Bestial Human Salamander
Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman
Bestial human salamanders are patient carnivores and are fully amphibious, able to breathe water or air, and can withstand twice as much cold as a normal human even without protective gear or clothing. They are also excellent swimmers (12m) thanks to their short, paddle-like hands and feet. Unfortunately, they face drying out in hot climates, suffering 1d4 damage per hour when exposed to the likes of desert conditions without proper covering and constant moisture.

A Pitcher Plant’s Rain-Triggered Trap
Pitcher plants all use slippery rims and sticky digestive juices to capture and trap their insect prey. But two species of pitcher plant independently evolved an extra trap: a rain-activated springboard lid. Both the Seychelles pitcher plant and the slender pitcher plant — separated geographically by 6000 kilometers — have a springy, near-horizontal “lid” that sticks out over their pitcher. The underside of the surface is slippery, though less so than the pitcher’s lip and walls. Unsuspecting ants crawl under the lid, confident that they can keep their footing, and then — bang — a rain drop hits the springboard. That impact catapults the insect directly into the drink. There’s no escaping now.
How did two widely separated, independently evolving plants both settle on this technique? Scientists think it was random chance. Pitcher plants are highly variable in their pitcher size, shape, and features. The scientists suggest that by trying lots of random combinations, these two species hit upon a particular arrangement that works really well for them. (Video and image credit: Science)
We live next to a hairpin in our street - yes, the Netherlands has some hilly slopes. It's cold now, around freezing. Yesterday, when having dinner, we heard this strange grating sound outside. A food delivery boy apparently slipped and fell. He said he was allright and continued.
This morning, again we heard some rattling noises. This time, it was one of the kids living across the street. He looked much more agonized when he walked back home.
A bit slippery out there…
Be careful driving Tuesday!

Euthanasia often creates a slippery slope, where the definition of "suffering" becomes subjective. This can lead to vulnerable individuals feeling pressured to end their lives. #slippery slope
Interestingly enough, after Joseph was tried for using his seer stone while digging for treasure and being found a fraud, he allegedly found the gold plates with his seer stone, and translated then with his seer stone. The text of the Book of Mormon includes multiple references to this concept of slippery treasures. It seems Joseph could have easily written in this as validation to his digging for treasure.

You would seem to be more confident than I in your belief that "some political violence is okay" would not escalate, to the detriment of all.
