Aye, it surprises most folks who move to the 'country' how many of the people out there are employed in the prison industry. I think where I was in a rural area (about 20 people per square mile) about 5-8% of the jobs in the entire county were because of the local prison.

I once thought the females of the species had one opening for both. Growing up on a farm means you have some wicked advanced knowledge compared to other kids your age, but can introduce some really hilarious beliefs...

I never thought about why I thought women were more like our chickens than our horses/cows, but eh, some things just pan out.

Blowing bubbles is always the first thing I taught kids when they were learning to swim.

...that seems like it must have been faked. Even if the nerves had been burned off, that's serious damage. Nerves are in the dermis, and if that gets burned seriously enough to make all the nerve endings dead, you're going to have a bad time. Just because the pain isn't being felt also doesn't prevent further damage.

The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It's more common than you think. Sales, 'professionals' with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting.... these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.

If you really want to be an inconvenience, DON'T give them the plate numbers. Those will almost certainly come back to some entity or person that will clue the dispatchers in on them being government owned.

were obviously kidnappers, your honor, is what my client meant to say.

I mean, sort of, yes, but also no? It's another tool of power for a tyrannical government to wield, even if it is against companies I dislike.

That's amazing. How did you build the vertical space? I built about 300 observation towers into a lovely platform to 'skydive' from, and then my game lagged out. I have a really old comp, so it was expected, but still grumbling worthy. I couldn't really get the hang of the vertical building without stacking and deleting platforms.

Isn't that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html

If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don't have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.

Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.
