    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        That does look very interesting. They really are fascinating creatures. I'll give this a go when I can (currently re-watching The Expanse in its entirety - it's surprising how much I missed the first time around)

        I was only joking

            I watched it. Fascinating and even poignant at times.

            Education is extremely important.

                    A controversial plan to commercially farm octopus for meat has led to a U.S. bill that would ban the practice, along with any imports linked to it. Bipartisan legislation to ban octopus farming was introduced in Congress on Friday, after NPR reported on the issue.

                    "Octopuses are among the most intelligent creatures in the oceans. And they belong at sea, not suffering on a factory farm," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, a co-author of the bill, said in a statement to NPR.

                        Salmon are assholes. They can't open jars or anything. Sure, they can get into the can. But they never get out again.
