That tree was healthy and and a very important cultural specimen.
Just because construction workers raze builings on a daily basis does not mean they should nilly willy bulldoze Manchester Cathredal for lulz in a nighttime flashmob.

Then make space. Start at the upper end until there is space enough.

Like organ donation

Of course this is nonwithstanding other environmental crimes should be prosecuted, just as hard.
- Comment on Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years 1 week ago:
Definitely not harsh enough. They should have gotten AT LEAST 12 years each. And even that could never make up the damage they have done. 12 is too mild, 4 entirely laughable.

What a coincidence as I just watched this from one of my favourite youtubers:
TheYamiks - The Failure of Game Graphics (35:29)
Where he reflects on how the graphics of current games came to be technically and why they are so terrible as they are.

Bullshit. Just last month I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.

Care to explain?
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 5 months ago:
Yes. Because we live in a setting of specialists.
I am no specialist in efficiently growing healthy food. So if I try it, it will be objectively worse than if someone else does it for me. And if that one is worse in doing something I am better we both are off worse and everything overall. So if we both would do things we are good at the resulting product/service would be better, it would be more efficient (time, ressources, waste), which benefits all participant and the environment at the same time.

What? How can my comment possibly be voted down?

You should shop by ingrediends and ecological reasons. That’s sadly not represented by $/g

Scientists being theorists and not based in reality after all.
Engineers knowing it is necessary to ensure safety because “+” could mean something else in just this situation noone (especially scietists) thought about.

From Wikipedia:
In a 2021 study published in the journal Plant Signaling & Behavior, Felipe Yamashita and Jacob White claimed that B. trifoliata may employ a primitive form of vision to identify and mimic their hosts. This hypothesis is based upon 1905 and 1907 claims by Gottlieb Haberlandt and Francis Darwin, respectively, that some plants use ‘ocelli’ or lens-like cells to focus light onto other light sensitive cells. In this study, B. trifoliata was observed mimicking the leaf shapes of plastic plants, and researchers refined Haberlandt and Darwin’s ocelli hypothesis, claiming that B. trifoliata may be using convex shaped lenses in epidermal tissue that can detect light and “see” the shapes of nearby leaves.[24] They further proposed that, B. trifoliata processes that information through an unknown means, possibly through neuron-like structures in order to initiate mimicry.[18][23] The study also found that non-mimetic leaves have more free-end veinlets and identified the hormone auxin as a possible mediator in changes to leaf morphology.[24]
This paper received substantial media coverage, was praised by F1000’s Faculty Opinions, and went viral on the social media platform TikTok following its release. František Baluška, a plant biologist and editor-in-chief of Plant Signaling & Behavior, praised this hypothesis, and claimed that root skototropism and photoreceptive cells in algae were analogous mechanisms for “plant sight”. However, the paper’s conclusions have largely been met with skepticism by scientists. Criticisms of the paper include poor methodology, White’s lack of a scientific background, and possible conflicts of interest between Baluška and Yamashita.[18][23] The research was awarded the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize for botany.[25]

But maybe you can explain where all the downvotes come from, because I don’t understand.
Is thievery good? Only when thieving from companies? Is is socially acceptable to take what is not yours from others? Only from companies? Or from a stranger who has more than you? From a friend? What’s this all about?
- Comment on Ok boomer 9 months ago:
No, I’m serious in all statements. Corpos will jack prices on any occassion that offers itself, so keep the number of those low.
- Comment on Ok boomer 9 months ago:
service is not something the client has to ask for but something the vendor provides. Just like you hold a door open for someone entering behind you, you provide that service, unasked.
- Comment on Ok boomer 9 months ago:
“service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing
- Comment on Ok boomer 9 months ago:
I don’t know where you live but here this would be a crime and very antisocial and despicable.

This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

Uff, okay. So that was a quote? I assume there is a reason they did this (from my perspective bad) relabeling. (From my perspective bad because FF is often played by a younger audience and they are at risk to learn the terminomolgy wrong and keep that for their whole life. causing potential misunderstandings and embarrassings)
