Lycra is an absolute level-upper from sweat-clothing IMO. Unless maybe you’re pursuing the ‘sauna’ effect?

They breath very well, and I wear them as much as possible. They even layer very efficiently with other clothing, and are perfect for something like sailing, where the weather-effect can shift from balmy to hostile in a mere couple minutes.

Tonight I trekked out in freezing weather to hit the grocery store for some ingredients. I was wearing light Lycra / Spandex, with light trousers and a Baja jacket on top. That’s all the insulation I needed, even though each individual layer was pretty dang thin. If that was a sweatsuit, I’d indeed have been sweating a lot just from a couple blocks walk, but no…

From some quick lookups, it seems that you can commonly do so after some months of guided preparation. No need to memorise a bunch of shizzle, but being baptised is more of a 'participation award" in such cases, if I understand rightly.

Of course, YMMV when it comes to various Eastern Catholic churches, or even sect-like groups.

Using a team-up of animals (or even young human twins) to play a single role is definitely a recurring theme across film. “Lassie” and “Flipper” famously come to mind.

Also, I don’t doubt that cats were hard to train in early film due to the novelty of the situation, but I don’t think it’s nearly as much of a factor as formerly. For example, not only have training methods continually been improved, but anticipating the need ahead of time, cats can be trained from kittenhood to help portray a variety of roles. That’s an enormous help, right there. Something-something Green-Screen I guess, as well…

Haha, he’s still rockin’ that style of hair / facial-hair, too!

But I can’t remember if I liked him as a reviewer. A little before my time, or something like that. Every once in a while I do like watching Siskel & Ebert on YT, though. Two smart, passionate guys who clashed well.

America has never been “good” or moral.

Super-important major realisation.

Damn, that’s perfectly correct, but… I was anticipating a bit of white-washing??

Natives, always… please leave us alone?

I remember watching a show about these, some years back. Didn’t know they were called MOSE. IIRC, Italian and local bureaucracy slowed the project way down, unfortunately. I suppose if they built these on the original timeline, Venice would have had a lot more leeway here, but now they’re right up against it.

Pretty much every scientific prediction I know of about rising sea levels and global warming has been on the cautious side, not fully taking in to acct additional factors such as various tipping points, from which there is no known or anticipated recovery.

I think if you drill down a bit past the first paragraph citing uncertainty, you’ll find there’s a pretty consistent body of scientific findings naming various ill-health effects. Maybe follow up on those specific studies, supplementing with ScienceDaily and PubMed material as needed?

I’m not a nutritionist, and haven’t spent much time myself researching palm oil studies, but I can tell you as someone who’s tried to keep abreast of nutritional news for decades, so far I’ve only seen negative findings upon palm oil, both as a food and as an ecological agent of destruction.

It’s got plenty of health issues, too, as per the WP link above.

Hablo bastante castellano, pero ese no era la problema.

The founders spoke perfectly fine English, but at least one of them seemed sensitive about the issue, so I didn’t pursue.

There’s a Mexican place that opened very close to me, and I’ve been a bit bewildered by the general lack of flavor in their stuff. Examples would be their barbacoa, birria, pastor, chicken tinga, and carnitas. Funnily-enough, they load up the spices in their ground beef, so that’s most usually my protein filling. 😕

I really don’t know quite what to say in trying to suggest to a Oaxacan-style restaurant that their meats need more spices…

Nutella is swimming in palm oil IIRC. Maybe a cocoa-based version could work?

Babar Ganesh!
So we can add hummus and… probably lots of other sauces / dips as well.

My candidate might be guacamole, which looks like it could almost be toxic ooze at first sight.

Dammit. I remember buying the 1st one, but it not working on my PC for some reason. I forget if I ever really got to play that series.

This might help get the search kicked off, anyway:

Agreed. I’m instinctively a bit concerned over this stuff due to being an old git pretty much trained by the hardware of the day. Back in the day.

Oh shoot, that’s awesome.

What a badass she was in the True Grit remake. <3

Uh, but her name also reminds me of… of… daggit, I’m gettin’ old. 😕
