you don't need a sous vide machine to sou vie! all you need is some plastic freezer bags and like, a cheap digital thermometer (and a pot for water). you might need to get finicky by adding water to the pot during the process to keep the water a consistent temp.

You: Ah, yes, Egg Guy! Guy who ate 15 raw eggs! Wow! Hey, you seem extremely reasonable and controlled and ludicrously hinged. Like, 20 goddamn hinges on you. More hinges than a door store. May I recommend carefully putting eggs in a bag, putting a thermometer in water, then boiling the egg bag while watching it carefully whilst it rises to temperature? Also keep in mind that any significant mistake in this process will simply result in the worlds largest and least appetizing hardboiled egg clusterfuck.

Me: Oh wow, what a wonderful idea. By the way, I seem to have dropped my pen. Yes, here, on the side of the line that says "Stand Back - He Bites." Yes, it refers to someone else. Yes, I am very scared he'll come back while I'm still in range. All the more reason for you to be a good chap and pick up the pen for me. That's right. Perfect.

Perfect.

night, fruit bats! - grey-headed flying fox

requested by @alpaca-dave

grey-headed flying foxes have appeared in two episodes so far: season one's "fruitbat" and briefly in season three's "bedroom". bluey loves fruit bats, and so do i! australia is home to over 75 species of bat, but the grey-headed flying fox is the biggest. flying foxes--also called fruit bats--are megabats, the larger of the two classifications of bat. while microbats primarily eat insects, megabats love to chow down on all sorts of fruit and nectar. since we're going to be talking about fruit trees as well, this post will be under a read more.

these bats are highly social, forming groups called "camps" that can contain tens of thousands of individuals. there are three other species of flying fox found in the country (black, little red, and spectacled) and all are effective pollinators, promoting forest health as they disperse seeds and pollen. as bingo correctly states in "fruitbat", these critters are primarily nocturnal, like all bat species. they roost during the day and hunt for fruit, pollen, and nectar at night.

grey-headed flying foxes are partial migrants, and will travel hundreds of kilometers as foraging locations change. the episode gives us a nice montage of dream-bluey and her flying fox friends on a couple different types of fruit tree. lets take a quite detour to learn about some fruit trees.

first up is a nice looking mango tree. this one looks like it could be a bowen variety. they're the most common and one the most tasty kinds grown in australia. so well beloved, in fact, that there's even a 10 meter tall fiberglass one in its namesake town!

next, a papaya. there are two main varieties, mexican and hawaiian. this one is mexican, the larger of the two, and is a favorite of fruit-eaters like birds and megabats. despite their prevalence, papaya plants are not native to australia.

this is a cavendish banana, by far the most popular banana in the entire world--it makes up 99 percent of all bananas grown. the primary variety used to be "big mike", but a devastating fungus-borne disease wiped them out in the 1950s. its likely that the same could happen to the cavendish if we're not careful.

last but not least, a guava tree. this one is a recognizable common guava, which are native to south and central america and the caribbean. they've been introduced worldwide, and can quickly take over. interesting to note that australia actually does have a native guava species, but a highly infectious invasive plant disease called myrtle rust is driving them to extinction.

such a fun assortment of fruits for a cool critter! these big bats are often considered a nuisance in cities, but they are vital to maintaining healthy forests. one grey-headed flying fox can spread as many as 60,000 seeds in a single night! they're particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures, and experts have noted a considerable decline in their numbers in the last century. the grey-headed flying fox is a beautiful and unique member of the australian ecosystem, and it's high time we appreciated them for the wonders they are. so the next time you say good night, be sure to thank these fascinating animals for all the work they do while you're asleep.

do you have any thoughts on L/R's respective morning routines?

Livio starts his morning with a standard breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee. He usually gets up early but not terribly so. He's got a few daily exercises he does, stretches and cardio and a little stuff with weights and sometimes he works on specific areas for more on depth stuff. Then he has a shower and goes about his day.

Razlo starts with something filling and healthy, usually with fruit, (think oatmeal and smoothies, sometimes eggs if he feels like it). He's up earlier than Livio and tends to actually do less weight training (he knows Livio sometimes goes a little hard on it and he wants to give their body a rest) but he loves going on long runs to start his mornings. If he's got time and hot water his showers take eons. He's also the one drinking the most juice/water/caffeine free tea to try and make up for Livio's weakness for little coffees to get through The Horrors (daily life).

Was anyone going to tell me Mark Hamill is apparently a (((Zionist))) or was I supposed to find that out by him being cast as the flying Dutchman in an upcoming SpongeBob movie

Hi. I really love Red Dwarf. Like a lot. No one near me does though, and that’s actually one of the reasons I got back on here, actually. I was a lonely dork who wanted to talk to other people. I just love Red Dwarf. It’s so stupid but actually makes some good points. Also I think it’s very neat that in The Promised Land, Rimmer looks the way he was supposed to originally, in black-and-white with the mono voice. My dad did not find it anywhere near as interesting and no one else has watched it.

What do you think Persona 6 mascot will be?

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS... I like to think we'd get some sort of bird this time, even though Soul Hackers 2 already had Mimi (an owl).

We've had a cat, a bear, and a humanoid robot... I think the bigger question is what's not on the table?
