hey vegans/vegetarians now is the time, i am actively asking for input.
i'd really love some tips for meat alternatives that are not soy based & are, critically, affordable on a tight budget.
(other protein & vitamin tips are welcome, especially dairy alternatives. again, looking for non soy & as low budget as possible.)
It’s been over a week and am still trying to comprehend that a removal guy found a dead mouse under our sofa but instead of telling one of us (so we could dispose of it like sane people), he tied a string around its tail and hung it up in the doorway to annoy his colleagues while they carried out stuff out of the house
I mean literally that reads like someone with no writing ability trying to write a bad prank or something, I actually can’t even comprehend who would even think to do something like that it’s so disgusting
*idly looking at the fish you can display in aquariums in ffxiv when i see the rockfish model*
oughghgghhh (<- noise i made)
Rough Ryder Seahorse – Whittler Black Micarta RR2217 Folding Knife
Well I have looked at a lot of folding knives lately including Rough Ryder Knives. Rough Ryder has a huge collection and I have been looking at a lot of Them. I “like” them all. Well made, sharp and pretty. What can I say. However I finally found the one. Yep don’t like this one I fell in love with it. Finally a folding knife that does not have a clip point on a multiple bladed folding knife. I…

Why don’t you enjoy Japanese fish market at Numazu port in Shizuoka prefecture ?
Why don’t you enjoy Japanese fish market at Numazu port in Shizuoka prefecture ? I’m Nobu, I like traveling overseas and in Japan, visited 25 countries. I’ve got the license of the certificate English guide in Japan for 8 years. I show you hidden Japan which you have never seen and heard of! Numazu Port I went to Numazu Port. It takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Tokyo station, get off…

Anyone watching a crime show knows how much we can tell about a person through their teeth. But what about animals? How can we translate perfectly-drawn anatomy to character?
Since teeth are used regularly in many species, they wear and change along with the animal’s history. Most animals have adult teeth for life. Some teeth are designed to grow fast enough to compensate for heavy wear, which can be problematic if the environment or diet changes (such as a domestic vs. wild rabbit).
I’m going to focus on species which don’t continually replace teeth, as I haven’t worked with a lot of crocodilians or sharks directly. I’ll need to do a bit more digging before I explore that topic.

Diet & Dentition
Herbivores

Note the difference in molar color between the older and younger hippos.

Herbivore teeth are the pickup trucks of dentition. They experience and need to be made for heavy, constant wear. Herbivores may chew fibrous, often starchy material that might be protected by thick cell walls or irritating structures.
Herbivorous teeth have evolved to compensate for this wear. In fact, when many herbivores don’t eat regularly, they are prone to conditions like overgrown teeth and ulcers.
These giant jawbones support strong chewing muscles. These animals are meant to be eating for most of the day.
Since I should have realized herbivore teeth pics would be harder to find, have a skull!

Note the teeth for two main purposes: pulling and chewing. Get a look at those jawbones too. Those anchor very strong, very well-used muscles.
For some examples of abnormal wear, check out this veterinarian’s article on horse dental problems. This isn’t a perfect example of what occurs in wild animals but since we take closer looks at horse teeth it’s a nice set of pictures. Slight content warning for dental disease. https://www.texasequinedentist.com/equine-dental-care/common-equine-dental-problems.html#:~:text=Horse%20teeth%20wear%20in%20specific,issue%20for%20today's%20domestic%20horses.
Carnivores

Carnivorous animals eat less frequently, but need to remove and pick apart flesh from bone. They experience less frequent and more specialized use.
Consider several tigers and their dentition. What is different about them? Which individuals are older?

See: Pink gums, little discoloration, little signs of wear especially on the back teeth.

See: Wear, slight inflammation between gums/teeth, yellowing, missing incisor. Possibly a chip on the right upper canine? Could be the image quality. Look at the discoloration on those molars.

See: What happened to those incisors? I’m pretty sure those are adult canine teeth and those usually come in last, and we can’t see the lower incisors....it could be that those are coming in and I’m just not sure on the tooth order. This cat doesn’t look old but I’m not sure what went on with the front teeth here.

See: Here come the grownup canines! Notice some slight inflammation around the gums where they’re erupting, and how the rest of the teeth are whiter and healthy.
