    I am one of the most vehemently anti-war people I know, and yet I too am transfixed by old warbirds. We (humans) haven't built aircraft like that in a long time. In fact, the airspeed record for piston-engined aircraft is currently held by a heavily modified p51 mustang, which hit 554 mph...

    This is one of the best things I've ever seen. SlappyFlaps.mov :lau

    We have flood warnings over here, we've had 60mm of rain in 48hrs, which is substantial. Early predictions were up to 3x that much for the week, but they've dialed it back since. I hydroplaned on the drive to college yesterday morning

    I've seen a lot of (perhaps less observant) people cite behavior like this as evidence of their rooster being a "coward," but I totally agree that it's exactly the opposite. Good job, Stilton!

    Slightly off topic from chickens, but I installed an update for the BYC app that promised to fix the issue with uploading photos (previously I had to open up the website if I wanted to post pictures, very inconvenient). Pictures seem to work now, but it appears that the app has decided that it...

    Sorry to hear about what sounds like a very trying day, Shad. I hope everyone's okay/gets better soon. Bad things have a habit of happening all at once, it seems :/

    Chicken came out great! Took longer to bake through than I expected. Meat was very flavorful and moist, the dark meat in particular was a hit. The remainder will make a great soup later this week :D Do cooked chickens count as tax...?

    Sure! Here's the link for the sauce/rub. It's an interpretation of a Roman recipe from the 1st century CE. Garum is a Roman fish sauce, but any Asian fish sauce will do as long as the ingredients are just fish, salt, and maybe sugar. I use the Squid brand. I could not source lovage so I'm...

    Interesting! I've always heard 25, but I've also heard from many people that one never really feels "grown up."

    I know I promised to get some chicken pictures today, but unfortunately the in-laws have all come down with something so we didn't go visit. :( I've got a chicken thawing right now, bought it from a family friend. It's a Cornish cross, I was hoping for a heritage bird but it's leagues better...

    Happy thanksgiving! I'm going to be having two celebrations this year, neither of which are today :P but I'm going to be cooking a chicken for one of them, and I'm pretty excited about the recipe

    Personally, I've never gotten a gift because I don't let my cat out unsupervised. I really wish it didn't have to be that way, but my neighborhood already hosts an unnatural concentration of pet cats and I don't want to add to the problem. We still have lots of birds, but I wonder how many more...

    I think there might be a misunderstanding, I can go into a little more detail. I do not think that the cat is more important than any other predator. If anything, wildlife is far more valuable from the ecological perspective. It's here that I must confess that I've been unable to read the...
