which is 2018, but says it has grown 10% in a hundred years.

Our PM was going through the file cabinets of an employee who left and found some 5 1/4 floppies. I'm sure there was some valuable information on them. The company hasn't been around long enough to have squirreled away any 8" floppies.

I think they also send their mutton to the US giving a new meaning to mutton dressed as lamb.

fatty meat is poor quality? that must be why wagyu beef is so cheap

I've never seen mutton for sale in a supermarket, or on a restaurant menu here in the USA. Lamb chops are rarely available.

Sheep are grown here mostly for wool. Knitting has become a fad, not just among women.

Not going to happen with humans.

Its what the frogs proved only a little later than that.

What the French proved is that you can dress up your nuclear weapons program as a nuclear power generation program and more or less get away with it.

It provides expensive base-line electric power, but the generators are pretty inflexible, so you need grid-storage or fast-start gas-turbine power generators to deal with load peaks. And you still need to deal with the fission waste, some of which is very radioactive and some of which stays dangerously radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years.

Technically there is lamb, hogget and mutton. Most 'lamb' is hogget - balanced between flavourless and too tough.

Since most lamb is reared for meat, there is very little mutton available on the market.

Not in a supermarket. I bet we could find it in a Middle Eastern or Latino grocery, alongside the goat.

Even my supermarket has lamb chops, and it's a Walmart knockoff with everything from apples to apple trees.

Years ago when my sister first emigrated to Germany and before she became a post menopausal raving vegan and ecotard, the only place she could get lamb was in the Turkish immigrant community German food is pretty good quality, but it's massively short of variety. Beef venison or pork and that's about it. Being largely landlocked, apart from carp they don't do much fish either.

The most common potato variety is however excellent. which is a good thing because that's about the only one you can get.

I don't know where they source it, but my local Waitrose's lamb is 50% more expensive than the butchers but tastes twice as good, as does their pork.

I did the same. Two step up gears connected back to the same shaft to get a gearbox that drove itself. It took me a long time to work out why it locked up solid.

Because it's dressed as lamb. I sometimes get a 'leg of lamb' from NZ and it came from a damn big lamb.

"Lamb is the most expensive of the three types and in recent decades sheep meat is increasingly only retailed as "lamb", sometimes stretching the accepted distinctions given above. "

"n the early 1900s, mutton was widely consumed in the United States, but mutton consumption has declined since World War II.[12] As of 2010, most sheep meat in the United States comes from animals in between 12 and 14 months old,[13] and is called "lamb"; the term "hogget" is not used.[14] Federal statutes and regulations dealing with food labeling in the United States permit all sheep products to be marketed as "lamb."

Why were you and a woman in a gay bar if you were both heterosexual?

That's why I said below "unless you change the throttle".

Can this not be done instantaneously? The steam valve would stop the power output immediately. The gas jets can be turned off immediately to prevent boiling over.

Some of our gay friends are excellent company. Bars are places to socialise. That does make them places to pick up sexual partners. but that's a minor part of most peoples social activity. Commander Kinsey may not be aware of this - he doesn't seem to be a particularly social animal. or the kind of person most people would chose to socialise with.

It's a scam. Do the math.

Eating, drinking, the things one does in a burger-joint bar.

Our kid loved the place too. Great pinball machines.

One Halloween night a bunch of guys pulled up outside in the actual Wells Fargo stagecoach, horses and all.

In the UK it sometimes costs more to shear the sheep (which must be done once a year) than the wool is worth. A lot of eco-friendly houses have been insulated with sheep wool batts but there have been horror stories of self-build properties that used this stuff but it had not been properly treated to eradicate bugs.

There is more money to be made from making hand-made paper out of sheep *s*it*, which is washed (in a 2nd hand domestic washing m/c) and the plant fibres collected and used to make paper.

I only go that colour after swimming outdoors in winter.
