These (and canned tuna) are good for croquettes - I've been making the tuna version for years. They can also be used for an easy stuffing for savory pastries/hand pies like samosas

Beavers can be a great help in restoring wetlands. They're being released in California to help stop wildfires as their ponds are natural firebreaks...unfortunately when they build around humans it doesn't always work out. They've been known to flood neighborhoods and wash out roads.

I saw a documentary a while back where they were washing out roads (in Canada IIRC) by damning up the drains that run under the roads. They just have a built in need to stop flowing water. Instead of killing or re-locating the beavers, the guy being interviewed realized if they laid out a secondary conduit (large hose) in the drain, the beavers could damn up the drain but the water would still flow from one side of the road to the other. If I can find it again I'll post it

I was just trying to share a story I found positive, and made me feel good. I had no idea grazing sheep was such a controversial topic 😃

I guess I'll have to scrutinize any future post I contribute

That's true, but they are more efficient and cost effective than running gas powered mowers around solar panels. The added bonus of not needing to purchase feed during parts of the year is also a nice plus

From this article it sounds like he's one of those religious nuts trying to force their views on everyone. He probably starts off every conversation with "well, you know, as a Christian."

It's never about religion with a POS like this, it's almost always about control. Hopefully the lawsuit gets tossed before it costs the school district too much money, and he can go work at a religious school where his views will probably not cause waves

Pretty sure that's what they do. When I was school most teachers had trouble pronouncing some names, so they'd just ask us what we preferred to be called, or how we'd prefer our names to be pronounced and they'd make a note.

Most kids had nicknames that they preferred to use anyway, so that's what how they'd be addressed. All official paperwork had the given name, but their friends, and teachers would just refer to them by the name they preferrred...which is why this whole name situation is just baffing to me. I'm guessing they didn't renew his contract for other/additional reasons, this is just his way or trying to hit back
