Yes

Let's go Brandon!

@taiwan_girl said in Guess who's in da Howz: @brenda Do they "hibernate" or semi-hibernate during the winter even when they are in the house? I had some turtles, and even though they were indoor in the winter in a heated house, they seemed to know that it was winter and were very much less active and needed less food than in the summer. If the house is very cold, they will burrow their tummies down into the dirt. Most of the time, they don't bother, because the house is warm enough. Before bringing them in this fall, the temps were getting down to the low 50s (F) at night. It was like that for a few weeks. Now it seems nice and warm in the house to them, even though we don't have heat on yet. With the misting I give them to keep them moist and increase the humidity of their froggo house, they have begun to trill again, as if they think it's spring. This could get interesting! Trilling is one of the signs they are ready to mate. As hubby noted, we have them in a coed froggo house.

We're paying for it.

I'm reminded of the snake pic someone here posted some years back. That one was hard. I think Jolly spotted it easily.

@jolly said in 3 classes in four years: So, what is this kid going to do after high school? College or trade school? Ivy league on a -studies path, I presume.

He looks as though he's drunk more than a few millimeters of mercury. It's made him psi-cotic.

Cool story - I like Mark Felton's channel a lot. Incidentally, my brother was hill walking in the UK a couple of weeks ago. He was on top of Helvellyn, a mountain in Cumbria, and two Spitfires flew right over the top of him - my dad would definitely have approved

@taiwan_girl said in I would be afraid to cook these: I was fortunate when I was in Japan 2 summers ago to be treated to a Kobe beef restaurant (which I think it the same (or almost the same) as Wagyu). Kobe beef is one type of Wagyu. Wagyu literals means "Japanese beef." Kobe is a city in Japan. There is a system that certifies certain beef output from that area as "Kobe beef." For a long time, "Kobe beef" tops the price scale in the beef market. Having tasted Kobe beef in Japan and in the USA, as well as other non-Kobe A5 Wagyu, I have come to conclude that I like them only in small servings. I find it unpleasant to consume more than, say, 3 to 4 ounces of such A5 beef in one sitting. A few bites as appetizer are quire delectable, but trying to down an 8+ oz. cut as an entrée in one sitting would be way too fatty. "Lesser" beef would work much better as an entrée. :man-shrugging:
