Lol it’s almost like an extreme sport. You’re clinging for dear life to the edge of tide pool rocks where they meet the surf, working in the time between the waves swamping you, and trying to dig the urchins out of the sockets in the rock that they’ve eaten themselves into. Highly recommended. You do need a fishing license though.

Uni forager here— hate to burst your bubble but the uni that you can get in restaurants is red urchin, not purple urchin. Purple urchin is the invasive species that is destroying kelp forests and eating away the coastal rock. It is much smaller than red urchin, which is a highly-sought-after and overfished find that is exported worldwide from San Diego. Red urchin has a more briny flavor and the gonads are far larger, whereas purple urchin has a really creamy (better) flavor. Unfortunately its gonads are so small that they are an enormous pain to clean, so sushi restaurant don’t use them.

Every time I go purple urchin foraging, I wind up getting home to clean them at like 6PM and eating at like 10 or later.

And their ongoing fame and fortune is more or less entirely unaffected by the fallout said lyrics may create. It’s such a part of their brand that the controversy drives music sales for them.

Hol up, are you really asking people to provide evidence for misogynistic lyrics in rap? Because if you are, you gonna have to take a good long look in the mirror and learn to be honest with yourself.

Unless, of course, your only exposure to rap is Lin-Manuel Miranda?

Reply to Family Dynamics and Doctors' Emotions Drive Useless End-of-Life Care. Surveys repeatedly indicate that nearly all people would rather die peacefully at home, yet painful, long-shot treatments remain common, and efforts to reduce usage have failed by Wagamaga

Think about it this way: If people hadn’t gone for yesterday’s long-shot treatments, today’s standard treatments for geriatric illnesses would not have become the known-safe standards they are today. We owe it to future generations to continue to try long-shot medical treatments.

None of the 1,781 passengers were killed by the explosion, but other Japanese ships refused to rescue them, resulting in only 9 survivors. by Jupitair

He’s talking about how every time you critique something online that a Japanese person is doing, people come out of the woodwork to go “Oh, but they’re japanese, they obviously took that into account because of their culture,”

For example, food health and safety and those Nagashi Somen rivers.

You also say that Michael Schumacher builds and maintains his own F1 car? Don’t gloss over all hard work being done to support your favorite celebrities. It’s offensive to the enormous teams behind them to give the famous people onstage all of the credit.
