fine, I will give a link) has him trying to have a simple brautwurst BBQ, but being interrupted by a member of his household, and told to walk the dogs.  He wants to buy replacement brautwurst, 9since his attempts to light the BBQ were previously met with disaster after his prehensile penis tried to light it in a dangerous fashion) but the dogs desperately want to go pee on the telephone pole.  To be able to reach the brautwurst vendor's window, he uses his penis to hold the dog's leashes, while he conducts the transaction, then discretely returns home to grill the new brautwurst.

Upon arriving home, his family member had volunteered him to walk all the other dogs on the block.  Things go sideways quickly.


If any of our European friends is fluent in Danish, I would love to know what everyone is saying.

In the back of his mind, Jack was very happy to have the little pixie's help-- It was a strange, and welcome feeling to have another talking being that shared his innate connection with nature, but he had never lived in a magical forest before.  He had no real clue how to care for her, or even what her needs were at all. He did not even know what she ate.  This lack of knowledge bothered him, and more still, her own amnesia about the situation bothered him more still. 

He made room off to the side of the leafy mattress he had made for himself inside the covered up brushpile for her, and hoped for the best, giving her assurances that perhaps her memories would return, and until then, she could trust him not to be a menace; If there was anything she needed, he would be happy to help her with it.

Absently, he clutched his ursine companion close, unconsciously stroking her fur behind her ears, while her head was draped over his shoulder, thinking about how to go about this seemingly insurmountable task of fixing the malevolence that was whispering everywhere around them.

The innocent creatures... Like Mama, and little Plune...  They deserved better than what they were getting.  Needed better.

Slowly, sleep came.

So.

I saw the news about the yet-to-be-aired new children's television show from Denmark, called John Dillermand.

Due to forum rules, I cannot provide a link, but I read about it on CNN's website.



I think it belongs in this thread.

The crushed glass adds a nice crunch!

I have heard of applesauce being used as egg substitute, at least for sweet tasting baked goods.

In the case of cornbread though, I would be hesitant to substitute the egg.  It is a structural component of the cornbread, since corn flour lacks gluten.

Pretty much, that is indeed the case.  (humans routinely underestimating animal intelligence, either because it is different from theirs, is not highly pro-social like theirs, or the animal has a convenient material utility, which accepting the intelligent nature of the animal would make difficult to exploit.)


I would again point out the data presented by the USDA concerning total cattle operations, and the number of actual factory dry feedlots in the country. It really is around 50 total.  They just happen to also be basically concentration camps for cows.  (and naturally, I am strongly against their use)

Those 50 or so drylots produce a very alarming amount of beef in the US, but it is not upwards of 50%. (I will need to re-read the figures-- it HAS been over a year, and we HAVE had an international pandemic up our asses. Lots of stuff on my mind chasing things out lately.)  Removing the drylots would reduce beef availability, but not by the seemingly expected amounts imagined by vegans.  People need to eat less meat anyway, and the subsequent rise in beef prices would only be beneficial in cementing the natural pasturage operations: The beef production would be the most profitable use of that land. (and if coupled with quality regulations prohibiting the destruction of other kinds of habitat to produce cattle, and similar methods to prevent people being idiots, and destroying farmland to raise cattle, seeking that high high price per pound of flesh, it not be a significant source of problems.) Most of the issues with zoonotic pathogens comes from people feeding cattle absurd amounts of corn and silage, which is highly acidic, and basically gives the cows dietary distress, which makes them susceptible to diseases. To combat that, they shoot the cattle full of lots of antibiotics, because those are cheap, and proper pasturage is expensive.  Proper regulation to prohibit drylot operations, would make it nonsensical to continue such practices.  This would have a naturally correlated reduction in the amount of antibiotics shot into cattle, and thus strongly reduce the capacity for the cattle ranching operations to produce antibiotic-resistant superbugs.


Beef and other meat products SHOULD be expensive.  That is kinda necessary, since the demand for the product is not going to go down. (Only the supply, through regulation.)  I do not consider that a bad thing, since again, a high unit price means highly profitable cattle ranching operations on appropriate grazelands, and would be a strong incentive to not over-extend the pasturage (since drylotting would be illegal, and overpasturage results in drylot conditions.)

You would have lots of angry cattle farmers looking at "how much they COULD be making if you would just allow drylotting again", but that is not the same thing as cattle ranching being unprofitable. If there is any lesson this century should have writ large, it is that unregulated capitalist enterprises fuck the commons faster than anything else.  Regulation is a good thing. Embrace it. Demand it. That very same regulation should also prohibit the clearcutting or conversion of inappropriate biomes to convert them into pasture.
