Bought seed potatoes for the garden. I'm gonna finally have a garden! Yay! I bought Red Pontiac spuds which is what my grandpa grew because they are hardy and can withstand temp extremes.
So, polar bears don't hibernate. That's interesting.

They don't go extinct when the ice melts either, they just move further south and eat whatever else looks tasty. They've survived many ice age and global warming events.

Another interesting thing is that if you shave a polar bear, you get a black bear. They have black skin. I do not recommend shaving them though, it makes them very angry.
My all time favorites: a gang of elk. A prickle of hedgehogs. A cackle of hyenas. A pride of lions. A crash of rhinoceroses. A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. A kaleidoscope of butterflies.
Turtles can be surprisingly fast (and a group of them are called a bale).

Since I live in a place where hay balers are common, I now wonder what a turtle baler would look like.

And why.
Recently changed my name to Noah since people kept misgendering me as she with the other one. I honestly don't understand why people assume pronouns and don't ask even if the name seems feminine or not. Makes no sense to me honestly. She pronouns make me feel genuinely ill honestly and I just feel terrible with them. Please don't be disrespectful btw, I just wanted to give the update on my name.

Some people get annoyed when you assume their gender, other people get annoyed when you ask their gender. Someone will always be unhappy :)

Noa (pronounced the same as Noah) is a popular name for girls in Israel!

I think you can buy buttons that state preferred pronouns. You should look into it. When I'm in Ashland I sometimes see trans people and don't know what to call them if I need to. I saw a transboy at a garage sale and wanted to talk to him about the 80s music the estate sale company was playing that he liked but didn't know his pronouns so I didn't.
I spotted my neighbor's dog playing with the cat in a pile of leaves. They look like they were having fun. (Fun Fact: A group of bears are called a sloth).

Despite what one sees in cartoons, dogs and cats CAN pal around together (2 dog, 2 cat household). One of my cats and one of my dogs work together to get treats out of the cupboard. We had to child proof them.

Bears can be rather slothful.
OK, I just watched The Zone of Interest. Easily one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

That is saying a lot. Considering the movies you have seen.

I just checked the summary, it does sound very disturbing in a psychological way

Deeply disturbing film, outlining the ideal family life just a wall away from hell on earth. And how one is able to compartmentalize being a loving father from the brutality of routinely administrating a death camp.

To understand the ugliest contradictions of Nazi ideology in terms of compassion for their own, and contempt for so many others viewed upon as vermin.
New machine for work and it's amazing!

Did you get to "office space" the old one out in a field with baseball bats? Haha.

@Dagan these things weigh about eight to ten tons so it'd be very rough on the bats!
It was partially disassembled, moved with industrial jacks and dollies, and loaded onto a lowboy trailer with forklifts.

Ah. It shall get the end of Terminator 2 treatment, then. Melt it!
So, hippos sweat blood and use it as moisturizer. That's...a thing.

I know it's not real blood. I just thought it would be easier to explain.

Some sources claim that the practice of bloodletting developed as a result of people erroneously mistaking hipposudoric acid for actual blood, but sources do not agree on whether this is really how people came to do that or if that is merely a tale.

So that's where blood sweat and tears came from!
I decided that as of a couple of hours from now, I will shut down all Internet browsers, turn off my phone (checking it only once a day for messages), and doing a net browsing detox for a weekend until Monday morning when I return to work and have to start using the Internet browser again.

Be sure to pick up some Calamine lotion when you break out into hives.

(I would. :eek: )
It's been a lot but I am considering leaving the Roman Catholic Church. This has been going on for some time.

This is a youtube channel by a girl that recently left her religion, maybe some of her stories would interest you:

Did you know the hump on the grizzly bear's back is pure muscle? Just in case anyone feels like wrestling one.

I love wrestling grizzly bears. Just the ones I can pick up at queer bars.

Kinda lost interest in such a thing, ever since that Leo DiCaprio movie. Didn't help that I saw it in a shopping maul. :eek:

I think we should make a mash up of The Revenant and The Care Bears Movie.
