No, fuck the people that take the founding fathers as infallible - when it suits their argument. The FF did what they did, and at the time it was groundbreaking, but they didn’t count on populist stupidity taking what they wrote and amplifying the worst parts of it ad nauseam.

Wallace and Gromit episode - except with a cow.

Look like little Jim Henson monsters.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

I feel really bad for the guys that defect like this. There have been a few stories of defectors being traded back to Russian forces in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners. The defectors were killed and made an example of. Sucks, because if you don’t want to fight the war you have few options, and none of them good.

All the countries with space programs have people in some form of dire strait. Starving, homeless, lack of medical care… Are you saying achievements like this aren’t allowed to take place at all until every problem is taken care of? I can assure you that at no point in civilization has there been times where someone wasn’t in a bad spot while society moved forward. Yeah, India has some big problems, and huge wealth disparity is a problem that many places face alongside India, but you can’t shut down progress because all the other problems can’t be solved.

Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.

They’re selling the views. If they can’t show the house, it’s a dump.

To add on - the feed we give cattle exacerbates methane production in their gut.

Cattle fed high-grain, low-forage diets produce 42% more methane than those fed-low grain, high-forage diets (Boadi et al.,2004). Methane (CH4) is composed of carbon and hydrogen. The formulation of diet influences the carbon: nitrogen ratio of manure, which impacts the amount of methane released. Diets high in grain have higher levels of readily fermentable carbohydrates, which create methane to be released into the atmosphere. Grain type can also change the amount of methane emissions. During the finishing phase, cows fed a corn-based diet released less methane than cows fed a barley-based diet (Beauchemin and McGinn, 2005).

So there is nothing “natural” about the excess methane produced by cattle because if they were naturally foraging the amount produced is lower.

Just goes to show you that any system can be subverted, however, in the capitalist system the subversion is often profitable with minimal consequences for the recipients of the profits. Yay, capitalism (/s).

The problem is you’d have to tear up a shitton of infrastructure to do it because built-up areas have no room to extend road widths safely to accommodate bike lanes. The driver behind that problem (pun intended) is the car culture and lack of public transportation. They can’t get rid of car lanes to hand them over to walking/biking dedicated areas because there’s too many cars and people that rely upon them to get around. There would never be enough people that would vote for or support such a project. Rural areas DGAF and are too poor to build bicycle infrastructure.

It’s not that we can’T be bothered, it’s the usual problem of Americans not wanting to pay for anything that they don’t use themselves or that might inconvenience them even though it’s good to get cars off the roads and keep people safe.

Not worried about being dead, really. I didn’t exist for millennia, I got my time in the sun, I won’t exist for the rest of time. It hasn’t bothered me.

Dying on the other hand sounds like a painful, grief-ridden, stress filled misery. I really don’t want to have anything to do with a drawn-out death. That’s what bothers me.

Enjoyed this movie far more than I thought I would. Her character by far is the best written and CGM does a great job voicing her. Really steals the show. Weakest part of it is the beginning that falls to the trope of “if the main character was simply able to form a complete sentence we probably would have a much shorter film”.

They don’t “need” that much space. It’s ridiculous, a waste, and absolutely done to make you see a “big bag” and buy it over a competitor’s bag. It’s marketing.
