My neighbor prepared chicken with crushed olives, parsley, turmeric,
and olive oil baked in the oven. It was a recipe she got off the
internet and it was excellent. She also threw some cubed potatoes
on the pan to roast along with the bird and the couscous cooked
separately. The couscous had a bit of shallot, lemon juice, lemon
zest, and parsley.
 
ALL was dee-lish!

So why do you think nobody has developed or even done any more
exploration on a mineral deposit that dwarfs even the proven reserves of
the Sudbury Basin?
 
I will say why I think, but I want to see if Pamela can figure it out
first. I am 99%+ sure I know why.
 
I believe that it would be very obvious to David Smith. I've given out
several clues already.

I was thinking more of the Bre-X mining scandal in Indonesia where the
owners were able to scientifically "prove" they had a massive gold
deposit.
 
There are dozens of such mineral deposit scandals and Duffy's super
amazing unexploited rich mineral find could easily be one of them. It
seems to hinge on knowledge of data hidden by bureaucrats from the public.
 
If there were millions to be made I don't think anyone would posting about
it here but instead raking in the moolahs for himself.

Oh yeah. That would work.
One of these days I will have to try Stilton. I had it once crumbled on
top of a hot soup, but never had it on its own or with fruit. I keep
hearing from blue cheese fans how good it is.

Stilton: Blue, which has had Penicillium roqueforti added to generate
a characteristic smell and taste, and White, which has not.
 
Gorgonzola is from Northern Italy; it is made up of unskimmed cow's
milk and has greenish and blue veins on it.
 
Roquefort is a French sheep's milk cheese. Roquefort has a sharper
flavor, but is not as strongly flavored as robust and aromatic
Gorgonzola.
 
Basically, they're all blue cheese with slight differences in taste.
But positively all good with fruit!

I am on one of those lists but it only shows up every week or two. I
read about the onions on CNN. I haven't followed up on it so I don't
know if it is still all onions, or just one farm or whatever.

The instinctual 'logic' is that whatever caused my blindness (usually
lightning) has caused similar blindness in any other animals present. So
it's best to use my ears & nose to identify threats.
 
I quote 'logic' because evolution is not a deductive process. From the
animals subjective point of view it is also not a logical process. The
original threat, plus fear after going blind releases adrenaline. The
animal is now operating on instincts triggered by mortal fear. The best
defence is to stay still and lash out with maximum force against anything
that gets close enough to ascertain its position.

Yep, that's why Computer Nerds invented emoticons! To impart emotion to their otherwise lifeless ASCII text.

A critter that has good night vision is likely blinded by the light they
are looking at, so when they look away they don't see much at all.
Standing still is a natural response to a threat and they seem to know
that not moving makes them harder to spot. We have quite a few dear
around here and it is quite common for them to just stand still until
you are close enough for them to incite them to flee.
 
FWIW...a couple weeks ago I was out on the motorcycle when I spotted
what looked like a small deer walking across the road with a fox. I
slowed down and stopped where there had crossed. It turned out to be a
small doe and her very recently born fawn. The doe was standing being a
clump of brush and the fawn turned and walked toward me. Mama was
getting quite frantic so I left.

I won't argue with you on that point. I still shudder when I think

That would be illogical. You can't call somebody a pussy for
something for which they cannot practically experience.
 
When I start whining about it being only 40F here (which will be a
cold day in Hell, heh), only *then* could you call me a pussy.

And still to this day with organ transplant patients.
Once you get a transplanted organ, you have to take
immune-suppressing drugs for the rest of your life.
That prevents your body from rejecting your transplant.
 
That also opens you up to dying from any virus that
comes along...even the common cold.
Same deal with AIDS virus.
 
I had a good friend that got a kidney transplant and
she ending up dying a few years later because of that
situation. She was only 38 years old. Not fair at all.
 
Good one, God. >;o

Right, covid is highly contagious, but not extremely lethal.

Covid doesn't do that.

Covid is successfully reproducing because its hosts live longer.
 
>Successful reproduction is the entire point of evolution.
 
There is no point behind evolution.

Those are known as respirators here. I have one but
don't use it for stores. Mine has a changeable filter
on each side. Each filter has a charcoal packet and a thin
cotton-like dust filter. The mask itself is rubber.
 
They will seriously filter your breath intake but the little
button nose is used for exhaling and doesn't filter at all.
A little rubber gasket only opens when you exhale.
 
Keeps YOU safe from breathing in but doesn't provide any
protection to anyone around you if you are sick.
 
This is similar to mine:

I have a face mask which has a Scottish Black Watch pattern on the front and
a filter which inserts in to it. I don't have anything that has any filter.

One thing I realized later, Steve. My microwave sees 222
as 2 minutes and 22 seconds, not 222 seconds. I'll bet all
microwaves do this.
 
When I enter 222 and press start, it counts down to 200 then
immediately shows 1:59 and continues counting down. You knew
that though, I'm sure.
