That one about the cat having multiple families reminds me of a book I read in grade school. I forget the name, but the plot is that this cat with very distinctive markings lives in an apartment building where the neighbors hate each other SO MUCH, they never talk to one another. So he spends one day a week with a different person, being fed a different, extravagant meal with each person. Like, human meals. Well, he got super fat. So every day for a week, he was taken to the vet. Each person had a different name for him, so it took all 5 or 7 (I forget if it was a 5 days a week or 7 days a week thing) visits for the vet to realize that a cat with distinctive markings came in every day for a week for the same issue, but it was all under different names. He called the people, ratted kitty out, and because the people love him so much, they put aside their differences and put him on a diet of canned cat food. He ran away and found a new apartment building where the neighbors were friendly and didn’t give a frick about sharing custody of the cat lol

She was just like "yeah, this guy's alright" like, he wasn't even her favourite. Her favourite was Diomedes (perhaps she had a hero she preferred over Diomedes. But considering Diomedes was her favourite at least at the time of the Trojan War (the same war Achilles fought and died in) it ends up being the same. Achilles wasn't Athena's favourite). Who was in many aspects a greater warrior than Achilles. Especially in the manner that he was one of only 2 mortals to ever harm an Olympian god. The other being Herakles aka Hercules.

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now. [1] A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[2] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[3] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species,[1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, after the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae.[4] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[5] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). Evolution of grass Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[6] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.[7] Grass and people Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets.

13:00 I don't know about building an entire house like that, but straw roofing lasts forever man. One of the oldest buildings in my city, just a few years ago, had it's roof replaced for the first time in a hundred years.

I’m a guy researching corn starch foams rn (ask 0 questions) and p much only works with the starches of corn because the carbon-hydrogen interactions are specifically perfect for reorganizing with large space between when heated to expansion. Find other starches, sure, but they will not rapidly expand and stabilize like corn. Everyone say thank you corn starch
