What kind of school takes a field trip to a waste treatment plant?

I went to one through Girl Guides, which is basically Girl Scouts in Canada. They were teaching us what kind of stuff would get dumped into the environment if there weren't treatment plants, how all the mechanical and chemical filtration systems work. There's also a program in my city that takes junior high students rafting on our biggest river, and they do water testing just before they reach the treatment plant and immediately after they pass the outflow pipe to demonstrate how effective it is. It's actually super cool.

Just take a bite out of the stick of butter then take a bite of bread. More efficient and no dishes to wash. You hoity toity pieces of poo poo with your fancy "knives" and "buttering techniques".

The difference between a fjord and a bay is that a fjord is formed by a glacier.

Ever heard of Milford Sound in New Zealand? It's not a sound, it's a fjord. Sounds are formed from rivers and are V shaped while fjords are U shaped. But the dude who named it didn't know the geologic history of the island and just assumed it was a sound because there's no ice there now.

That's your bonus geography lesson of the day thanks for reading

could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of another man?

could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?

No. I absolutely refuse to believe this.

That doesn't really happen anymore. The growth of the rail lines in Tokyo has calmed the crowding a lot. I was on Yamanote line in rush hour a few times and it wasn't any more crowded than my own trains back home.

I get my mail in a community mailbox. You put outgoing mail in the red boxes. Or take your envelope to a postal outlet, usually in a drug store, and buy a stamp at the same time.



But that's only been over the past few years, before then we had our box on the wall of our house next to our front door. Mailboxes on posts on streets don't exist here.

I've said anaerobic a lot, because I've been a fishkeeper, taken biology, and was really into fitness for a while.

Are there stoves where that really is just a storage drawer? I'd get more use out of that than a broiler.

Every single stove I've ever had in my life. I have never once had a warming drawer. That drawer is for storing cookie sheets and pizza pans and such. Large flat things that don't store in cupboards well.

relatedly there are also tons of people out there who think cans of food will explode if you boil them

They can if you heat them and don't open them first. I have scars from a stew explosion thanks to my drunk husband and was covered in burns on my face, neck, and arms that were visible for weeks.

Kiwi birds are the size of chickens. I always thought they were like, the size of a coffee mug.



I guess cartoons made me think they were tiny and I just never realized the scale when I saw a photo of one.

I had always thought that too, until I saw one IRL. Opposite was ringtail lemurs. They're quite a bit smaller than I always assumed.

The first ranch flavoured thing was a buttermilk dressing in the 1950s: buttermilk, mayo, and a variety of seasonings. The guy who invented it wasn't developing a flavour, he was making a dressing. The dry seasoning packets came years later when their dressing became so popular they couldn't keep up with sales demand.

Roller coasters are called that because they coast. I never thought about it before. Kind of maybe just thought it was a good rhyme or something.
