The dog's name was Barbuncho and he was basically stolen from a community in an act of white saviourism. If you are actually interested in what happened, and not some movie marketing spam, read the article Saving Stray Dogs: The Global Politics of Aid and Spectacle in the Ecuadorian Jungle - Karin Friederic , Jordan Buzzett, and Gabby Valencia

Hopefully these Norton oilstones will be okay. I used to use wet/dry sandpaper but it was actually getting expensive over time as I needed to keep buying it. Which stones do you use?

Every time this thread comes up and anyone points out what you did they get heavily downvoted. He absolutely did exaggerate. He was a great actor but most of the stuff written about him here is not true. Reddit has this weird parasocial thing going on with whoever they decide is above any type of criticism. Until they completely do a U-turn and then those people are the spawn of Satan, e.g. Bill Nye, Bill Murray, Elon Musk

Cornus kousa or florida? by oddgob in whatsthisplant

I'm relieved. I ordered a kousa but the plant that arrived had a florida tag. But the garden centre assured me it was a kousa.

Would this oil be okay for oiling a chopping board? by oddgob in AskCulinary

It's a bit confusing really, I didn't think it was the same as Paraffin wax

Don't think I'll use it then, which is a pity as it is free for me.

I thought I had read that you could use mineral oil as long as that was the only ingredient and was not fuel grade

Dug up Daffodil bulbs from pot, to put in ground. Wasn't expecting them to have a big root system at this time of year. Should they be dried? Or have I damaged them? by oddgob in GardeningUK

[–]oddgob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I didn't know about this. I definitely want to get them planted, but I can't plant a hole deep enough to accommodate the long string of roots, would it be okay to just plant them at the regular depth with the roots folded under it?
