By law, here, they must freeze all sashimi. Not sure that does all they want it to. I'm just happy that after eating the forbidden thing, I have neigh stray eyelashes any more.

Omura-Satoshi won the Nobel for its discovery in Japanese soil samples. The stuff killed worms. I grew up eating off Imari and using chopsticks. But not everyday. My grandfather spent the years between the wars there. It is true about the bad sushi worms. The nasty ones as far as I am concerned are hook worms. It starts with them eating a hole between your toes. I won't even say what happens next. Here is a sushi horror story.

A California man ate raw fish almost every day — until a 5-foot-long tapeworm slithered out of his body
He told an emergency room physician he had a liking for raw fish – specifically, salmon sashimi.

I saw what looked like an adult roundworm sticking up and waving around in a piece of sashimi salmon.Omura-Satoshi won the Nobel for its discovery in Japanese soil samples. The stuff killed worms.

Went to the market today for New Year’s holiday foods which typically includes a lot of large crustaceans. Turns out Snow Crab is much more abundant and cheaper than in any previous years due to climate change and rising ocean temperatures. Maine Lobster is absent this year though due to decreased air cargo capacity. The only clawed lobster available came from Oman. Puny, they looked like overgrown crawdads. No thanks.
My niece in New Jersey also commented that Blue Crab is plentiful in the NorthEastern seaboard now due to rising sea temperatures.

Fish can have all sorts of unpleasant parasites. One to consider is salmon poisoning via a parasite thatOmura-Satoshi won the Nobel for its discovery in Japanese soil samples. The stuff killed worms.

may or may not be serious for humans, but will kill your dog. The parasite produces toxin deadly for
dogs.

It's not green to waste billions of pieces of paper. The poor guy has ethics and a conscience. Wrong job.

Woman politely asks a CVS pharmacist to pull a Moderna safety insert from package. It’s blank! 👀 His reaction says it all. Truly powerful.

Economic activity is very much at the heart of green issues. This is an excellent visualization of IMF GDP data for 2021.

Yup, snow here has seldom lasted more than a cpl days in the last 20 yrs, but it´s damn cold out
& the snow ain´t meltin´. I suppose the plus is that we haven´t had a decent snow pack in the mtns
for sometime, but what will happen come the run off? It occurs to me we may face another worry
beyond climate change & Omicron. What if the Dampanic goes the way of pesticides & antibiotics?
Being a micro-organism, C-19 is capable of evolving many times faster than humans. Are our
efforts creating a super bug as antibiotics have done for TB & other diseases. What will the
Omega variant be like???
I´m sure big pharm is keeping it´ś fingers optimistically crossed.

This virus is good at being bad. It is very sloppy, making lots of random coding, replication errors each time it infects another person. Most of these errors are dead ends. But sometimes it hits the jackpot and stumbles upon a mega hit, Power Ball combination that goes viral. The best way to stop this is to avoid it replicating in ourselves.Yup, snow here has seldom lasted more than a cpl days in the last 20 yrs, but it´s damn cold out

No problem, I´ve been avoiding everything & everybody for years. I am a social hermit. I get agoraphobic
going to the post office in this one horse dorp. Too deaf for theaters, too cheap for restaurants. & I
outgrew nightclubs decades ago.

And that there is Mission Impossible. There are other countries and they can all send their best to stampede right in by the thousands. But then, isn't that what you demanded?

Okay, so, I stepped away from this thread for a week or so, came back to have a quick look, and am very pleasantly surprised to see how totally frickin' weird it's getting. In two pages, we got turkeys, worms, buckshot, a little light virus & vax bickering of the more playful variety, more weird weather, PowerBall DNA mutation and age-related isolation.
I don't know where you're going all with this, but I think I like it. It sounds like everyone skipped the eggnog this year and broke out the peyote instead-- a little jealous, but I'm in the program, so I'll just follow along by inducing a substance-free flashback, which has been working well for quite a while now.
Here in tinseltown, I'm not sure we've had this much rain since 1997, which is probably some artifact of AGW, but my cabin-fever is too outta control for logical thinking or actually looking at any data and trying to draw any conclusions. I got in one good ride on the Solstice before the heavens opened, I've had no exercise in about ten days, so sanity is on the back burner, probably until well into the new year.
On Turkeys: My favorite Thanksgiving / Turkey cartoon is from George Price circa 1950-something, and shows a man walking down a city street, struggling to keep his grip on the feet of an enormous turkey that is flapping and squawking, as his wife stands with her arms folded and gives him a withering stare: "Oven-Ready costs a few pennies more, Oven-Ready is worth a few pennies more."

I think the whole country is experiencing something akin to cabin fever. The Inuit call it parawatok. I call
it pandemic traumatic stress disorder. Whatever it is, it´s driving people nuts. The media thrives on
feeding us our daily ration of covid terrorism. Big pharm flogs us with ads that don´t really tell you what
they´re for, but have more side effects than the disease for which they´re prescribed. Most of the other
ads entail body shaming or touting other crap that no one really needs. Smash your TV & take up
knitting or basket weaving, anything that might be soothing amidst to death throws of civilization
disintegrating into anarchy.
