I made the mistake of juicing raw potatoes once, figuring the other vegetable juices like beets and carrots would mask any of the potato flavor.
Won't ever do that again.

Funny how surgeons don't seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
And I better not open this person's closet and find a single scarf.
How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.
Can we all just calm, the fuck, down!?
I'm so fucking embarrassed for my state right now.
This makes two assbag comments just in the past three days.
Most of us here really are rational, normal people.
Not "Eclipse", the last track from Dark Side. Just over two minutes, which will a little longer than the amount of time my area will have totality.
If only we had vaccines for this.
Oh, wait.
Damnit... And Ricky owed me $20. That bastard always manages to find some way to not pay me back.
Tell me someone is 'fuck you rich' without telling me they're 'fuck you rich'.
And his buddy, "collaboration".
With this title, anyone else thinking that the producers already have a third movie in mind?
But what is animal consciousness in terms of being self-aware? Pigs are damn smart, but I'm not sure they're on the list of animals that exhibit self-awareness.
Also, the article merely states that blood flow to the brain was interrupted, not that the head was removed, which, I'm guessing, is why brain activity was largely unchanged.
If the head was still attached to the spine, then I would assume that all the nerves were still functioning normally. As normal as they would in an anesthetized pig that is, with no interference from outside stimulus. In this study, the animal was quietly sleeping. I can't imagine any reputable doctor of science today doing such a thing to a conscious animal or human.
And, in one of the linked articles, it talks about how this research can further work on better life saving techniques for humans by developing much better blood and oxygen machines used during complicated surgeries.
So long as the animal is treated respectfully, I have no issue in using animals for research that help human medicine.
And to think they got away with it.
