Your mum ?
WTF ?

There's nothing wrong with having a mom that's scared.

It was a hit in Spain too. So much it was re-aired 4 chapters every day last year. Again.

Actually they do this (airing a lot of chapters of a popular show in a row) quite often in Spain. For example, The Simpsons, any CSI series, The A Team (yep), Knight Rider (Here known as "El Coche Fantástico [The Fantastic Car]"), The Closer, Major Crimes, Murder, She Wrote, Two (and a Half) Men, The Big Bang Theory... I know all dialogues of some of the series.

But the worst thing about this is that in a lot of cases they aired the chapter unordered, so you may found a chapter of series #1 after a chapter of series #8 after a chapter of series #4... It's insane.

Oh no! We're running out of things to talk about!

Bring on the kitties!

If you guys need something to do, I could use an animated gif of a cat walking, preferably with an easily removable background. Somebody wants me to make a small computer game with a cat and a litterbox, where you click on the litterbox, and the cat uses it and says "Meow". The game is utterly simple, but I need a good animation, and my google fu is weak these days. NOTE : This is mostly for lulz.

Just watched "Before The Flood", narrated/hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio.

We should all have to watch this once a week. It adds much needed perspective to all of our lives. When it comes time to vote politically it reminds you what really matters. It alerts us to the corruption that rewrites science as it is broadcast on national and international news outlets. It horrifies us with the undeniable hopelessness of the human race, and of the planet Earth as we know it. The Earth will be here in 50 years and even 100, and so might our children or grandchildren, but we can almost guarantee that they'll be suffering the consequences and reality of war in ways that we cannot fathom as they struggle to conquer and defend the limited remaining resources required for life at all, a life of luxury that we've known a distant fantasy. Instead of progressing the world into a dystopia of peace and prosperity, we're likely dooming our descendants, if not our aged selves, to a life of turmoil the likes of which we've only peeked into in documentaries flying by developing, war-torn nations. I do not envy my future self or the lives of my progeny. Maybe, just maybe, if we rewatch this every Sunday instead of sleeping in or attending some form of house of hopeless lies then we'd begin to reshape our projections of the future for the better. It's quite damning to see the alleged progress that China, of all nations, is apparently making in the renewable energy sector while the USA continues to consume so much more and contribute so little in return. If I was a religious man I'd hope my deity had a place in Hell assigned for each of us.

Bumpity bump!

I really want to try eating insects as a source of protein. The science seems so much more practical. I realize it won't be as appetizing as beef or chicken, but it should be so much cheaper and more green! I've made a few attempts to locate insects for food, but unfortunately in North America it's kind of difficult unless you're going to farm your own...

I have eaten assorted, vacuumed packed, dehydrated/smoked insects a few years ago. They all just tasted like ash though so it wasn't much to taste. Wasn't much nutrition left either probably. Wasn't bad though. Except for that massive beetle thing that was pretty similar to chewing on a rock... So there's that. I'm not sure if you're supposed to eat the wings/shell though.

I can imagine several insects being appetizing. I know for a fact that smallish ants are harmless to chew on. It's like the seeds in a fruit or something like that. Crickets look very appetizing on a plate.

Of course, aside from the cultural barrier to accessing insects for consumption, I have another hurdle. My finacee is the most picky person I have ever met in my life. She will not even eat a McDonald's burger without instructing them to put nothing on it.

Does eating a burger work against fixing climate change somehow?

And the vast majority of food we grow is used to feed cattle.
