New Zealand was not Kung Fu fighting. As was foretold in prophecy.

We can all agree that it’s a tragedy that this animal died.

The other consideration is that polar bears are amongst the most relentless and vicious predators around. A polar bear around an inhabited area is very much a serious safety threat. Iceland doesn’t have any animal predators and therefore also wouldn’t have the trained people or equipment necessary to deal with neutralizing and relocating this bear.

I would have liked to have seen the animal safely moved. But I suspect there’s more context to this story that we don’t have beyond the headline.

The simple answer is yes.
It’s possible to encode or tunnel anything over any protocol.

The next question is why isn’t it done more?

1. http has basically become the defacto internet protocol for all media content. This has resulted in a lot of other protocols from becoming blocked due lack of support or due to firewall rules.
2. efficiency. http (and all the other protocols it runs atop) have become highly optimized for doing what it does. To layer something like http over another protocol, would certainly be possible but it would likely be slower, less responsive and lack a lot of the niceties that make http work as well as it does.

For the above reasons it’s actually more common to see other protocols run on top of http. This is especially common to prevent blocking and censorship by making the traffic look like normal http traffic when it may actually be private messaging apps, file transfers, VPN, etc.

Oh wow. You have so much more wonderful DS9 ahead of you still!

I like to recommend the episode(s) on John McAfee when people first start Bastards. They’re wild and not nearly as dark/heavy as some episodes can be.

If you want to be able to trim off the ends, I suggest a double fisherman’s instead (aka the double overhand stopper) with both strands (hold them together while you tie and treat them as a single strand).

With either knot, after you trim, you can melt the ends of the elastic cord. It will “mushroom” a bit, which will also prevent the tips from creeping into the knot and coming loose.

A flat overhand bend in the elastic cord is what I recommend: https://www.animatedknots.com/flat-overhand-bend-knot

Justification:
Simple, not bulky, reasonably secure against shaking loose, and relatively easy to untie.

As suggested in another comment, a double figure eight could be used as well. It will be more bulky and a bit less likely to come loose.

Promise?

I think we’re saying the same thing?

You have your end grain slab laid on a table in front of you. From left to right divide cut it into parallel pieces (width of these is up to you 2" or 3" is probably fine). With them all laid on the table on their original pattern, rotate or flip alternating slices. Glue it up.

Ignorant question…
What country are you referring to?
Who and how is that enforced?

The bigger the wood the more movement it will have. End grain boards like you describe often have their pieces oriented in opposing directions to manage the warping due to expansion and contraction. Plus the more pieces the more glue jointing holding it together.

To provide more stability, you could cut a series of slices and flip every other one such that the curve of the grain is alternating.

Of all the fork shapes, the table fork seems the least useful for its named purpose.

If you’re using Sync there’s an option called “filter user”. Post dot menu / filter / user.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if he was in his early 60s.

One of the ways you can get your numbers higher is with platelet donation. A donation via plateletpheresis can occur every few weeks. They basically take blood out, process out the platelets and pass the blood back into you, which results in less of an impact to the donor vs a standard whole blood donation.

Very cool!

I was recently donating while a guy celebrated his 200th donation!

HUUUUGE … tracts of land!

I can only speak to my own experience, but maybe?
Also, I lied about being American and participated in this thread anyways.
