The pathetic fallacy, Imbuing animals with human characteristics. The Pathetic fallacy. so close to polytheisms. So far from the facts and God.

Both sandhill and whooping cranes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This law strictly prohibits the capture, killing, or possession of sandhill and whooping cranes without proper permits.

Sandhill Cranes have been found as far north as Alaska & Siberia.

Saw flock of those over downtown, riding then rising . First 100' above the sky scrapers. Then more, then higher circling endlessly, easy riding air currents higher and higher. Till just out of sight. then gone.

The birds were using thermals to least energy gain altitude then fly further from the height gains. Long before humans, just recently made gliders.

They been flying the thermals for millions of years before we ever knew about those. They are LD fliers and knew instinctively how to make use of thermals before humans ever existed.

Majesticly rising higher and higher, efficiently low wind resistance for at least 2 hrs., then on to the next city thermals further north.

Riding the solar powered winds city to city, Transcontinentally.

Do yer cooks actually understand why duck is so high in fat? Sugars about 6 cal./cc. Protein about 4; fats upwards of about 8 cal./gm. Duck can fly long distances due to high calorie fats.

Fat is very much less dense than water. And critter that floats on water will not sink, BUT rather float on water. When is the last time you saw a chicken fat blob sink in water? Never. A water bird full of water, weighs more. Full of fat weighs far less than water/cc., and thus can fly more and with less wing beats. Fat is light and full of calories.

That's the physics and nutritional facts about duck.

Heavy in fast and cholesterol. Sorry no pork for me either. The closest most here get to duck!, are low door frames. with TG and cholesterol problems should avoid duck. Or not a lot very often.

Bird steak but not beef nor pork loin.

Emus are birds. Pigs are mammals. Beef and horses are related. Whale meat and porpoise are not fish.

Gout does not define biology. Quite the reverse. The ability to clear DNA giving uric acid build up (gout) is not relevant. Gout does not define foods. The origins of edible foods does that.

Standards rule. Those must be biological based with foods. Anything else risks silliness and mistakes.

USDA is not biology. Biology rules. If the FDA says that something is not a food that's not good science. No gov agency can long act outside of natural events in existence.

If they do it too wrong, people can get hurt.

How's yer squash? You know his big ugly roundish thing with fur, above his neck?

When fish photosynthesis and grow chloroplasts, which will not happen. Vegetables are green plants. Shrooms are fungi.

don't go mixin yer plant and animal families.

Pork is mammalian. Its akin to mammals. So is horsemeat, elephant and so forth. Snake is reptile, bird is fowl. Fish is dependent upon species, and fresh water or sea.

It's biology that determines muscle meat, not how yer cook it.

Biologically , duck is not specific as to species or family; Yer terms are not defined. Biologically is a fowl not beef or pork. but more like chicken.

They can call it whatever they want but biology is primary and the arts are not.

Duck is bird meat, like chicken, Quail, pheasant, etc. It's not mammal meat.

MAYBE But the question we psychs and medicos have to ask, is how do you know it's accurate and measures what it claims to do?

We are naturally skeptical of such claims. too much quackery and Nootropic stuff about. Frankly it'd take a lot of medical training and experience to be sure. And reddit frankly, is "ads gone bad" place, too.

That's very true medically. Dad did that and with good genes lived to 99.

Am a natural night owl so tend to drift off the AM, night schedules; but a bit of promethazine, 10 mg. safely jolts me back into Day/night synch.

& treats the allergies too.

BS, longitudinal lines are approximations. We cannot draw a spherical map on a 2 D flat surface. An Approx but still wrong.

worthless, not accurate quasi info. It's an approximation and as such not quite right.

Natural boundaries such as river and lake sea coasts are not stable, set, nor precisely measurable.

Most competent map makers are aware of that. Not so 99% here.

Perfect circles do not exist. Idealisms are not real. That is another reason that Math , as Godel showed, is not complete, not always applicable, and occ. wrong.

Einstein a great empirical visual thinker said this. To the extent math is accurate it's useful. To the extent it's precise, it's not real. This einsteinian concept easily proves and is proven by the disparities between Maps and the features they pretend to show.

Mercator projections are not real. It distorts features. Either.

For instance if we look at 90 Deg map on the point directly below us, over a globe all the edges are distorted. If we move over 100 miles, worse. What we've mapped before is distorted and what we see 90 below us is NOT the same as 100 Miles East or west. Nor is the southern edge nor north edge.

So we do successive corrections and get an approximation. But it's never quite right. The flat map paper we lay down to read is Not exact either. Imposing that same 90 deg 2D flat map problem. See? Accurate, useful but assuming real goes too far.

As is said, what you measure depends by Einsteinian, true relativity, cannot be correct. There is NO absolute measure. There is NO absolute space/time. That space on the maps is a measure of that highly likely, by proven Relativity.

Thus ALL the flat maps we use are Wrongl! because they impose the Flat 2d, 90 deg but not spherical map on paper. National geo Maps are flat. The Earth is round, thus ALL OUR maps are not quite right.

So our maps' errors show the relativity of measuring methods. Missed that, dintcha!!

well, in the Cairo Museum there are mummies who are daddies.

fire a logical blunder buss and the whole thing falls.

nope. Those are implied micro corrections to a false 2D system imposed on a sphere. Beautiful curved, smooth spherical lines is what they can do. Rest is all SOThe Bull.

The truest critique is the best one,

why do dogs lick themselves? Because they can.

We call that egregious mental wanking.

We can ignore errors & false comments any time we choose. Point them out and move back into reality.

Not really just SOS lack of verification. utube is not the case.
