- Comment on English has too many words for animals 3 weeks ago:
I recommend a targeted dive into Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae
Roughly halfway down, just above taxonomy, is a graphic of the clade. (True) hares are only in the genus Lepus, the rest may be called hares if they are big but that’s not taxonomy, just language.
- Comment on English has too many words for animals 3 weeks ago:
Technically this is nor taxonomy, since we aren’t talking about relatedness. This is just linguistics.
explanation
Land dwelling evolved multiple times in turtles, like in box turtles, which are not in the clade of tortoises, but would fit the common definition of tortoise.
- Comment on English has too many words for animals 3 weeks ago:
No real biologist, but no. They are 2 different, but closely related species - certainly closer than deer!
- Comment on Confirms to Marxist theories regarding the proletariat. 4 weeks ago:
Let me be an annoying pedant here and say that a huge number of media is made without profit incentives, we humans create a lot and share it for the fun of creating, be it free games, fan fiction or even music.
Sure I rarely consume such media for being a corporate slut, but you didn’t know that.
- Comment on Confirms to Marxist theories regarding the proletariat. 4 weeks ago:
All the best mdeia has already been made, hasn’t it? What’s new in the industry, Isekai? VR?
As long as I set a date in the past and stick to only consuming the media before that date, I don’t owe those weirdos any thanks, since they no longer contribute to the development of anything I watch.
So this is why I should be able to pirate snes roms, no idea what you are talking about.

Nah, it would be too much effort to shave and paint the nails every day.
I’d stuff another female leg just for the photos into my glove box.
- Comment on Space Honey 4 weeks ago:
I implied that I fell from the monkey bars, and since I was drinking through a straw, I fell head first onto my water glass with the straw in my mouth that was below me. A common misconception of metal straws is that they are dangerous and can pierce through the mouth into the brain.
I guess I could specify where the glass is in the experiment.
- Comment on Space Honey 4 weeks ago:
I think there was a science experiments book for kids that dared me to drink water upside down through a straw while hanging from monkey bars or something. It was meant to show how our body deliberately moves food towards the stomach instead of solely relying on gravity, but instead it showed that I my legs were too weak.
A shame these experiments are deemed to dangerous nowadays and people have to show their ignorance online, simply because the new metal straws have pierced the brains of anyone who did them.

- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 2 months ago:
Don’t we already have a similar thing with regional pricing?
Video games (and pretty much everything else) are sold for less in countries where the local currency is “weaker”, to maximize the profits in each market. Selling Slay the Spire for ₱779.00 Philippine Peso means they get this brand new game for half the price Europeans pay for it, only difference to most other goods is that it literally is the same product.
This is justified by claiming gaming is for everyone, it would be unfair to price out entire regions simply because the average worker earns less US $ over there.
Does this not apply within countries, too? Wouldn’t it be fairer if they sold games for less in Kansas compared to New York? I get that we do not trust game publishers with this new tool, and fear they just want to get the most money out of us, but then we also need to make the same fuss about how they use the old tool to do the same thing. I for one am closer to the Japanese median income, can I pay their prices then?

Of course, doesn’t work as well in online forums.

I think the point is that she’s just a normal women, sharing uncontroversial articles. And there is this other half of the couple you just wonder about how someone could possibly see something in let alone put up with him.
I’m personally reminded of the parents of a childhood acquaintance, with a nice mom and a father that couldn’t even be asked to close the bathroom door when guest were there.

- Comment on The Nebraska legislature has approved a bill that lowers the minimum wage from $15 an hour to $13.50 an hour for teen workers 2 months ago:
Wtf, only 30% of the minimum wage for being 15? What exactly is the company supposed to do with the other 70% to justify that?
- Comment on This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ? 2 months ago:
The article states that the “Intelligent Speed Assistance devices” are supposed to prevent drivers from driving more than 5 mph over the speed limit. So I’m fairly certain GPS and/or Road Sign Information systems will be used.
- Comment on This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ? 2 months ago:
GPS Data. Most dedicated navigation systems have the speed limit data in their maps for the last decade or so. They’re probably also going to add the Road sign information systems that newer cars have.
- Comment on This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ? 2 months ago:
And a car that cannot speed can? You might not have thought that one through.

- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 3 months ago:
Although commonly called “Morgenstern” in German, they’re technically called “(Streit-)Flegel”, so “flail” in both English and German.
“Morning star”/“Morgenstern” refers to a spiky ball on a club without any chain.

75 bees actually, 3 rounds of stinging.
A sting from a honey bee is familiar to many because of its world-wide distribution. The sting can be reliably provoked, and standardized, making it an ideal experimental stimulus. Furthermore, its rating as the center point of the Schmidt pain scale suggests it may be a useful standard. The present study therefore used honey bee stings to determine whether sting location impacts painfulness, and how painfulness varies by location.
Reads as: honey bees are cheap to acquire and I ain’t letting no hornet sting my private parts.
- Comment on Everyone's got a fetish, I guess. 5 months ago:
Inspired by the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, Michael L. Smith did us all a favour and answered the obvious follow up question on which body parts hurt the most when stung. He had honey bee guards sting him in 25 locations, multiple times to account for variability, over 38 days.
Results:
The three least painful locations were the skull, middle toe tip, and upper arm (all scoring a 2.3). The three most painful locations were the nostril, upper lip, and penis shaft (9.0, 8.7, and 7.3, respectively).
He and Schmidt were awarded with a shared Ig Noble Price for their efforts.

Because it’s hens and cows that are farmed for their products, veganism is a feminist issue.
Feminism is notoriously concerned with chromosomes rather than personhood. /s
