    I keep hearing how genetic scientists are working to make a Wooly Mammoth.

    We can’t seem to keep the human scum from killing the elephants that are left on the planet.

    Why Wooly Mammoths?
    Seems incredibly stupid to me. 🤯


    It is absolutely stupid. I say this as a man of science who spent a decade working in the field of genetics; often the reasons cited by the scientific community for carrying out (insert morally questionable experiment here) are utterly bogus, and the truth of the matter is closer to "we can so we will" meanwhile people clap along to this sort of thing because bringing back mammoths "would be cool".

    You'd have thought we'd have learned something from the other 5,000 times we've f---ed things up with short sightedness. But no, our hubris knows no bounds.

    Well said and I completely agree. 😊

    I only have about 500 calories left for the day and it's only like 1pm. I can't walk the dog because it's raining and I'm babysitting. Hopefully I can do some exercise tonight. I don't want to overeat or eat til maintenance level, but I probably will to keep my sanity. I've been eating within my calories all week and my weight hasn't gone down, even though I drank two or three litres of water before I went to bed last night. I thought I would pee some fat out, but no. I wish I had some NSVs to lean on. Haven't really noticed anything different today.

    I wonder how I got this bruise on my thigh

    Random, unidentified injuries seem more and more common the older I get. In your case I'd say it's almost certainly skating related :D

    It's in a weird spot. Probably walked into something....I'll have to go measure it up with a table or counter top 😂

    Actually you don't "pee it out", it comes out as vapor as you breath--sort of like a furnace burning fuel.

    Also why are so many people "experts" but have no idea that they don't really know anything about the topic for which they are an "expert". Makes me laugh when they try to correct someone who is...sadly they never learn

    My brain is being mean. Having negative thoughts is something I don't really deal with on the regular anymore but the past two days my brain is really hitting me deep 🥺

    I’m sorry you’re not feeling it.
    (I couldn’t think of the right word ^)
    Maybe it’s the change of seasons,
    it kicks my butt every year.
    Positive thoughts coming your way….☺️🌻

    Someone stole from my Dad’s property. Stealing from a grieving family is pretty *kitten* low.
    They better not come back.

    That is a really *kitten* thing to do. I’m so sorry.

    Actually, it eliminates itself in both ways

    That's true, but more comes out as vapor--there have been numerous threads on the subject. And, as you yourself said, drinking liters of water before bed didn't work. If it did we could all lose fat easily by drinking lots of water.

    I want to show you what a really good friend is like. This didn’t happen overnight. It took a lot of work and years of getting to understand each other. I wish you all a friendship like this.

    The young man who makes the good sandwiches at the convenience store seemed disappointed I was only buying a bottle of water and a monster.

    Tonight is homecoming. One kid is playing soccer & the other is looking forward to wearing a cloak & setting up three card monte at the back of the gym. Follow the lady.

    14-year-old’s, impression of the homecoming dance:

    “it was very loud, everyone was talking, none of them were people I wanted to talk to, and none of it was music I wanted to listen to.”

    The kid just described my 20s. Especially the part where the cops were called.

    I must be looking good today. An old gay man said I was handsome with an adorable laugh and a Greek woman who resembled the mother of the bad guys in the Goonies said I have nice lips. Then handed me this amazing bouquet… for $18
