That sounds like a warning to others lol. Don’t inbreed or we’ll feed you to the lions

Less is sometimes more honestly. Its likely you’ve got so much running that they’re fighting each other. See if you’ve got overlapping features and remove as many as possible while still keeping the same functionality.

Most cafes aren’t open at 3am when I get off a dreadful shift and just want to wolf something down before collapsing into bed for 10 hours.

It only took a couple billion monkeys a few million years but one did eventually write out the full works of Shakespeare

Leave a bowl out with a sign that says “if the bowl is empty, please knock.” You don’t even have to fill the bowl with anything.

Because you mentioned killing off entire hives because they’re sick, I was wondering about what a vegans ethical stance on culling would be and what, if any, situations culls might be acceptable from a vegans perspective.
For example, the beehive which has been infected. Bees don’t understand virology or social isolation or even the concept of “passing it on”. What do you do when a hive of infected bees breaks up and starts infecting other hives? Desieses can be devastating to local domesticated and wild swarms if left unchecked. Would a cull be acceptable in this situation to prevent more death and suffering?
How about in areas where humans have already tinkered with the food chain and wiped out all other apex predators? In some places, controlled culling of heards of deer is necessary to prevent them from overfeeding and wiping out other species further down the food chain and eventually themselves?
As I understand, most vegans would prefer the natural solutions such as reintroducing apex predators but that’s not always possible. Likewise, I don’t think most vegans would advocate for a dawinist solution to infected beehives.
I’m purely asking this from a point of genuine interest and not out of any desire to be proven right or wrong so please don’t take this as any attempt at point scoring.

The better question is why were they using the car port? Most dashcams come with power adapters to plug into a standard fuse box and can be very easily routed through interior panels with basically no tools, no permanent modifications, and absolutely no expertise required.

Iterative development like that isn’t uncommon in engineering as a whole. Simulation can get you a long way but there’s a hard limit to that. You don’t think spacex designed a starship to use without running extensive simulations to try and figure it out before hand right?
Sometimes you need to test in the field just to find out what bits you missed. Structural engineers will simulate and calculate extensively but they’ll still build scale models and test pieces because it’s the most reliable and effective way to ensure you’re covering as many bases as possible.
Its not an either/or situation here. They’re doing the testing and simulation and applying it IRL to find out where things break.

Tiny-whoop more reffers to a class of drones rather than any specific drone. They’re small enough to be flown around indoors and typically weigh in at under 25g TOM. I guess you could use one for surveillance or scoping out a building in the field but defo not for combat lol
- Comment on Anon doesn't like the new meta 5 weeks ago:
I’ve flown a number of drones and the best drone I’ve flown that clocks in under £100 is a tiny-whoop and they’re absolutely not fit for combat lol.

Because the potential cost to them doesn’t out weigh the benefits they get from adhering to the ICC regulations.

Sorry to be pedantic but its actually STEAM now that Arson is considered hot girl shit.
- Comment on I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter. 3 months ago:
Because now, anyone can do it to anyone with zero effort and a single photo.
Sure, before anyone with decent Photoshop skills could put together a halfway decently convincing fake nude but its still significantly more effort and time than most would be bothered with and even then its fairly easy to spot and dispute a fake.
Most people weren’t concerned if a celebrity’s fake nudes were spread around before but now that a colleague, student, family member, or even a random member of the public could generate a convincing photo the threat has become far more real and far more conceivable

The human race is often thought of as communicating primarily on a vocal basis. however, they also possess an extremely complex and sophisticated language based on gestures. For example, the simple gesture of raising the index and middle finger with the palm inwards conveys the complete sentence: “fuck you Frenchie, I still have all my fingers”

The fallacy fallacy
Just because an argument contains a logical fallacy doesn’t mean the argument is necessarily incorrect.
An example:
Person A: This food is better for you because it’s all natural
Person B: appeal to nature, therefore you’re wrong and it’s not better for you
The food may well be much better for you but person B has assumed that the opposite is true because person A has used a logical fallacy and has themselves fallen into a logical fallacy.

I just click one square thats wrong then unclick it. Seems to work almost every time!
- Comment on How do CAPTCHAs work without giving you a challenge task? 8 months ago:
Slight tangent, but if you want to pass the “click on all the images with traffic lights” first time, select one that’s obviously wrong then go back and “change your mind” computers don’t do that and 9/10 times it’ll pass you first time!
