Whale Oil Beef Hooked.:eek: I didn’t know anything about that, didn’t know it was possible and wouldn’t recognise the remnants if I had them handed to me. But now my curiosity means I have to google this to see exactly how it works. ---

This, except I’m going to not google it. Normally I google everything, BUT…I’m getting old. I’ve discovered I don’t need to know everything, and can, in fact, choose ignorance when it seems wise. I think I’ll treasure my relative innocence, hehe. 😛 But seriously, thanks for the heads-up. I do have a niece and nephew I have to keep an auntly eye on, and they already are on a bad path. If I notice stuff like this, I’ll know to get to ass-kicking, rather than think “Oh, the sun melted it, huh”. ---

Too slow to be able to edit. Ah well, I feel better, it’s damn near impossible to get pseudoephedrine tablets in Australia so this method of production just doesn’t happen which is why I never heard of it. ---

I haven’t heard about it either and I feel like I’m pretty up on stuff. Similarly, I stumbled upon mobile grow trucks and trailers the other day: > **[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/?app=desktop)** > > Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. I’m surprised at not only the sophistication of these things but the very open way they are marketed.
