- Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 2 days ago:
Not sure really, but probably best to go an remove all your money now just in case! I bet hundreds of people are doing the same thing! /s
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 1 week ago:
As with many types of license, they usually only get checked when you’re caught misbehaving.
If you’re caught not picking up your dogs poo, you’re asked “have you got a licence for that dog”. At which point, if you say no, then you get another charge or two slapped on as well. If you lie and say yes you can get yet another charge slapped on for lying to law enforcement.
Its basically another layer of incentive to follow the law and get a license or the penalties may be higher as a result.
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 2 weeks ago:
Genuinely thought that said “anachronism” and was ready to go on a tirade about how cool cloaks are and how they should make a comeback

Same here honestly! Its not like I was going to use the body again. Worm food or cat food, its all alright by me!
- Comment on Not enough people buying Premium, eh? 1 month ago:
Companies don’t need to make infinite money. That’s just a weird incentive that modern corporations seem to be chasing and burning everything down around them to achieve.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 2 months ago:
Fucking moron. You’ll never hit a drone with that! The ruskies have been trying that for the last couple years with virtually zero success.

You jest but that’s literally already a thing that exists and you can buy it!

Yup! After all, everyone knows that trees make coal while dinosaurs make oil!

Again, there already is an easy way out. All that would change is the manner in which is happens and whether it happens professionally or not.

Leave them be, everyone goes through an experimental phase. They’re just working themselves out. Give them time.

Cheap vapes and gucchi knock offs apparently.
- Comment on At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height? 2 months ago:
Gravity surely?
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 months ago:
Because they’ve successfully been conned into thinking that what’s in the best interests of the rich is in their own best interests too.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 2 months ago:
That sounds like a warning to others lol. Don’t inbreed or we’ll feed you to the lions
- Comment on Premium Ads 3 months ago:
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.
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 3 months ago:
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
- Comment on Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why 3 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Honey 3 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 months ago:
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 4 months 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.

She lived almost 3 times the average life expectancy for her species!?! That’s genuinely insane! Imagine a human living to 180 years old!

The welsh are lovely! At least, I think they are, just wish I understood what they were trying to tell me.

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