Be careful with bins, I hear they are/were bugged. I never allow bins lately just in case.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

BTW, I'd never use training weapons for military. Dorfs can become attached to weapons and never put them down without a hissy fit. If your axelord won't put down that artifact steel axe? Who cares. But when you realize your swordmaster named so e dinky PoS "Marceline" and attacks anyone that tries to take "her?" Eh.... You can still take the item away, but it causes massive u happiness iirc.
Dwarves don't care if they have to drop "Marceline". They'll keep hold of their favourite weapons until you change their uniform to exclude that weapon, and then they'll put it down to conform to the new uniform. Then you can get rid of the named weapon, just in case the uniform changes to allow it again. There are no unhappy thoughts about it.

I don't use training weapons either. Dwarves play nicely with whatever they're holding, so sharp weapons are fine.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
