  Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

  So then it’s not worse?

  If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.

  It is definitely an awesome looking critter though

  This isn’t true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoatzin

  … Since Archaeopteryx had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing. Modern researchers, however, hypothesize that the young hoatzin’s claws are of more recent origin… A similar trait is seen in turacos, whose nestlings use claws on their wings to climb in trees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2010, simply because of how english works.

  If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.

  “Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since cats don't pant like dogs how do they release trapped heat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Through their paws for one, and when they lick their coats, the saliva acts like sweat and cools them down as it evaporates. And if it’s really bad, they pant.

  And in the 100-130k range, you’re looking at a lot of IT/tech folk.

  • Pay for luxury service
  • Service gets more expensive
  • Keep paying for service
  • Service gets more expensive
  • Complain about cost, goto 1

  It’s hard to have pity for people who do this, especially if enough people stopped, the service would get cheaper.
