That's not what the numbers are saying. I've talked to them and they say that rural areas are dying pretty much everywhere in the developed world. The MAGA revolution is basically a last desperate attempt to make these places relevant again before they become totally depopulated wastelands and shooting locations for horror movies about inbred mutants abducting campers or whatever

As a rural liver, the more depopulation the better imo.

Honestly, I figured it was a good time and was sad I couldn't make it over there. Cat and dog shoes are swell, what's not to like? But that advertising struck me as very much in line with the content of this thread.

I don't know about cat shows but dog shows often encourage breeding that isn't good for the health of the resultant dogs.

There's plenty of amazing dog breeding going on in America, just not around shows.

Regarding lamb, wikipedia has informed me that Americans refer to all sheep meat as lamb. Is this correct? Barring of course aforementioned Spanish etc words.
I love lamb, but (and please don't tell my fellow members of the local sheep fanciers association) goat is my favorite.

Don't think I ever eat lamb (Finland here), it's expensive as gently caress, even more so than beef and it's shipped in from places like New Zealand which is just crazy. I think it's mainly eaten here for easter.

Here in NZ we have a lot of Finnish pork ribs for some reason. It's the only meat we import in quantity.

His Divine Shadow posted:

When I was a kid my grandparents had two sheep they raised from lambs, I think they got slaughtered at 1 year or so. I remember I like the smoked meat. I think that's technically mutton then and not lamb, but I didn't feel it had any off taste to it.

But I am otherwise unsure how to utilize lamb or mutton, easiest would be ground up I guess. But it's too expensive for that. Maybe it'd be cheaper if people started eating mutton again.

From 1-2 years it's hogget.


Just would like to mention in NZ we have a native owl called the morepork.

Does the crab just stumble into the noose, like it's not baited or anything? There must be a heck of a lot of crabs there. Do you mostly catch them by the pincers?

I briefly worked at a factory where we made those frozen breaded fish triangles that you might buy in the frozen food section. They were breaded on a wire mesh conveyer belt that went through an oven and then directly through a flash freezer. In between, they were inspected for quality. All around them on the conveyer were those little guys. They were considered waste. You could stand there and eat then off the line in infinite numbers like an I Love Lucy sketch

Gutter Phoenix posted:

Spain was an empire in decline. President McKinley was hungry for colonies and looking for an excuse to declare war on Spain, so when the USS Maine exploded while docked in Cuba, the US declared war, and seized Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines.

The first two are still US colonies. Cuba and the Philippines were given independence from Spain, but for all intents and purposes they also became colonies of the US until the 1950's.

The Phillipines were completely a US colony until the 30s and partially until the Japanese invaded.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_Government_of_the_Philippine_Islands

I wasn't sure about Cuba so I looked it up and I'm just going to drop a couple wiki quotes that suggest it was de jure and de facto a US colony. Just for you, forums poster yikes!
"Under Cuba's new constitution, the U.S. retained the right to intervene in Cuban affairs and to supervise its finances and foreign relations."
"The U.S. intervened by occupying Cuba and named Charles Edward Magoon as Governor for three years." (1906)
