Yes, but why? Presumably you put rice into it and then it comes out again?  Presumably there must be some processing involved but the output just looks like rice.

Could be a milling machine? That's about the last step I can think of that comes before "rice".

IslamoNazi posted:(shrimping? do Americans do that for food / sport). Just wanted to confirm that shrimping is something Americans definitely do where the shrimping is good. Just go out with a weighted net and pull a swarm in. Also crabbing with some line and a chicken throat, and plucking oysters from the pluff mud. Still one of my favorite episodes of Dirty Jobs

 I know nothing about regular pigs versus micro-pigs, but my friend's pig does seem pretty tiny  He says she's a month old and is already litterbox trained

Hope I'm not too late to the bird game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIX_6TBeph0 I can't decide if I'm going to be a crazy cat lady or a crazy bird lady when I'm older, because drat ravens are cool. I only learned a couple of years ago that they could actually learn to talk, though I always knew they were smart.

Ozz81 posted:You can do anything you want as well as you want to - and if you love it, you'll never work a day in your life Thanks for all this guys! I had my first day of orientation and it seems awesome. I applied for the job knowing that LITERALLY over 5,000 people applied for 200 jobs. I'm still surprised and a little baffled I got a job. I will be doing some mixing, feeding dough into a machine that stamps out doughnuts and then they'll be glazed and I'll be icing them as well. (not all at once of course.) and then boxing them and possibly helping to load them on pallets. It's more than twice what I was making stocking shelves at 5AM in a retail store, the hours are better, the benefits are better and we get quarterly bonuses. It's supposed to be one of the top 100 companies in the US to work for. I'm really excited about this opportunity and I'm relieved to get out of the quicksand pit that is retail. I feel like I'm finally going places. It may not have been my childhood dream to work in a distribution center bakery, but I won't have to scratch by paycheck-to-paycheck and that's amazing. I want to say to anyone else in a sub-par job, Go for what you really want even if it's a long-shot. You just may get it!

Doesn't that lead to all sorts of health problems for them, from what I vaguely recall? It's less that they have a double-HUGE gene and more that that gene doesn't have a 'stop growing' phase, I thought.

ANIME MONSTROSITY posted:lions get huge because genes, so do tigers Human giants happen when a hormone that tells them to stop growing doesn't fire or get received properly. Could be the same here, if one species sends a stop-growing signal the other species can't read. Some cute giants:
