If you first obtain permission, you are allowed to oil the eggs, replace them back into the nest, which tricks the Mother Goose into wasting her time and energy trying to hatch doomed eggs. This seems so fucking cruel to the goose.

You can also legally destroy their nests.

In Indiana you can’t kill a goose, but these are the allowed ways to try to shoot them away. www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and...

Also, I wonder how he learned how to properly and safely clean out a goose. Can you just do something like this in your dorm room

It’s always the quiet ones who prowl the public grounds after midnight snatching geese for their dinner table

Well I guess that’s probably it then. Also, I felt a bit deceived by the word β€œdark” when they said Dark Mint. I thought it was going to be a deeper darker chocolate, but it was just the usual. It’s honestly the only reason I bought it tbh

The 14$ breakfast sandwich at this Filipino restaurant uses American cheese. I tried the sandwich once and I thought it was very good. www.youtube.com/shorts/3WS9k...

When it comes to cheese for a bacon, egg, and cheese, American cheese is in the S-Tier by itself, and every other cheese is somewhere under it

a slab of bright orange cheese from a plastic wrapper is the absolute optimal cheese for a smashburger

Here’s a 3D with most of the intermediate densities subtracted so it looks like the Skittles are floating above the spine.

The really great part though is that the same kid had also a bunch of unchewed penne pasta in the stomach, you can see alongside the Skittles (arrows point to the pasta).

Apologies to anyone has seen this before but here’s the CT scan where I saw these odd, dense pellets. I asked the CT tech and she confirmed the kid ate a bunch of Skittles.

I have seen gummi bears where you could see the exact outline of the gummi bears. I’ve seen Skittles which of course don’t look very specific. But I thought those damn things look like Skittles. I called the CT tech and said can you ask this kid what they ate: Skittles.

Starting to see more chest scans ordered for this indication. No symptoms, just screening. A good thing. My friend’s mom died from lung cancer. Never smoked, no significant secondhand smoke. But when they tested her home of 35 years: high levels of radon.

Main thing is, have to make sure this isn’t some kind of nematode disease. (It isn’t)

I think they just stand out because they are surrounded by air in the stomach. Doesn’t look really any more dense than other soft tissues. Be surprised at how much pasta we see in the stomach that just get swallowed, kids, adults, everybody. Mostly on CT scans. Most characteristically, penne pasta!
