Pettifogging
V. Placing unnecessary emphasis on petty details. I like the imagery of this one.
Example: I cannot hear a rational argument through all the pettifogging.
i guess i didnt word it very good. i just meant if you see humans as prey but the way you write doesnt seem exactly like you see us how i would look at livestock. I cant get through your works and keep reading the same sentences like 5 times, not my style i guess. i just dont get if there was some specific reason you need to eat human. pork or beef or chicken is all the same to me and not eating one wouldnt do me any harm. i totally didnt mean accusatory or whatever. just confused.
I don’t know the mechanism.
I apologize for being terse. I assumed you were the same author as the annoying vegan who saw fit to tell me why eating anything is objectionable

Ah yes, that band put out that charming song about Silence and how wonderful it is.
For Making Pumpkins Last Longer
After you carve a pumpkin you can soak it in one part bleach and one part water to dry it out which will prevent it from rotting as quickly. It will also faid your pumpkin’s orange color or turn it completely white depending on its size, which is a nice side effect.

I woke up from a very strange dream that I don’t get. I was in Twin Peaks (the fictional town but not the show itself) and I turned a corner and found you picking up things you had dropped. I went to help you and saw one of the things you dropped was your wallet and your ID said you’re David Lynch. I don’t remember what else you had been picking up.
David Lynch?
I’m not sure if I should be offended or amused.
🦄i got a b on that organic chem test!!!
Huzzah!!!!
Bees Trained to Collect Gold Dust
In the Upper Congo past gold mining’s legacy left a moonscape of large and small open pits. Some of these pits date to the turn of the previous century. These historical gold ore extractions were notably inefficient leaving behind small, but significant, amounts of gold dust hidden amidst vast acreages of mining spoil.
Enter the trained bees.
The Native Bee Laboratory, in a unique public / private partnership with the Gold Consortium, has trained bees to detect and retrieve the globular gold dust found in these former mines. As can be seen in this picture of a typical Golden Bee nest, these animals can be extremely effective little “gold diggers”.
Future plans call for programming these bees to not only gather gold, but to perform the actual transmutation of in situ cupprous outcroppings into gold or near gold. Such opportunities, where no opportunities previously existed, allow micro-fabrication and bio-diversification within such small spaces that individual agents (e.g., paleofarmers and septuagenarians) could reap the rewards that opportunity vacuums were formerly devoid of.

The things men will do for shiny metal. Aliens can come have tea with me and we can watch the bees scavenge dust while shaking our heads.
Have you heard of the anime and/or manga Ancient Magus Bride?
No. I can tell you almost at once, it doesn’t sound like I’d enjoy it.
