Goats have a goatee, goat-feet, a perceptible smell, horns, and sound like an evil laugh. Also, they have a nasty habit of taking people by surprise in places no sane people would imagine a large animal could be.

The board of directors removes the obvious corruption argument.
Hum… Not exactly, but it does shift the burden.

Every 11 years or so, they go away.

I always wondered if the toxin didn’t kill the bacteria.
- Comment on God is a dick. 1 week ago:
Hum, no. It’s widely believed that the amount of matter + energy in the universe changes all the time.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 week ago:
Seems like you are from the US.
As much as “left” and “right” carry any meaning anywhere, in your country those words have been redefined to the point they are completely meaningless.
If you have any left-leaning organized political movement, it never makes the news. You only have extreme right.

Yes, the ability to see very far away does imply in very large eyes if you define “see” by properly focusing on the objects. But not large pupils, what matters is the size of the eyes lenses, on the bare front of them.
But no, he could be able to perceive those stuff without the larger eyes if he had a good mental model of how the horsemen interfere with the background (what is probably easier than it seems, because would be moving), and how their hair would interfere with the previous outline.

Frequency-dependent connectors could work, but would be seriously counter-intuitive to work with.
- Comment on LC vibe check 1 week ago:
On gold connectors… Are you afraid your signal will reflect back into the antenna? Do people really do that?
But yeah, also you can make sure it resonates on the correct frequency by mechanically adjusting it and looking for the feedback.
- Comment on Make gravity your bitch 1 week ago:
Yes, it’s the obvious extension from what we have now, and quite coherent for explaining some universe that isn’t the one we live in.
It just shouldn’t have monopolized theoretical physics for a generation. It’s really hard to imagine something different, but this is even more reason to celebrate the people trying that, not to shun then and focus on what you already have.

Oh, a song from the time superstrings were still cool?

Or machine learning. Pick your poison.
Or be like Chomsky and despise both while you secretly create papers on those areas.
- Comment on Will the tariffs lead to a recession? 2 weeks ago:
No, they are too late for that.
They could if Trump picked another other to implement his policies.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, as you said, they aren’t a new concept. We have plenty of evidence, of countries that tried that again and again. We know what he is doing is stupid.
Besides, your theory on tariffs won’t even get to be tested. Kidnapping people at random on the street and sending them to concentration camps has an overwhelmingly larger impact on the economy than the tariffs. People from outside of the US will only focus at this if you start to invade other countries, but at this point, nobody inside the US should be concerned with tariffs, at all.

The mosquito thing is known to be false, and people only every talk about extinguishing half a dozen species of them at most, that are invasive on most parts.
- Comment on It's the law! 2 weeks ago:
There’s classics like measuring how long it takes to send a network packet from one device to another
That one is on your clocks quality, not on physics. People do it all the time.
Probably on equipment that is orders of magnitude more expensive than yours, but the post isn’t about costs.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 weeks ago:
I see. So you are ready to try the “increase all costs” route now…

Some hugely detailed and really certain knowledge from neurology…
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 3 weeks ago:
They tell you stuff similar to the training corpus that the people tagging it want to hear.
It’s close to what you said, but the difference is actually important some times. In particular this one seems to not have been exposed to “corporate speech” while training.
- Comment on Blood for the Line God! 3 weeks ago:
He surely needs a passport. Where did you get the idea he doesn’t? Also, landing from outside a country or international block directly into a private airstrip is a big “no” on most of the world, and will land you in jail in a few places. He doesn’t get an exception for that.
He also will continue to be able to own property around the world, and people will keep accepting his money. That’s completely different from him managing to just run into a country, peacefully living there, and being able to mess with such country’s society.
- Comment on Blood for the Line God! 3 weeks ago:
The US wealthy are now international wealthy and borders no longer matter to them.
That used to be the case until last year…
But I don’t think it is still true.

Hum… Splitting Helium consumes energy, maybe you should try Radom.
- Comment on Dig this trench to protect your landlord's ability to gouge your decendants. 3 weeks ago:
They think that once all the capital is destroyed, they’ll get to live like kings by taking the full value of their work.
And they won’t accept to learn their work is only that valuable because of that capital.
- Comment on Caption this. 4 weeks ago:
The males won’t pass the mutation to their children, enforcing that it will disappear in 5 or 6 generations… So, if it does anything, it will last for a couple of months at most.
But also, it doesn’t slow down the females at all, and the male mosquito population isn’t usually the bottleneck on their reproduction.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 4 weeks ago:
If you are expecting consistency from something like this, you should try getting involved in local politics at least once.
Whatever way you imagine for deciding it, the answer is yes, they do that.
Do they gesstimate? Yes!
Do they hire engineers to guesstimate? Yes!
Do they concede to popular pressure? Yes!
Do they concede to money pressure? Yes!
Do they use the placement to guide the city’s evolution? Yes!

I don’t think this is useful. Looks like an explanation about why deaf mosquitoes aren’t common.

The pipes are usually made of PVC. Several other components are still often made of ABS.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
That’s literally the patio of a commercial place that sells food enclosed in trash.
If they rely on volunteers to clean the trash, a lot of people are doing lots of things very wrong.

Plant whatever everybody around this area is planting and ASAP. He can think about what to do next year, but not this one.
