Bees and wasps will eventually die if they’re moved away from their hives, but flies have relatively short lives, so they don’t waste their time with settling down.

This works because the person who is supposed to remind me of the task has a to-do list that takes about two years to go through. By the time she gets to reminding me it’s already irrelevant.

I welcome their research into this, but I don’t share their optimism about it making it’s way to consumers vehicles. There’s no way we can produce enough biofuel to cover the consumption, and carbon capture for fuel doesn’t make sense when we can already use the electric energy more efficiently directly.

Trump has used this tactic long before he was known in public. His art-of-the-deal is basically to throw feces everywhere to confuse the opponents until they walk away.

He did say Americans, but anyway it’s a valid question for other countries too.
In Denmark we just introduced the draft for women too. I’m not sure what my girls are going to choose when they get old enough. We do have to the option to deny it simply by claiming to be pacifist, so I’m not worried, just curious on what they’ll choose.

Some people and especially old people have a lot of experience in not doing anything. They like to reaffirm their decision.
If he suddenly changed his mind, he’d also have to acknowledge that he had lived most of his life with a narrow mind in all the situations where he chose not to take a chance. It’s the sunken cost fallacy.
It’s not just old people. It happens all the time in all kinds of ways when someone doesn’t want to rigorously investigate their options in a situation and simply go with what they already have. They’ll make up excuses for their (lack of) choice afterwards. It could be chosing a restaurant, buying a car, settling in a certain neighborhood or anything really.

Yes, it’s probably good fun, but he just made an excellent example of how “gun safety” is often thrown around as an oxymoron by people who don’t actually practice actual gun safety.
In my ears it sounds like “I’m a good driver when I’m drunk”.

Yes, I am looking at you weirdly.

The primary function of most umbrellas is marketing.
If you want an umbrella that works better on (slightly) windy days you’re going to want one with a dome that covers further down over your head and is transparent, so you can see through it. These don’t break as easily in the wind, but of course any umbrella works like a sail.

Sons of Anarchy. There’s a season ender where some Irish bloke kidnaps a child and sails away. They had to make an entire season in Ireland because these knobheads of criminal but also mechanics can’t figure out to follow the kidnapper on water, even of they’re standing on a pier with hundreds of boats.
- Comment on Looks fine to me 3 weeks ago:
Yeah there’s too much stuff to restore.
Every time anyone wants to do anything new in my city, there’s a choir of old people moaning about the removal of old stuff.
Seriously… if they want to keep that shit, put it in a museum. We don’t need your old railways in the center of the city for memorials. We don’t use them. You don’t use them. They haven’t been used for 70 years. The same kind of shit is present in each and every city throughout Europe. It has no preservation value. We can remember your great grand uncle’s achievement in other ways. Take a photo and look at it as fondly as much as you want.
It’s apparently wildly surprising that humans were all over Europe thousands of years ago. Come on. They had feet, of course they shat in the shrubbery where we live. We do not have to preserve all of it.
I surely don’t hope future generations dig out the shit I’ve posted online.
When they invented LIDAR scanning and flew over Germany, they found a lot of old stuff in the dense forests that had never even been investigated. It was silently decided not to even attempt to dig all that shit out. Good call Germany. We don’t need any more stone axeheads in the museum. They’re not that different, and I don’t care if you can trace your lineage to the man who made it. We’re not keeping that rock.
People should have a right to be forgotten.
Ötzi never asked to be dug up. People made stories about how he died of cold. Other people say it was sacrificial. The latest I’ve read was that he a tumor in the ass.
Have some decency. Leave that shit alone. The wearing of time is prettier than restoration anyway. It’s a solid reminder. Restoration of artifacts is like botox to a 70 years old… you’re gonna look like shit either way.

You have to consider: Do you actually want to meet a young woman who hangs out in bars, restaurants and airports? Spend all night talking about her Gucci bag from Dubai or some shit?
If those are the options you have, I’d choose the old married lesbian any day.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not going to rule out the possibility of something existing that we don’t know of yet.
However, if we’re supposed to look for anything in any way, we first need to know what we’re looking for. So, what’s a ghost? Is a a soul, and if so, what’s a soul?
I think that’s an interesting question with or without ghost.
People who believe in souls, should attempt to explain what a soul is and how they experience their existence. Is it an emergent feature of the electrons or brainwaves that can travel in other dimensions that our normal physics can’t detect or something completely unknown?
People who have experiences with ghosts and souls should be investigated. How do they detect their observations? Are they somehow able to sense things that happen in other dimensions? That’d be really cool, and I still won’t rule it out. The human mind can do weird stuff. For instance echo localization like bats do, seeing more colours than normal or even just perfect pitch. Stuff like that is provable and shows that our senses can be expanded by training. Perhaps we even have dormant senses like seeing magnetic fields like birds do.
So let’s say some people can see ghosts but we just can’t measure it currently, because we don’t know how it works. We can still make an experiment where we compare the observations from these special skills and see if they align. If it turns out that the people who can see ghosts agree, then we should definitely investigate it further and find out what happens in their heads when they see ghosts. Where does the brain impulses come from? That’ll teach us about the special sense, which could then prove the existence of ghosts.
I doubt their observations match up in a controlled environment. It’s a shame because it would be really easy to prove the existence of ghosts.
