Chronic wasting disease (CWD) spreading throughout the US, creating "zombie deer" according to these very recent reports:

Apparently the disease literally eats away the infected animal's brain over time, and in its late, terminal stages causes heavy salivation, stumbling, severe weight loss, dehydration, excessive urination, and lack of fear towards humans (but not necessarily elevated aggression). So far there's no record of known cases of CWD affecting humans, but the possibility of non-human primates being vulnerable is a lingering risk.

Several YouTube comments I've seen on videos about zombie deer keep mentioning the Korean zombie film Train To Busan (2016), which supposedly starts off with infected deer. I may have to watch it now.

I also love being an uncle. It's also brought me much closer to my sister. 

 

Hahah as soon as my niece sees me she jumps with joy and it's 'be the dinosaur! be the dinosaur!'

 

Makes me laugh inside and out. It's a cool thing for sure.

woah I have never seen you post something personal like this. Cool, I love being an uncle as well. I'm the goofy fun (and when they get older 'the eccentric') uncle.

Might be. I remember seeing the film back in 2003. It was ass.

It's so weird the sorts of flaws that listening to mixes through shitty laptop speakers will reveal.  I swear half the time I end up revising "finished" mixes it's because I heard the track play on a lap top, and noticed something no studio monitors or headphones will ever tell me... and it subsequently makes it sound a little better on everything.  Never underestimate the value of a pair of extra shitty lap top speakers.

 

Apologies for any point this observation may have had.  There's probably a useful mix tips thread somewhere, but I have my go-to 4 or 5 threads that I like to stay loyal to.

"When the clear pictures came through, I thought there was no doubt. This is totally a hoodwinker," said Marianne Nyegaard, a marine scientist who discovered the species in 2017. "I couldn't believe it. I nearly fell out of my chair."

 

That’s what she said

After multiple viewings of each episode there is only one conclusion possible; Peep Show is the funniest show ever created. No other programme has ever offered me so many actual lols per minute, so many cringe induced yelps or so much recognition based groaning, huffing and hysterical head grabbing.

you can save a few seconds of your life if  you start your toilet flush moments before you're done using the restroom


It seems like any time a corpse gets aired on TV, it's always a sea mammal.  Land mammal corpses are still taboo, but if it came from the sea check out its cool dead body.

wow that's an impressive observation imho
