It wasn't an unfair bias: men are better than women, e.g. a man was stronger than me and threw me on a mat with such an impact that today I had to rely on another man to feed my cats and clean their litter box.
That was not a real judoka, then. 

I recommend this club.

What did that bunny think?! That he was an amphibian?

Actually, I'm considering staying immobile for a few more days... ;-)

If you get a tattoo, you won't be allowed in Japanese onsens. My favourite one is in the Snow Monkey Park in Nagano. Sometimes the monkeys come to bath with you in hot springs. They are the only ones for whom the nudity is not mandatory.

The shoreline of that pond looked very steep and if the bunny was wandering and fell in - couldn't climb out.

No tats for me - but I don't mind them on others. Some of my sister's friends have very elaborate ones (and/or lots of them).

I also would not think about swimming with monkeys (let the species bathe separately!), but I would recommend a good long soak with some bath salts for muscle soreness.

Enjoy your evening and don't watch too much TV.  ;)

I once considered tattooing someone's name on my skin. I dodged the ink gun, because as it turned out nothing lasts forever. Sorry, it's paracetamol talking :-)

I did consider doing something like this for a few years, actually, but I have remained uninscribed.  

Thus, I am a blank page.

I've noticed that the ML algorithm liked to focus on destroying probes (harmless Protoss mining unit) instead of the war units. Does anyone need a better proof that it was trained for the Middle East wars to kill Syrian and other mothers and children?

I hope to go to Galway this year with my recent cybersecurity project and take my collaborator (the secret agent writer friend) with me. We have to try their grill!

When I was doing those fat-lady-undies gigs the requirement was no body marks or tattoos. It made me perceive tattoos (on any gender) as something unsightly.

There is an old joke where the punchline goes: “I’ll have a burger, please, and a vegan for my alligator”.
