Topic | I always hear Europeans complain about Hershey's and I can't help but wonder... |
CobraGT 04/12/24 10:47:05 PM #5 | Mashed.com explains butyric acid is in Hershey's
Hershey's turned to a new milk preservation technique in the 1930s to extend the shelf life of its chocolate bars for up to a year. This was accomplished through the process of lipolysis, which involves adding special enzymes to the milk that breaks down fats and lipids, as well adding butyric acid. Herein lies the problem. Butyric acid is putrid. It can be found in sour butter and milk, and here's where it all comes together vomit (via Cheddar News). Americans have become accustomed to the taste. However, it is distinct and strong for Europeans who aren't used to it and thus, to them, a Hershey's bar tastes about as good as revisiting last night's dinner the next morning. I did not like Hershey's as a kid but I did get used to it. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 |
Topic | Reminder: Hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs |
CobraGT 04/12/24 10:37:02 PM #26 | Hyena limbs are not as different in length as many people think, the massive neck and shoulder muscles make the front limbs look taller than they are in many photographs, but yes they are longer. The heavy musculature plus the longer forelimbs are all adaptation to make the animal stronger with more leverage, better able to rip apart a carcass and crush bones. They do not need the massive hind limbs of the large cats becasue they do not "pounce", you see the same adaptation in the so called "Fanged Cats" or saber tooth cats they have massive forelimbs. More importantly the massive muscles on the shoulder and neck make the forelimbs less flexible so to get the same arc swing out of the limb, it has to be longer. https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/57458/explanation-for-hyenas-asymmetric-legs-length Basically the musculature of the neck and shoulders makes the forelimbs less flexible. The longer length compensates. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 |

Topic | Award-winning children's author has an arm and ear ripped off by three pit bulls |
CobraGT 04/10/24 3:01:53 AM #29 | I did my own search because I wanted to check the details. I let google translate a cnn article from Portuguese. Brazil is way more strict about leashes and muzzles but idk the dogs were not muzzled. Horrid that this happened.
What does the law say about pitbull dogs that attacked writer Roseana Murray She was taken by helicopter in serious condition to the Alberto Torres State Hospital, in So Gonalo, where she is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) This Friday, the 5th, the writer Roseana Murray, aged 73, was attacked by three Pitbull dogs in Saquarema, in the Lakes Region of Rio de Janeiro. She was taken by helicopter in serious condition to the Alberto Torres State Hospital, in So Gonalo, where she is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). She lost her right arm due to the bites, but her life is not at risk. State laws in Rio de Janeiro and So Paulo determine that Pitbull dogs must wear muzzles and choke chains when they are in public places with their owners. Under Rio's law, the measures are more restrictive and require animals considered ferocious to use accessories whenever they are in public places. In So Paulo, legislation requires the use of muzzles for certain breeds in situations where the animal circulates in crowds, closed places with public access and events with many people , but muzzles must always be used by dogs.
In the case of the attack on Roseana Murray in Rio, the dog's owner will not only be liable administratively, but also criminally, explains lawyer Alessandro Azzoni, a specialist in environmental law. As the writer had an arm amputated as a result of the attack, the guardian will be responsible for the crime provided for in article 129, which establishes a penalty for the crime of serious bodily injury, which can be from 1 to 5 years in prison, in addition to the fines imposed by law. states, says Azzoni, The lawyer explains that, based on the sanctions established in the State Law of Rio (Law 4,597/2005), the owner of the pitbulls that attacked Roseana may lose custody of the animals as provided for in Article 7. However, he will be able to keep the dogs as a faithful custodian, as the same legislation provides for in the case of a first episode. This means that the owner can stay with the dogs until a way out is found for the animal. But if it is a repeat offense, he will lose this custody, says the expert. It is important that owners understand that these dogs show strength and violence when they are in a group. And, for this reason, they are forced to wear muzzles, even because even the owner himself cannot contain the strength of these animals in some cases, says the lawyer. The muzzle would certainly have prevented this attack on the writer. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 |

I cannot count all the reasons why "eliminating Hamas' military capability" is not an honest statement of intent. Many reasons have been given in these topics already. The obvious reason for me is this military capability is based on funding and neither leveling Gaza nor leveling a consulate building in Syria stops the money. Israel is doing nothing that will stop the money and Israel understands the importance of money better than I do. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 |

Its probably easy to feel like Trump has no chance if you live in a liberal area where its obvious to everyone how awful trump is. The fact is there are huges swaths of the country that literally worship the man, theyve gotten even more radical and fanatical since the last election I live in Chicago but Ballot proposal (Illinois) for a graduated income tax instead of the straight percentage failed Ballot proposal (Chicago) for a reduced real estate sales tax on the first million failed Vallas came so close to beating Johnson for mayor We had Rauner for governor for 4 years Conclusion People get sidelined just before they vote. The vote against the proposal reducing everybody's real estate tax and reducing everybody's state tax is concerning because people are voting for the interests of the wealthy - which they want to be - over the interests of who they are. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 |
