I wonder what would happen if we transplanted some penguins from Antarctica to the arctic. Would they survive?
Maybe some of the more endangered ones could live and thrive up there, and then become a second food source for the polar bears so they don’t starve now that there isn’t as much ice to hunt seals on.
It’s not like there much of an ecosystem up there that an invasive species can fuck up like the toads down in Australia.

A better device would simply be a switch on the wall to press an emergency button. Very little technology required or security patching.

Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.
If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.

Why is 15% considered cheap when 15 years ago it was perfectly acceptable? A percentage is a percentage. Yes, cost of living has gone up but that includes food prices which means tips go up as a result automatically, hence the example I provided.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 day ago:
I don’t care what people think, I’m still doing 10% for okay, 15% for good, and 20% for great.
It’s not my job to give servers a raise. The food prices have already exploded, they are already getting more in tips just because the base cost went up
My $10 meal and 15% tip ($1.50) is now a $15 meal with a 15% tip ($2.25) which would have been a 22.5% at previous prices. They already come out ahead in that scenario without tip percentages increasing.

What was it about this one kid the lady chose to single him out?!or was she also assaulting other children?
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 1 week ago:
Eh, it’s unique but I don’t think that should give Sony the right to use the exclusively (looking at you Nintendo and Pokemon)
You could have the exact same game but with flashy dinosaurs and all of a sudden it’s not a problem? And then a third company can come out with another copy with fleshy dinosaurs and there’s no issue because fleshy dinosaurs aren’t unique.

If you never sell it’s a 100% loss since you can never use that money for anything ever.
- Comment on I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I already left Reddit because (one of the reasons) they wouldnt let you open NSFW content without downloading their app on mobile. Having to submit ID is just way too ridiculous.

- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 4 weeks ago:
I had to drive a new Toyota Tacoma for a biology job. I needed to drive it in “offroad” conditions, which means there was grass over 12" in height (farm field).
It would automatically slam on the brakes and scare the shit out of me every time I tried to reverse and it thought the grass was something I was going to hit.
Drove me absolutely insane.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 4 weeks ago:
And honestly, the vehicle engineers are partly to blame for this in my opinion. Are you telling me there are no sensors in the car to let you know if there is a person in the seat so that their stupid little seatbelt not fasten chimes can ring? If they can tell that there’s a person inside, or that there is still a seatbelt buckled, DON’T TURN THE AC OFF AUTOMATICALLY
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 4 weeks ago:
I do not condon leaving children alone in a vehicle for ANY amount of time…
But I also absolutely despise vehicle manufacturers thinking their unnecessary “features” are in any way needed at all, especially in a form which cannot be disabled or needs to be disabled after each time the vehicle turns off and then on.
Fucking hate vehicle manufacturer engineers. Probably one of the least needed jobs out there.
VEHICLES ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED, STOP ADDING SHIT EVERY YEAR JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING SHIT.

I’m not going to read something if the title doesn’t interest me. It’s also a great example of write headlines that are accurate and informative.

Everyone was calling it “stop killing games” instead of “stop destroying games” and I literally thought it was a petition to stop games with murder and violence lol never even got farther than seeing the title.
Definitely a good idea to switch over to stop destroying games if that wasn’t the official title already…
