Tips on removing all faults/dented Jello mold

friends

i need some.

thanks in advance.

Does bread baked in a dented pan taste any different?

Does it not provide the same nutritional value as the so-called "perfect bread"?

Whether the pan has the trademarked "Jehovah" or the generic brand "Sinner" stamped in the bottom - it's all just irrlevant branding that doesn't change the flavor or quality of the bread.

Perfect = uniformity. Perfect = clones of a singular. That's not really what DNA is great at, and it's not what reality tends to reward. Reality often rewards life based on differences*.

Took my son (5 yrs) shooting for his first time.

by dazed but not confused in

i went with my neighbor to an outdoor shooting range in the pawnee national grasslands in colorado.

its about 2 hours northeast of denver.

it was awesome.

Professional victims.

They teach their children how to shoot foxes and coyotes.. when there are no foxes and cyotes left they cry about the exploding mouse populations.

Professional victims.

I will buy food from the people who get it. People who played it smart.

Okay. You understand that humans have lost about a tennis ball worth of our brains since our Cro Magnon days?

Everything else aside - I would like to see evidence to support this. Cro Magnon was not exactly creating iPhones. What exactly did they do that earned them this high-IQ reputation?

There is a similar phenomenon with wild canids. They are not as receptive to human body language as domestic dogs, but in all other respects they are much smarter.

I have no reason at all to accept the first unsupported assertation, but go on.

Traps will eliminate about 10% off of the left hand side of the bell curve and that is all. The rest are too smart to even go near a trap. Poison will get a little bit more and will hurt other species you honestly don't want to hurt. And, depending upon the poison could spread though the ecosystem towards the top of the food chain.

Agreed.

This doesn't affect most people, but in places like where I live, (USA, AZ) urban sprawl has crept right up to the gates of native land. You can't even disturb a pebble, much less kill an animal on native land. The land and the wildlife on it is sacred.

Sounds more like your problem is you're not allowed to steal?.. from lands you don't own? Native Americans should have some rights today as well I think.

Your point about evolution is well made. We are systematically breeding a super species here. I can recognize that, but at the same time, point out that it does not address the here and now.

Indeed, and I will admit to de-railing the topic in that regard - it is absolutely assured that local farmers markets and ranchers are engaging in means more extreme than I would prefer to ensure that their hard-earned product reaches market.

The question I would ask is - is there a target middle ground? I have to assume even farmers don't really want to spend their time shooting at things. I imagine a scenario where food isn't so much of a moral delima for famers to grow, it is a realistic happy median for everyone (execpt the dang incects for a while) to enjoy. Personally - if I could create a network communication system without pulling out the ol' gun to kill bugs - that'd be a pretty happy day.

In so many ways we have mastered agricutulre and even ranching - perhaps in another 1000 years we'll have figured it out completely. ;)

You yourself identify the target as a smart species.

How can anyone form an informed opinion on a topic if those who do understand the topic won't speak up?

I'll freely admit I'm far more experienced in the realities of network communications - I make a living understanding how an old-school telephone can connect to a modern digital cellphone half-way around the world. That is the simply the expertise that life has led me to.

However, I also understand that if I shoot my cat everytime it does something wrong, my cat is dead. It learns nothing form being killed and never will, and it has no opportunity to create offspring. But based on the concepts of evolution, provided there is a reward for surviving your exteme punishment, you are teaching biology nothing more than how to outsmart you. Do you have a long-term solution to use biology in your favor, or is it just an immediate reaction without a long-term plan?

Attempting to rid the world of a species that doesn't behave the way you prefer will never work. Survival dictates that those who survive will be the ones you fail to kill. You train them only to be better at the thing you wish they didn't do. To create artificial selection that works, you have to ensure those that survive are rewared for the behavior you prefer.

With every coyote you kill, you've only weeded out one of the thousands that wasn't smart enough and that won't pass on it's less-than-smart-enough genes.

I would think the question is: How do you take control of that situation? How do you make dumber coyotes.. that don't need to pursure livestock, etc.

I am curious now, how do the indigenous people fit in? Am I just imagining their proximity prohibits a more preferred solution?

(I, like most people have mouse traps in their garage, afterall)

Sounds like you have given up, TD.

Given up on a smart solution while so much technology is readily at your disposal.

Upon reading - seems like Dazed scenario is a case where perhaps a less extreme technology could be used.

An opportunity for "artificial selection".

TD- coyotes are open season here with no permit required. Overpopulation. Didn’t see any.

See!! I'm telling you - custom drones. With night vision.

Damn coyotes. I hear they eat old people's medicine for fuel. An impossible problem to solve in 2014.

Dazed... it's not like you or your offspring figured out the scientific principles behind gunpowder or guns. It's not like Jesus did. ;)

Science-minded people did. People who asked questions and experimented.

The exact power of gunpowder and therefore guns if governed by physics. By truth.

PS: God defended the Garden of Eden by a sword. What a putz.

Truthseeker677: It is absolutely not iresponsible at all.

Consider the opportunity to hold your offspring up on your shoulders - your experience. To spread to them your accumulated knowledge. Consider what you have to share to your offspring what you have learned about the world with what... thousands of similar people learned about the world just the same. The figured out the same things, period.

Consider what the collective whole has learned about the world. Much, much, much greater what you have learned.

The majority of the world figured it out: If you want to eat fish, there is economy in numbers.
