OK, I just watched The Zone of Interest. Easily one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

That is saying a lot. Considering the movies you have seen.

I just checked the summary, it does sound very disturbing in a psychological way

Deeply disturbing film, outlining the ideal family life just a wall away from hell on earth. And how one is able to compartmentalize being a loving father from the brutality of routinely administrating a death camp.

To understand the ugliest contradictions of Nazi ideology in terms of compassion for their own, and contempt for so many others viewed upon as vermin.
New machine for work and it's amazing!

Did you get to "office space" the old one out in a field with baseball bats? Haha.

@Dagan these things weigh about eight to ten tons so it'd be very rough on the bats!
It was partially disassembled, moved with industrial jacks and dollies, and loaded onto a lowboy trailer with forklifts.
So, hippos sweat blood and use it as moisturizer. That's...a thing.

I know it's not real blood. I just thought it would be easier to explain.

Some sources claim that the practice of bloodletting developed as a result of people erroneously mistaking hipposudoric acid for actual blood, but sources do not agree on whether this is really how people came to do that or if that is merely a tale.

So that's where blood sweat and tears came from!
I decided that as of a couple of hours from now, I will shut down all Internet browsers, turn off my phone (checking it only once a day for messages), and doing a net browsing detox for a weekend until Monday morning when I return to work and have to start using the Internet browser again.

Be sure to pick up some Calamine lotion when you break out into hives.

Did you know the hump on the grizzly bear's back is pure muscle? Just in case anyone feels like wrestling one.

I had another Edward's Cheesecake recently. As about as decadent as it gets in my case. Though it's not something to ever become a habit. Still....for something edible it was uh....glorious. :)
Kitten me, my mum and sister got recently, her name is Lizzie. She's 9 weeks old now I think and we've had her about a week. She's settling in nicely which is good. She does like to get in a bit of trouble but overall she's really sweet and sleeps mostly. Besides the first one the others are from before we got her.

Something I learned as a child visiting one of our oldest zoos. -The Smithsonian.

Apex predators who are not only ferocious, but cunning as well relative to their prey. Though I suspect foxes may be at the top of such a list. Extremely cunning animals, but not particularly ferocious either.
I did not know that lions can hunt during storms. You'd think they would stay under shelter.

In tropical regions rain only happens during the hottest time of the year, and the rain isn't cold. Don't get me wrong, it will drain some of your body heat, but it's not like getting rained on in a colder climate. In fact people enjoy the rains to cool them down when they get caught in them instead of racing under cover.

A downside to being an apex predator. Not instinctively knowing when to back off.

Whether it involves the weather or other species such as a Black Mamba poisonous snake. Not a common happening in nature, but the possibility of death exists for them.

There are lots of cows where I live, but they are not mine. Under traditional common law in the American Far West there is something called "grazing rights". Basically it means a rancher can graze his cows legally on what is legally other people's property.

In the 60s corrupt local officials in the southwest US took bribes in exchange for the drawing and sale of "phantom subdivisions" that mostly existed as drawings in the county recorder's office, then sold grazing rights to the areas separately. Over time a few people homesteaded in the areas and local officials turned a blind eye as long as nobody whined about the cows.
It is like the Fourth of July outside right now and I am in sensory hell.
