Maybe we should stop calling Jupiter a planet. It doesn't matter, anyway, as it can't hear us.

Fucking Jupiter, what an asshole. We should just stop calling it at all.

Planets, all planets in the universe, not just the local 9) should be ranked by size and smaller planets should have DEI protection.

@kluurs That was interesting, but it sounded like a computer voice doing the commentary. Wish they would have used a real person,

I don't know if it's true, but it is mildly interesting.

Seems like sometimes pop/rock stars needs 25 drums or so in their set. He seems to make just as good a sound with just a few drums.

@bachophile And that one looks pretty normal sized. Here is another "normal" size one from a rock drum guy. @mark may know him as they are from near his hometown (I think).

@George-K What happens to wild horses and their feet?

Thanks, George. Interesting read.
It appeared that the horse having the large amount removed from the hoof did not mind what was being done. Does a horse sense that the Ferrier is a friend and therefore stands still? Or, does the Ferrier tie up the horse so it cannot move? I'm speaking mostly to the horse in the video clip, that had run wild for a couple of years. You (generic you) would think the horse would be continuously pulling away and getting angry at what was being done.

From the article:
"If horse’s hooves are not trimmed, hoof overgrowth will occur. This will affect the horse in ways most people don’t suspect. It can lead to cracked or contracted hooves, thrushy frog, chalky sole, fractured quarters, demineralized coffin bone, inflamed joints, deformed bones, strained tendons and ligaments, muscle pain in the entire body, and more."
And that is (sometimes) why horses lay down, their feet hurt!
