Slight correction, I believe the NYTimes printed Industrial Society and Its Future because Kaczynski told them he’d stop mailing bombs if they did. The FBI and Janet Reno (AG at the time) both pushed for it and its publication directly led to his brother recognizing the writing as Ted’s and his subsequent capture.

Yeah there’s nothing indicating he’s not just a complete moron who thinks magnets don’t work under water.
- Comment on U.S. Forest Service to Open Millions of Acres to Off-Road Vehicles, Memo Shows 2 weeks ago:
Slightly related, I frequently visit a large “Wilderness area” near where I live. It’s thousands of acres and I’ve been visiting my whole life, camping, hiking, hunting. In the last 5-10 years as more and more people get UTVs or “side by sides” it’s becoming more accessible to people who previously would’ve had to walk in or have a 4x4.
The damage they’re doing is extremely visible. There’s a rock cliff/hillside lookout you previously had to climb, it’s only about a 30 degree incline after you cross a big ditch so it’s not a particularly difficult climb but now that everyone has off road vehicles they’ve started to just drive up to the top and it’s clearly destroying the rock, wearing a path.
It’s infuriating I can visibly see the damage these vehicles are doing but everyone in them just sees it as a good wholesome time.

It can definitely kill you if you don’t take it seriously though.

Your comment made me go down a pretty fascinating rabbit hole, hypothetical types of biochemistry. You mentioned silicon, with something like ammonia or methane serving the role of water. Carl Sagan apparently considered Silicon and Germanium possible substitutes for carbon
The article also mentions non-green photosynthesis and that other colored plants could support photosynthesis and might even be preferred in places that receive a different mix of solar radiation than Earth. Science so is fucking cool.

Where I am CWD is starting to become an issue. So much so that they enforce mandatory testing during opening weekend. Prion diseases are terrifying and have put a damper on the gifting of meat sticks and backstrap sadly.

Sure, price fixing is a thing that happens all the time even though it’s illegal.
Why do you guys defend corporations? They’ve shown time and time and again they’re pure evil motivated only by profit. They don’t get the benefit of the doubt.

Nah it’s a thing, we’re making a conscious effort to not label human beings existence as “illegal.”

MSG only enhance umami and has a distinctly salty flavor. Try substituting a bay leaf for a fuller, richer flavor. You may want to remove the leaf before serving.

“Oh no I gave them a fully refundable $100 to pre-order it, guess I’m locked into giving this seig heiling, election interfering, pedophilic elite illegal immigrant $100k.”
There’s a bunch of defenders in this very thread.
- Comment on W for Uncle Ted 3 months ago:
That’s exactly what he was. He spent half of Industrial Society and Its Future railing against the left and arguing that it was a psychological phenomenon linked to a “need for power”.
He liked the environment, that was about the only “left” thing about him.
Yall need to do more research before you jump on a bandwagon.
