Years ago when the kids were little and we lived in the country on a lifestyle block, the kids had pet lambs for training for school agriculture events.
They didn’t end up in the deep freeze but we had to find homes for them to live out their days living on green fresh grass.
So the theory went! Probably ended up in someone’s else’s freezer.

My brother-in-law held back his children's demands for a pet rabbit for years, by stating, 'OK, as long as you will let me prepare it for the meal'.
A few years later, they did have a pet rabbit, and I never heard anything about him planning to prepare it. I guess that the kids had grown old enough to take the full responsibility for the pet.

Never.
- Most animals kept by my neighbours are not kosher.
- Meat from the butcher is much less hassle.

What is a pet in a land is a typical dish in another one. So... yes.
Not the one of the neighbour, but the same animal that the neighbour had as a pet.

Technically, no. However, I have eaten chicken, pork, and beef that came from animals that I knew, most notably a Yorkshire pig that I raised for a school project...his name was Wilbur...yes, I cried like a baby when we shipped him to the slaughterhouse...and yes, I did enjoy the bacon! 
The others were animals (all but the chickens had names) that came and went on my grandparents 100-acre farm where I used to spend my summers.

I was 10 years old and lived next to a farmer.
At 10 I never wondered where the food we ate came from.
One day the farmer said he was going to butcher some chickens for dinner.
Did I want to help SURE When the Ax dropped one of the candidates got loose.
I was horrified but now I knew where the food we ate came from
And How It Got To The Grocery Store
One of my stepchildren at 10 wanted to be vegetarian.
I totally got it.

Linux From Scratch!
So, I'm making an app (huge shock), and this app will be the only thing hosted on a dedicated VPS when all is said and done. It doesn't need much umph right now during development, so I'm putting it on a cheapo VPS with one VCPU for now. Ok cool, but that's essentially one core with no guarantee it'll be hyper-threaded. I mean, lscpu reports more than one, but it's a cheapo VPS I've had lying around for years that I never used. So, there's gotta be throttling.
These days, every dependency is built with multithreaded support by default, say if you use system packages from Debian or Ubuntu. And that makes sense, BUT... If your machine is only rocking one core, multithreading is actually slower. So, it would behoove me to rebuild the dependencies like libcurl to only use a single thread. Or, just get a beefier VPS for this app, but I got this VPS for another year, so may as well use it for testing.
Dunno if anyone has ever built libcurl from scratch but it's a long, painful process if you want proper support with protocols and whatnot. However, dun dun dun...
The folks at LFS (Linux From Scratch) pretty much give you step-by-step instructions on building curl... which in turn means building libcurl. And it's kept up to date every six months. These folks are awesome and this and Gentoo are the only distros of their kind.
Note: Ok, realistically I'll just pay more for a better VPS when this thing is ready to go live and the performance delta during testing is acceptable. Which means its back to multithreading any way I slice it. But... but but but... there's still the cool factor of building your own deps for static linking. Never forget the cool factor.

Gave up on Linux awhile back.
This has renewed my interest.
Thanks.
BYW, somewhere in my pile of distros over the years,
I have one the first Linux mass distros.
Now I am inspired to find it.
On CD, floppy?

Yeah man Linux is great. I mean it’s also a huge time sink. But it’s the thinker’s OS. I sure can’t make a custom build of anything Windows to suit my purpose. And you shouldn’t always do that on Linux, but you can… if you need to.
On my phone so can’t quote. But, I dunno if the first distribution was a floppy. Kinda curious. I got into Linux back into the CD days. Me and a buddy used to collect them like candy.

 Know what you mean! Time sink, but one can roll your own. Windows no way.

... discussing what will happen to Russia once the war with Ukraine is finally over and the soldiers get to go home.
The best response so far is simple: "Let's just say Amazon will never get approval for air drone parcel delivery." 
Wish I'd thought of that ... excellent comment.

I wish it were another joke, but it isn't.
Broke an eye socket, a few ribs, collarbone and his shoulder bone.
Must hurt like hell and he doesn't remember what happened.
He was on vacation in Germany so he's in a German hospital.
He just had long covid and prostate cancer (which may or may not come back, they're monitoring).
Guy has been sick at home for three or four years and I guess he just got himself an extra year...
I don't know if there's such a thing as "luck", but my uncle certainly isn't having any of it (although he could be dead three times over, is another way of looking at it).
A former coworker got tripped by his cat and all he had were some bruised arms.
Reminds me of our local bicycle repairman about fifteen years ago, just after his retirement he lost an eye, got cancer and broke his pelvis (and got an iron plate) all in three years time.
And after all that he still fixed my bike!

That's nasty. I hope he has a swift and complete recovery.
