The crushed bodies of a Central and South American insect, called the Cochineal, produces a natural red dye.

They are used for textiles, food-coloring, and cosmetics. Next time you see an ingredients list that includes carmine, cochineal extract or natural red 4, it comes from these bugs.

Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

They absolutely do! Some animals mate for life. Some mourn when one of their own dies (see whales, elephants). Parrots who are lonely may self-mutilate. Dogs can remember you and get so excited to see you, even after being separated for years. Interspecies friendships exist. It's like... I don't see how people can still think animals DON'T have emotions.

They just don't make faces like humans do. Although interestingly, dogs developed eyebrow muscles that give them more human-like expressions, which therefore strengthens our bond with them.

Tonight's show in Boston. Apparently Perry Farrell was wasted and kept messing up the vocals, everyone was pissed but tried to work through it, then Perry flips out on Dave Navarro and had to get wrestled down.

They're on a reunion tour with the original members for the first time in 14 years, but they might just be done after this.

A difficult music passage. Sometimes you gotta take a break and revisit.

Same for video games lol

Mine's the Vietnamese bánh mì. Cucumbers, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeños, mayo spread (similar to Kewpie), paté, and your choice of meat, on a Vietnamese baguette. I prefer traditional cold cuts, char siu (xa xiu), or meatballs (xiu mai). And I always pay for extra paté.👌🏼

Fun question! There's an abundance in Vietnamese. Usually used by parents and/or old folk (I can hear it now...)

Mèo khen mèo dài đuôi — Literal translation "cat praises cat's long tail." A way of expressing narcissism.

Uống nước nhớ nguồn — Literal translation is "drink water, remember roots." So you'd pause, reflect, and remember where you came from.

Gieo gió gặt bão— Literal translation is "sow winds, weather storms." A way of saying "you reap what you sow."

Có công mài sắt có ngày nên kim — Literal translation "Perseverance grinds iron some day into needles." Used like "practice makes perfect."

Trời có mắt — Literal translation "Heaven has eyes." Usually used when someone's wronged, but don't worry - heaven is watching.

Gần mực thì đen, gần đèn thì sáng — Literal translation "near the ink it blackens, near the lamp it lights." You're influenced by those you're around.

Nuôi ong tay áo — Literal translation "raise bees in shirtsleeve." As in "to nurture a snake in one's bosom," kindness will be met by betrayal.

I actually had my partner read this too, and we're in agreement, so you've got both a male and female opinion here lol:

SHE asked for your number, SHE wanted to spend more time with you. Seems awfully convenient that she wasn't able to do her work for whatever reason, and instead was content with just chit chatting. Also – hearts are flirty. Especially at work AND you just met the person.

We think she's interested but you probably didn't do enough during the hang out, and she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she just downplayed it.

Our advice is to just ask her out. She seems more forward, so she probably appreciates confidence. "Hey I had fun talking! We should get dinner some time. Are you available?"

They were certainly negligent in not properly assessing McClain (who was already restrained) prior to ketamine admin. Once ketamine was given, they then also failed to monitor and recognize cardiac arrest.

This case will likely lead to change in paramedic emergency care protocols.

I sort of feel sorry for the paramedics in the sense that they were too complacent and should have told the cops "no" when they tried to dictate patient care (as in, 'you need to sedate this dangerous person'). I work in healthcare too, so I'm familiar with cops trying to dictate medical care and the importance of advocating for your pt when that happens. It can be intimidating to tell a cop to fuck off, but sometimes you have to do it. If nothing else, it's your ass on the line.
