    Just around my office. The problem I have is 90% of dinosaur figures are designed for kids. Very few of them feature realistic depictions of them based on the latest scientific evidence. Most are exaggerated cartoons or based on Jurassic Park.

    Here's my favorite:

    Yup amazing. It's interesting you mention wolves because there are so many analogues with present day nature (i.e. birds) and it makes sense - the attributes that allowed them to thrive for so long are the same attributes that have allowed modern descendants to persist.

    Long life foods or non-perishables when they're on sale for a 50%+ discount.

    Once ended up with ~50 of my favourite toothbrush in reserve, took me years to get through it.

    Omg on the toothbrushes!

    I've just thought of another thing.
    Dance costumes.
    I started looking on FB marketplace, people want to clear out their dance costumes after their performance. I started buying some, for aerial tissue, pole, unicycling around in. But then I also started wearing some for just going out (eg. Luna Park, theatre, gardens) and canyoning! And I'll ask my (female) riding and canyoning buddies if they also want to wear one.... 20210313_161104.jpg 20210124_150324.jpg 20210124_112318.jpg FB_IMG_1615374812999.jpg FB_IMG_1615276745296.jpg received_895428481297541.jpeg received_690027444954763.jpeg

    LOL! You are a strange one, @Gockie :p. That's a compliment, BTW. Reminds me of when I was fundraising for the skating club when I was young 20's. We were selling raffle tickets while at a parade. I went into the local pub, dressed in full (skimpy) competition attire. I sold the most tickets by a mile. :D

    Good on you. And I own the term "Quirky"! If you take up unicycling age 40 or over, you are probably quirky :)

    To add to it, I now have a spinning dance pole at home too... (mentioned on this site already) :)

    Small Facebook rant. I wanted to update some personal details “political” and “religious” views (I went with “Science” for both and encouraging people to get vaccinated for political view) but now Facebook didn’t like what I had previously written for gender so it wouldn’t save.

    Anyway, for gender, you can’t leave it blank, and you can’t just put in “human” or “person” or “Cat”. I didn’t want to put my actual gender on it since you get ads targeted due to your age and gender and that’s very annoying to me. So now I have gone with gender: “Other” and chose “Two-spirit person”. I wonder what effect that will have on Facebook ad targeting….

    You can't get rid of all adds on Facebook, but you can reduce them. In your settings there's a part that asks for your interests. I selected 'no' for every one of them. Every add that comes up in my feed, I select 'hide add' and then there's usually another box that comes up that says 'hide all from xyz' and I select that as well. It's a slow process, but I am getting fewer adds over time.

    At least spinning around on your pole at home, if you break something or damage yourself, you can try and hide your quirks.....do not fall of one of them rocks with a weird costume on, they may leave you there ! lol ... maybe scared you may bite them or something....

    Are you planning a new career ??? .. he he

    That'll get appealed & clarified - it'll probably mean both the publisher & the writer will be jointly liable.

    It was a High Court decision. I reckon it could get pretty torrid such as when those "friendly" local neighbourhood Facebook or other social media sites go to custard. Who knows where it will go?
