@fungible_thadius , I moved to a pressure cooker. It really speeds up the process, and I think the end quality is better.

@mcc maybe this will help:

@LindaVT just sat down at a computer, and the wiki on the Raccoon Dog is pretty good. They are very distantly related to foxs. They are canids, but a species all its own. There is a map of where they originate, and where they were introduced and are invasive.
Just a side note...

@Freedom2B @w7voa that I understand. But that isn't quite my question. My question is that if I see an organism, and study the organism, does it help me to know about the organism's genetic code better if I know it's origin from a host in the past? Or will modern gene sequencing make that knowledge superfluous?
I'm physics, not biology, and I have a tendency to look at things in situ. That may not be the correct term... I mean in the place they are now, in the state they are now. Previous conditions just seem irrelevant to me. If looking at f=ma, stdying a rock in motion, there are no terms that apply for what happened to that rock yesterday.
@LindaVT, ya, I just learned that today. I'm not impressed with bush meat trade, anywhere in the world. I'm not overly impressed with farmed animal trade either... but at least that doesn't spread disease.
@LindaVT a really pretty creature that looks like a dog and a raccoon had pups. I don't think it's related to either, and is apparently an invasive species in some parts of the world. Really neat animals, amazingly adaptable.
@breadandcircuses , I highly doubt this is even close to truth. What would they buy, and from who? Would those purchases spur a population boom and be self defeating?
@lowqualityfacts , Doritos were also used to construct a livable geodesic dome, or Bucky Home in Alaska that survived the 1964 earthquake.
@Freedom2B @w7voa , do you think knowing the origins helps us know the genetics?

So, my intro: I’m an ex-Twitteree. I lived in Manhattan 25 years. Have degrees in economics, photography & journalism. Most of my career was marketing executive at a major record label. Left the rat race 12 yrs ago, moved to VT, got remarried to the love of my life. Finally finished PhD in Political Economy. I do website design & landscaping for a living. I rescue Border Collies, hate facism, & am vegan to reduce the suffering caused by animal agriculture. Democrat to the bone. #Resist
@swordsjew , I very rarely expect moral consistency from any I see of as politically on the right. Goldwater and Eisenhower are long dead. The right failed to follow their lead.
@w7voa I'm sure this is very interesting from a scientific point of view. But with this help knowing how to treat? Would it have helped in the past knowing how to treat? Will it help understanding future treatments?
@bkm , the company producing those missed an opportunity... those are TACTICAL socks. Not just Cargo... Those will win wars just by being nearby fat cosplayers!
@bkm Only if you wear them with sandals.
@swordsjew , just to add, great grand pa was one of those evangelical assholes as well. Surprisingly, a Quaker, but with that 'spare the rod, spoil the child' mentality.
@swordsjew , my grandmother was a gymnast. When she was 17, her father tried to beat her one last time, and she demolished the guy. I think she was exceptionally proud of her actions on that day, and I made sure every one of my kids knew the story, and now my grandkids will know the story.
@w7voa , I would like to point out this shows that Russia still has the capability to intercept a drone.
@victor@tooters.org all the racism, none of the farmland?
