With your willingness to eat grilled roadkill, how do you feel about grilling and eating roadkilled moose being a feature in My Summer Car

Big game like moose is usually hunted by a local hunting party, a regular semi-official club of local hunters who have an agreement on a specific hunting area. Whenever a moose gets hit by a car and isn't killed on the spot or euthanised by the driver, a local hunters' club is called to track the injured beast down and euthanise it. The meat is divided between the hunters.

My grandfather was a highly respected hunter in his community, and after he could no longer hunt, he was still in the meat division list and got his share of any road kill moose that happened within the region. My grandparents' freezers (plural, there were four of them) were always full of bagged cuts of raw moose meat, and I never thought of moose meat as anything more odd or rare than beef or pork.

The biggest issue I'd have with grilling roadkill moose is the fact that moose is game meat. It's got no fat in it. You need to cook it in fat, or mixed with more fatty meats like pork - as grandma did with karelian stew. Whatever little fat the moose meat would have would just melt on a grill, and drip into the fire, leaving the meat itself tough, dry, hard and impossible to chew. So in conclusion, my biggest objection to all this is that cooking moose meat on a grill sounds like a great way to make new soles for your shoes.

Au where Batman doesn't want to tell the Justice League his secret identity but it's because he's really embarrassed about the things he's done as Bruce Wayne.

The thing is; Batman has spent years crafting and perfecting his public persona.

'Brucie Wayne' is supposed to be a dumber than life himbo, with daddy's credit card and the maturity of a seventeen year old. He's supposed to be someone so outlandishly ridiculous no one would ever even dare to mention him in the same sentence as Batman... And Batman has been acting that part perfectly.

It's a genius plan.

But then the league begins talking about maybe all sharing their secret identities, to become closer as a group and work better together. And the only thing in Batman's mind is 'Oh. My. God. Please don't'

Superman is saying something about trust and how he has come to value all of them as friends. Batman is thinking about last year Christmas' Gala, where he took off his clothes in an improvised strip-tease, and started swimming in the fountain.

Wonder woman is talking about how she wishes to strengthen their bonds so they become greater warriors. Bruce just remembered there's videos of him fucking twerking and pole dancing to Ariana Grande all over the internet.

Flash starts smiling and telling them he already trust them with his life– Bruce once said chocolate milk came from brown cows.

'Oh. My. God'.

There's just no way he's telling any of them.

Randomly remembered something I saw online and can't remember the exact details of - a translation of an ancient Egyptian letter that a young soldier sent his family from abroad, I think from Rome. While all the other details are lost to me, I distinctly remember the tone of the letter, because the attitude in it was so shockingly different to the way I was raised. In Finnish, the word for "conceited" is literally "self-loving", and there's a saying about how self-praise reeks, and any kind of praise of one's own is downright shameful. Entire generations have been raised with the idea that saying anything positive about your own children will rot their moral core.

And this guy in this letter was like "Dear father, dear mother, I am now here in Rome! I am sure to prosper thanks to how excellently you have raised me. I have commissioned a picture of myself in my new uniform, so you can see how handsome I look in it."

Like... Damn. Imagine raising a kid to be that unwaveringly confident in their own worth and prospects, and unhesitant to praise you as well. Why would you raise your kid any other way.

TLDR cheetahs are horses if they were made by a kinder god

blows my mind that cheetahs are apex predators. that is the single most anxious creature I have ever seen. at any given moment a cheetah is exactly one stubbed paw away from bursting into tears. that is a sad dripping wet animal, and it's at the top of the local food chain? babygirl what happened

If you’re bad enough at it, so is violin playing!

Knitting! Nope gotta untangle string first

Crochet! After I untangle some string

Weaving - untangle lots of string

Cross stitch - hold up, string is tangled and I am full of rage

Sewing: string tangled into tiny knots of hatred

Bernard asked Tim to go cave diving cause he has may have possibly found the Batman's lair. Tim agreed to humor his boyfriend.

They entered a cave system through a cliff side and Bernard took the lead using a map with red marker and sticky notes stuck to it.

A light shines at the end of a tunnel and upon closer inspection, it came from a ledge. And if you peek below, you see the majority of the Batcave clearly.

Bernard is excitingly looking at Tim. Tim was internally panicking.

hey man i just wanna say i seriously appreciate your posts documenting you fixing things you own or making them yourself, like the shorts or the post youre doing right now about trying to repair your boots. im the kinda person who struggles with the idea of repairing things myself because i cant imagine id be any good but the idea of trying even if its gonna take a while or trying even if its not doing so hot at first motivates me to try when i next get the opportunity

I can't stress this enough: Start with something that's worth nothing to you. Weave something out of literal trash that you were about to throw out. Make sure that it's something that cannot be ruined or made into something worse than it was before. That's how you start building confidence in your abilities, and progress into making bad items better, mediocre items good, and eventually into making good stuff even better.
