Indeed. Placoid scales are a defining feature of Elasmobranchs.

There was a shawarma place I used to go to that had an interesting “garlic sauce”. You couldn’t call it toum, as it was either not whipped with oil or they stopped after adding a splash. It had the appearance of being just very finely chopped garlic, like somebody ran it through a food processor until it was almost a paste. And fuck, it was so good on their donair pizzas. We used to get a small tub to go with it, but after a slice of the pizza, a sip of beer would set your tongue on fire. And the next morning, shaving would make the bathroom smell like fresh garlic. Definitely too much, but oddly worthwhile from time to time.

But coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10.

There’s nothing like the sight of a shorn Skarsgård; it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

Renew! Renew!

TYL farmers aren’t simple gatherers.

But you are using the human resource of labour to gather it. We use our bodies to produce all goods and services. I take your point, I just don’t think most people consider basic survival tasks to be a profession. A profession is probably best considered to be the first abstraction layer that allows you to do an activity other than those basic tasks to survive.

Omg I am dying lol

Pretty sure you weren’t born with food.

And the first resource was…

Yeah, and it’s gonna be on the Saturday after no matter what day that turns out to be.

Here comes the airplane!

It’s a commonly commiserated problem because it impacts different people to differing degrees. Some are actually impaired by the light, and I imagine others just complain because they have to avert their gaze to the edge of the road but don’t actually lose their night vision. But if you have ever had LASIK, have a vitamin A deficiency, a genetic condition impacting vision, or a more common condition such as diabetes or cataracts, the way light passes through your eye is different than normal and bright lights at night can blind you. You may not notice that you don’t have particularly good night vision unless you are around someone who does. If in doubt, it probably doesn’t hurt to get it checked out, especially if it didn’t bother you when you were younger but does now.

I always thought it was more of a “see an optometrist” flash. Even misaligned HID high beams aren’t more than a minor nuisance for people with normal night vision. But if even factory installed and aimed LED headlights are bothering you enough to completely blind you, you have an underlying condition that may or may not be treatable. Driving at night may not be something these people can do safely. All the more reason for better transit.

That’s the weird part about Macross; all the series somehow involve both being central to the story. But I would definitely be more into a Taylor Swift show if there were transforming mechas involved.

If you mix some Veritechs into this plotline, I think you have the makings of the next Macross series, and I’d go out and buy that for a dollar.

I use a tiny drill bit to make a hole in the centre of either side of the damaged joint, then cut a piece of metal tubing (hobby shops sell them) or a piece of plastic such as filament from a 3D printer (getting a ~1cm piece of PLA from your local library is probably free) to use as a pin to fit into the holes and reinforce the joint. Then once you are happy with the fit, glue it all together. If it is really tiny, you may not be able to pin it and then glue might be your only hope. Depending on the weight of the parts and material, crazy glue is usually pretty good for most situations. With plastics, where I need it to grip right away and hold its own weight, I like Testors modeling cement. Way better initial hold than even the gel crazy glues.

Seriously. Four hands is enough to hold your cock, balls, phone and a tissue!

And the thing your aunt gave you that you don’t know what it is.
