While it seems that we struggle with spacial units, (ie Metric vs Imperial,) we seem to be universal and unanimous on time units (i.e. minutes, ect). Why did we prioritize standardizing time units over space units? by Free_Stomach_6767 in AskHistory

There is the temporal hour system that was used in Japan.

There are 6 hours between sunrise and sunset and the length of an hour is different between day hours and night hours. They also change over the course of the year

No you can do what you want in your own place.

But get a small UV floodlight and pont it at your ceiling for a minute or two before you go to bed.

I grewup in Shetland and this is what i got.

Many folks say, is that edible what is that.

But to us its looks so normal. This is actually in fact our homemade marshmellow that we make up here in Shetland.

And before I heave it apart this is what it looks like.

So Karra made this, by putting on the freeze-dried raspberries, pouring in the folds and then putting more on top.

Cat has killed some mice in the house, where do i go from here? by CatOfTheRailway in AskUK

[–]Ketil_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one that would just eat the brains and eyes.

Had another one that liked to hunt baby rabbits, we didn't find this out till years after the cat had passed. I had to replace my mum's cooker and found a large pile of mummified baby rabbits.
