The other day, I was examined the contents of the digestive tract of Giant isopod who died.
in individuals captured after the date has not passed, it does not eat food in the aquarium.
Stomach contents, you believed that you were eating in the food or the seabed in the trap at the time of capture.
Previously, there was a thing that was introduce another individual of the contents, inside also this individual digestive tract had been filled with undigested material.
Color is black, different impression until now.
Weight of stomach contents is 128.5g, because body weight was about 1000g, you pretty now that it was at once ate a large amount of food for the body weight.
In texture you whether referred to as a “massive”, “soggy” This time, such as the internal organs of something if from the color feel of the … squid?
Smell is stronger, but because it was unexpectedly pond likely feel it when I smell, I tried to make sure the taste is a little lick.
Not surprisingly unpleasant, here also certainly (such as, for example, Ayu visceral salted “Uruka”) taste like salted fish visceral.
Even I feel taste.
When you leave for a while and left at room temperature (22 ℃), so went more and more soluble in muddy, I felt that you are self-digestion. Do Will contains a large amount of enzyme.
After that, I was a survey of solid was strained with a net, but this time in as long as it was confirmed by eye scales of fish are not included at all, there was still many just squid beak.
Most but is small enough width 7mm, even things like pieces of a large squid beak is in.
This individual seems to have apparently eat squid.

This is out of the U.S. Naval Institute, but I’m still not buying it.
On 30 July 2017, as part of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), Chinese President Xi Jinping reviewed more than 12,000 soldiers, airmen, sailors, rocket, and strategic support troops at the Zhurihe military training base 250 miles northwest of Beijing. While most China “experts” focused on the unprecedented holding of a parade at a remote military base in Inner Mongolia or on the different kinds of military forces on display, this community once again missed the forest for the trees. From my vantage, the most important thing to happen at this event was Chinese President Xi Jinping’s declaration that the “PLA has the confidence and capability to defeat all invading enemies and safeguard China’s national sovereignty, security, and developmental interests” (emphasis mine).
In addition to declaring that the PLA has these capabilities, President Xi’s speech reasserts the notion that the People’s Republic of China has a timeline for the restoration of China to its former glory.
Meaning not only do they think the COULD invade Taiwan, they INTEND to invade Taiwan. By 2020 if not sooner.

To my mind that would be such a catastrophic disruption of the region, China wouldn’t try it.

I thought Alien, and that girl better watch out.
IMO there is a significant nationalist population in China that views once conquered as always conquered. I am not sure how many are in the high echelons of government.

I concur. These guys actually believe their own propaganda which makes them extremely dangerous. Having stated their aims and boasting of their capabilities they can’t ‘roll it back’ culturally as that would be a massive loss of face and threaten their very power structure in China.
Xi has painted himself into a self imposed corner culturally.

Hopefully Trump understands that there are ways to bitchslap the Chinese so that they can back down and save face at the same time.

Trump can drop Xi a quiet note in Chinese (a script that is most imprecise that translates to mean whatever floats your boat). A little attribute of Chinese script that I have become very knowledge about (alas) over the past 3 months of intense negotiations. Face is EVERYTHING in China and is only exceeded by ‘getting even’!

I must be missing something. Those are the same ones revealed last year. They were only interesting because they showed that Obama’s advisors were obsessed with diversity over qualifications and that he seemed to rely almost 100% on advisors and never had a suggestion or thought of his own.
Un-frigging believable! The Chinese bitch that has been the stick in the mud for over 3 months of business negotiations has FINALLY spat it out with a bit of truth. She admitted to a major manufacturer that she can’t do business with us because we are too truthful and can’t be corrupted therefore we disqualify ourselves from doing business in China. In fact the bitch said that she feared my business partner (who happens to be Chinese) and me because she thinks that we might report her to the authorities when she is carrying out criminal acts. The major manufacturer has offered to employ her as a (window woman) to look out the window and stay well away from actual business as a way of getting her co-operation….. and in 2 years her NZ residency qualification.
SPIT.
At month #23 1/2 I’ll shop her to NZ immigration and ruin her machinations and prevent her from getting her snout and trotters into the NZ welfare system trough. In the meantime the manufacturer will give my crew 10% commission for getting this deal set up in the first place. The last thing NZ needs is another corrupt Chinese bitch routing the system. Nice outcome. We get paid out 10% of the production cost for two years without having to do anything more. Suffering this BS for 3 months is more than enough!

@ Aussie Infidel:
china, well described.
@ eaglesoars:
last year’s al smith was the ultimate.
@ coldwarrior:
New thread. Chipping in as requested. You get what you axe for. 😀
@ Aussie Infidel:
Dealings with the Chinese is always an experience. My current employer declined to build a new factory there a few years ago and build it in South Korea instead to serve the Asian market.
Their known machinations and reputations proceed them well in advance.
