The link above talks about how pregnant sheep sheared more often had lower cotisol levels (which they took to mean the sheep were less stressed and in better condition).

The link above talks about how fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris) leaf powder improves immunity and growth of common carp. I wonder if they'll put it in fish food for goldfish, too.

This science article tells about how blackcurrants have a positive effect on pist-meal glucose digestion. I find it fascinating that they say the portion size required is much less than previously thought (because I'm convinced the same is true for most of the beneficial effects of white mulberry fruits).

So, I made some baked spaghetti, today. Here's what I did:
I blended up a quart of home-canned stewed tomatoes from 2019 (including all the juice, skin, and seeds), with the following things: the equivalent of one or two bay leaves, a liberal amount of basil, extra virgin olive oil, granulated garlic, Himalayan pink rock sea salt, black pepper, paprika, about seven raisins, some ground mustard, some carrot powder, and that's it, I think. I blended it on the highest setting (besides mix, which you have to hold down) for a while. Then, I took some whole wheat spaghetti noodles, put them in a glass casserole pan (my oval one that fits in my toaster oven). I put the sauce on it, and added some water (not so much water that it would be soupy when finished, which is to say, significantly less than a quart; the pan was about ⅔ or ¾ of the way full). I mixed the water and sauce, and baked it for about 50 minutes on 450° F. in our toaster oven (apparently, with this kind of noodles, and less water than my previous experiments, it takes a lot longer to cook, but you don't have to drain it or thicken your sauce; previous experiments had pasta getting soft very quickly by comparison; so, watch to see if it's done before 50 minutes pass).
I was impressed at the flavor in the sauce. I purposefully omitted onions, parsley, oregano, and all that (because they give the impression of helping, but I think onions and maybe the others can actually hinder this sauce, even though in theory I like all of those things in spaghetti). I might have added celery, but celery can make me more light-sensitive.
Note that the spaghetti noodles themselves actually add flavor to the sauce.
The amount of noodles I used dry was maybe almost 2" thick of spaghetti when held between the thumb and index finger. The noodles were not boiled prior to baking.
Also note that we grew the tomatoes with very little water, and there were a lot of kinds of tomatoes canned together. So, this flavor profile might taste different than some tomato sauces would, especially considering the skins and seeds add flavor, too.
If you're confused about the carrot powder, it's just dried, blended up carrots (I made the powder a while ago). Maybe a fresh carrot would work just as well, but I don't know.

ScienceDaily article link
The above link describes how they studied people's stools and discovered that certain kinds of bacteria helped people produce active vitamin D. they supposed that supplementation and sunlight had little to no impact on active vitamin D levels, and that active vitamin D levels are the ones that matter wuth COVID-19 and other stuff.
What kinds of bacteria helped? They never said. They did say a chemical that those bacteria tended to produce, though.

We had beef pot roast, along with many of the usual Thanksgiving items, this year. It was good. We haven't been going to the grocery store, due to the COVID-19 virus; so, that's why we didn't have turkey. Well, I had turkey Stove Top stuffing; so, maybe I ate some turkey?

Question: Is activism allowed here?
Answer:
Often, no. The reason for this is because many of the tactics involved in activism are already against the rules. Also, some activism is political. If you can be an activist without breaking the rules, go for it.
Additionally, please avoid unfounded accusations, false claims, and lies in your activism. Please use sound reasoning.
If the thread is not an activist thread, please don't turn it into one.
Some kinds of activism are explicitly allowed elsewhere in the rules. See the rules about politics (with regard to organic gardening).

At long last, here are some seeds rated for zones 4 through 9, and they're very inexpensive, too! I've never shopped with this vendor (so, I can't say what it's like).

Here are some fun and/or mentally stimulating Android games for the Kindle Fire. I haven't checked out many new Android games in a while; so, these are all kind of old.
Kindle Fire 2:
• Bubble Shoot (There are a lot of games that are basically the same as this, but this one is my favorite.)
• Jewels Star (In theory, it's similar to Candy Crush Saga, but you're not limited in how many moves you get, and it goes fast; one of my favorites; I would play it more if it worked on my 6th edition.)
• Most of those in the next list
Kindle Fire HD 8 6th edition:
• Catan Classic (I play this the most, usually against computers. It's kind of hard to beat the computer at first, but once you get used to it, it's very achievable, even on the hardest setting. I played the board game version of it maybe four times before I got the app. Don't expect to play this app with people in-person, unless they're already very familiar with it, because it takes a really long time for new players to finish trading and stuff, and the computers try to trade a lot if one of the players is a computer and there are two human players.)
• Cut the Rope (and the others after it; I don't recommend ever using the special powers to pass levels, though; it's a physics puzzle game)
• Buttons and Scissors
• Cubistry (and similar)
• Dropwords
• Fireworks Arcade
• From Cheese
• Greedy Spiders (and its sequel; may trigger symptoms if you have adrenal fatigue that is activated by certain kinds of mental stress)
• Nexus Chess Online (fast and simple online Chess; no sign-up required)
• Pudding Monsters
• Ticket to Ride
• Word Puzzle for the Soul
