The Vet Who Surprised A Cow
In the course of his duties in August 1977, a Dutch veterinary
surgeon was required to treat an ailing cow. To investigate its internal
gases he inserted a tube into that end of the animal not capable of facial
expression and struck a match. The jet of flame set fire first to some
bales of hay and then to the whole farm causing damage estimate at L45,000.
The vet was later fined L140 for starting a fire in a manner surprising to

Btw, afaiac I'd love to swap KDE out for Cosmic. But the window rules (or current absence of it) is preventing me from doing it. Like a Kwin for Cosmic, that would be cool. But what the Cosmic team has achieved so far is really impressive. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the default DE for Ubuntu.

'Manchester is unaffordable for ordinary Mancs - but it's too late to turn back' -
Yes, surprise, surprise, it's the growth model.
And it isn't so much a question of turning back as choosing another course, as we've argued throughout the hypergrowth period in GM.

Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.

Goodish news. I reckon a few trust fund hipsters are going to have a nasty surprise next week.
