Wow! That’s absolutely amazing! I don’t have a green thumb so this is the highlight of my week! 👍

I also appreciate the mastodon video link instead of YT, thanks for sharing!

Maybe @answerplease77@lemmy.world was referring to:

In 2009, an interview with Dr. Yehuda Hiss—former head of the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute—was leaked. Recorded in 2000 by Nancy Scheper-Hughes—professor of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley—Hiss said that pathologists at the institute took skin, corneas, bones and heart valves from the bodies of Israeli citizens, Israeli soldiers, Palestinians and immigrants, often without consent from the deceased's family.

Which came from:

The links below may be referring to the same article:

I must apologize as I haven’t read the rest of the results, but I used search.disroot.org and the articles above are outdated.

Liability and insurance.

It’s easier for a company to rent a car because the contract states who is responsible for what in the unfortunate event of an accident.

Sure, you can get reimbursed for the mileage, gas, tolls and probably time but not for wear and tear when you’re using your own vehicle. If there’s an accident, who’s insurance is responsible? That becomes very complicated. I know that sounds absolutely horrible…

Over the years, mainly due to litigation, many companies have made it a company policy to not use personal vehicles for company functions.

EDIT: Forgot to add that some companies (including the one I work for) prefer automatic just in case someone else needs to drive that vehicle if the main driver is incapacitated; most people today drive automatic instead of manual transmission.

This explains everything.

I made some things from hand me down recipes recently that I had memorized and they seemed a bit off. So I dug up the recipes (a can of this and a container of that) and assumed that I was going insane.

These c°ck$uck!ng m0th3rf^ck€r$… Grrr!

One of the most popular models for the tea pet is the "pee-pee boy", which, when first soaked in cold water and then showered with hot water, will squirt out the water it previously absorbed.

My grandparents have these and I never knew the story behind them until now. Thanks!

Russia-installed occupation authorities in Ukraine’s Luhansk region created an online “catalogue” of Ukrainian children, offering them for coerced “adoption” through the education department.

The database includes 294 Ukrainian children, who are sorted and categorised so that the users can “filter” them by age, gender and physical traits, like eyes and hair colour.

The children are advertised for their character traits, with some described as "obedient" or "calm".

In numerous cases, the children are described as “polite and respectful towards the adults”, “disciplined” and “not conflictive” or “can be relied on to execute tasks”.

This sounds horrible. There’s an inventory (catalog) of children. Goods/products are inventoried, not people.

Absolutely none.

He is a religious leader who greeted the people with his Message of Peace when he first became pope. Perhaps now is a good time to express that message outside of Rome along with a message of goodwill toward all.

Many Christians feel that he should visit Gaza anyway because of the church that was damaged from an Israeli airstrike and the recent bombing of a church where people claim sanctuary.

Moon mist is an ice cream flavour popular in the Atlantic Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] Believed to have been created in Nova Scotia in the 1960s, the ice cream is an unusual combination of banana, grape and bubble gum flavours and is sold by many of the large regional dairy producers.[2][3][4] These flavours are not fully blended together.

Oh my goodness! That sounds amazing!

I mean no disrespect and have read the ~~propaganda~~ article. The Atlantic is an American publication based in Washington, DC.

The Word of the Day is: Scapegoat

Stop using any sites that require ID.

Ditto. Also:

• Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
• Go to the mall =O
• Go to the library
• Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
• Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
• Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
• Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
• Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
• Use iPhone to make phone calls
• Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
• Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
• Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

…just to name a few.

Indeed. “The FAA is investigating the event…”

I actually saw this on TV earlier and took over 2 hours for me to find something online.

Sadly, it’s not uncommon. From Arizona to New Jersey…
