In particular, sheep are highly sensitive to copper, so some goat-feeds and minerals cannot be consumed by sheep. Sheep and goats also have different fighting-styles… I have to admit I had never before thought about this! ---

We might be on our way to a record number of concurrent posts that have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. I am NOT complaining. Watching Rowan Atkinson confuse Peter Cook, instead of seeing Donald The Disgraced, means I’m a lot saner. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > “Nobody ever heard the term ‘supply chain,’” Trump said. “The supply chain, it was automatic. It just was embedded. It was embedded in a free country, in a democracy. It was embedded in our country. We didn’t sit around talking about the supply chain. Now all of a sudden, it’s the two words people are using most because you can’t get anything.” To be fair, he’s trying to say that nobody heard “supply chain” during his administration. Which is also wrong. “This pandemic has reaffirmed the importance of keeping vital supply chains at home. We cannot outsource our independence.” - [the iDJiT in April of 2020](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-falsely-suggests-there-were-no-supply-chain-issues-when-he-was-president-2022-1) ---

It turns out that he was not only tearing up presidential memos and the like (forcing staff to follow after him, gather up the pieces, and tape them back together, because of the Presidential Records Act requiring that all things written down must be saved) – in some cases he actually _BURNED_ the papers.
