It is. No glass, they just take the lid off when they want to look inside, and it’s a flexible material . The thing on top of the cow here is the lid. Search Fistulated Cow for more info.

I don’t have one I just love that this structure is called a melon. 🍉
The melon is a mass of adipose tissue found in the foreheads of all toothed whales.[1][2] It focuses and modulates the animal’s vocalizations and acts as a sound lens. It is thus a key organ involved in communication and echolocation.

Like those cows with the portal in their side that they bring around to elementary schools to show kids how chambered stomachs work! (Just now realizing this might not be a universal experience and may have had to do with my elementary school’s proximity to UC Davis (Agriculturally focused college).

These ones were much better. I still don’t understand the physics of how wiggling the handlebars back and forth made them go forward, but it felt like magic at the time. Much less finger pinching and no Charlie horsing your groin trying to crab walk with wheels under your butt like the other ones.

Yes, I was referring to the phenomenon where us old people (Millennials) perpetually think that the 70s were 30 years ago.

It’s always the grossest old men who are like “I just don’t want to imagine two men fucking, It grosses me out.” Like buddy… do you think I want to imagine your fat saggy self sweating and grunting away, regardless of partner choice? No, no I do not. So I don’t. It’s not that hard.

About a century, actually. Marketing began in the US after WWII when we suddenly had the ability to create more products than people needed. People needed to be convinced to buy shit they didn’t need, and thus marketing was invented.
The first notable marketing campaign was cigarettes for ladies in 1929. Cigarette companies were missing a whole section of consumers because women weren’t supposed to smoke, especially in public. A group of beautiful young models were hired to smoke cigarettes at a big important parade that was going to get lots of coverage in the newspaper. A reporter was paid to “report” on their “carefree” and “liberated” manner as they smoked “torches of freedom” out at the festivities. Equality, feminism, yay!
Associating male virility with vehicle choice was next. Both were brain children of Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, who was very interested in his uncle’s ideas about people’s actions being influenced by their subconscious mind, before it was popular in America.

What country are you in? If USA, you must be able to fill out an I-9. It’s pretty cut and dry. If there is a recruiter involved, they are required to have the potential employee complete one before they refer them.

The root chakra (just above your taint) is generally associated with the color red. Heart chakra is associated with green.
Meditation is such a broad description, anything from a moment of focused attention to sitting for hours muttering a mantra.
I haven’t heard anyone talk of “growing” chakras, and I’m very much in that world, they aren’t like muscles. You would grow your awareness of your chakras.
If you consider taking a moment to be aware of the sensations, emotions and images in the center of your chest to be “meditation,” I’m not sure how you could accomplish your goal. Otherwise… do that.
I like to take a moment when I see something particularly beautiful- sun sparkling on water, sunsets/sunrises, a striking vista, the moon on a clear night, and “breathe” it into my heart chakra.
