Oh man, looks like this Mastodon instance is retiring. Gonna need to find a new home. My first thought was sunbeam.city, but I see that their server is closed to registrations. Hum.

This wart remover is apparently made of:

- Movie film (the flammable kind)
- Pain reliever / skin dissolver
- Tree wax
- Vodka
- Ether
- Laxative

Je me suis finalement attardé un peu sur mon sifflet-test : je lui ai coupé une… partie pour qu'il soit moins lourd en soirée. Poncé, verni (cochenille) et poli la coupe. Je garde l'idée pour la suite de mon œuvre 🎨 sauvage et musicale : brut / poli.
Et le lilas, c'est joli, j'en reste étonné.
Bref.
J'ai surtout ajouté un trou ⛳ ce qui m'a magiquement fait gagner TROIS notes  
J'adore les résonateurs de Helmholtz 🎶
Par contre, ça fait un doigté à la mors-moi-le-sifflet.

My contact at Tech Networks of Boston says that it's been a great place to work.

They're also evidently offering referral bonuses to people who send qualified applicants their way. ($7,500 for a qualified senior engineer, smaller amounts for the more junior positions.)

Job opportunities:

Someone I know through political volunteering works at Tech Networks of Boston (https://techboston.com/about-tnb/mission/), a company that provides IT services to nonprofits, and they are evidently in a big hiring scramble right now for IT people.

Please spread the word!

Thanks! That OurWorldInData link tells a pretty clear story, and I think I've seen similar graphs before. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to dig into this in the future. I *thought* there was some other efficiency hit for smaller ruminants besides efficiency of butchering, but I cannot remember details.

my obnoxious new hobby is pointing out old trucks to The Fiance. "see? you see how that one isn't gigantic? you see how you could notice if a kid ran out in front of it? you see how it's clearly been put to use?"
goats normally have twins and sometimes triplets. one time we had a goat give birth to quadruplets. this was worrying: she was a cashmere goat so not bred for milk beyond the needs of two or three kids. astonishingly, another goat who hadn't been bred that year started giving milk. one of the kids still ended up kind of runty but nobody died of starvation.

@maya @tkenben

If you can happen to find a source on the butchering efficiency / carbon emissions tradeoff, could you post it here or send it my way? I'm pretty sure I've heard the opposite, but would love to be proved wrong.

I guess the caveat there is that *older* animals are higher emissions due to having had more life in which to belch methane. One of the ugly little calculations that goes into commercial scale agricultural production.

Thank you! I will check it out.
