Right, thanks for the proper information. I guess you need to go pretty far into our past to get to a tailed ancestor, quick google says its 25-30myam, pre-hominid monkeys. Back sc…

A cool device. Seems like its completely autonomous. Seeing as we used to have tails in our evolutionary past, I wonder if this could be fitted like a myoelectric prosthesis around…

works fine for me on ff/w10

I kinda agree. Some countries already do that (eg Poland), but I really think it ought to be a tax relief instead of actual direct payment.

There is a quote attributed to Genghis Khan: 'I am the flail of god. Had you not comitted great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.' Considering how total …

Which also applies to everyone else. The programmer job security just makes that easier in most cases. Which is not really my point as to why they should be held responsible. The r…

Even if they did keep that paperwork, they should be punished alongside the manager who asked them to do it. They knew it was unethical and did it anyway. They should have refused.…

FYI the most expensive cheese in the world comes from a certain kind of donkey. I only know this because I am a moose enthusiast, their cheese being the second most expensive.

You can't talk people into not being greedy. Definietely not while living in an economic system that is built on it.

Swamp is still easier to work with than ground which is frozen solid.

If someone is wondering why: much of Siberian land is difficult to develop due to permafrost. 65% of Russian territory, which comes up to 11.1 km2, is permafrost. Almost all of it …

There absolutely are provable results, you make observations, conslusions, you must show how those are linked with logic. "Is X ethical" is just one of milions of possible question…

You're wrong, concentrating on just STEM leads to media illiteracy. I would even say it's highly conductive in breeding bigotry. Studying the humanities is essential in understandi…

And it got sold! I happen to remember this https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64389615 I suppose leading with a picture of it actually on fire is better than a post or pre fi…

Most likely his ass was literally on fire, and doing or not doing this had the same risk

If you would like to spend some time with non-agressive moose, completely tame individuals who love to be scratched or given a potato, I recommend visiting The Moose Garden in Swed…

Can the fish multiply? If so I have failed them

I use it for an occasional relaxing evening in a flight simulator, usually with a pop-in window with a tv show or another simpler game like chess.

From one side you are correct and entitled to be able to do that. From another, and IANAPsychologist, I doubt the psychological effect of trying to emotionally isolate yourself fro…

You are right of course, I was pointing out their lineage in a half-joke reply. Personally I don't even think where you were born has to matter, just where and how you spend your l…

Not quite, not eating pork was codified into those religions because breeding pigs in hot dry climate is a very bad idea. Same in India, a cow is far more valuable as a farming too…

The royals do eat swan though I believe, a practice forbidden to the rest of the nation. It might be a ceremonial once a year thing but it is a thing

We used to call them cherries, because the fix would usually be a single commit to a single file with a handful of lines changed, so it would get git-cherry-picked into the release…

What other solutions were discussed? Are there any crazy ones? My favourite idea is to somehow apply massive amounts of heat to the lunar surface basically melting the given area. …
