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.

Not at all! Nuclear is an excellent compliment to renewables and as a companion source to support the grid they are actually really effective. They’re also really useful in situations where renewables just aren’t an option such as large scale shipping. Obviously we haven’t seen any nuclear container ships yet but that’s mostly around startup and infrastructure costs as well as outdated regulations.

With small nuclear reactors becoming commonplace I wouldn’t be supprised if we start to see nuclear shipping becoming a thing in industry in the next 20-50 years.

Its already been proven as a reliable, safe, and effective power source in a naval context. The main hangup people seem to have is with accidents at sea, however again, the militaries of the world have already proven nuclear reactors safe in a number of accidents where a nuclear vessel has been lost and the reactors shut down safely and did not cause release of nuclear material.

Can’t wait! Cheap linux laptops are abound!

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

Bit melodramatic. Even the real artists that midjourney actually stole from don’t claim to have lost millions individually as a result.

I use some electronic safe foaming cleaner I get from work and that does the trick. For any detailed stuff like the scroll wheel I’ll use a toothpick or sewing needle to get into the grooves. I never spray the cleaning foam directly on the mouse, just apply it through lint free cloth. That seems to do the trick for me! I also picked up a carry case for when I’m transporting mine.

Damn, that’s a far cry from my experience with MX mice honestly. I’ve had my MX 2 from release and nothing like you’ve described happened to the coating on mine. I know some of that’s likely down to body chemistry, I have fairly dry hands and I keep my periferals religiously clean so perhaps I’m not the best example of an average end user.

As for breakage, again, nothing of the sort. My brother has a master 2s and my brother in law has the master 3 and neither of them have had any breakage except that I had to swap a puffy battery on my brothers one about 4 years in which isn’t unusual for lipos and liions that are kept at full charge for extended periods of time.

Again, not questioning your experience at all, we all have different situations that we use them in and I don’t know what yours is, but just wanted to share my personal experience.

For all their failings, Logitech master mice do tick most of your boxes.

I replaced the battery in my master 2 not long ago although I had to buy new skates for it it only took about 10 mins of work and the battery was a very basic, standard Li-ion, not custom hardware.

Not USB C to be fair but when you only have to charge it once a month or every 3 if you upgrade to a higher capacity battery is something I can live with personally.

I predict a riot…

It originated from the Watergate scandal iirc. Watergate being the Watergate hotel but I guess water and gate are easy to separate and -gate kind of works as a suffix.

What?

I can’t spot sadam Hussein in this one honestly. Must be hidden real good!

I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is “if a burglar breaks in they wouldn’t think to check the oven for valuables”. Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I’d imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.

But why is the rum gone?!?

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!

Drone racing applies particularly here!

Seriously admire the effort lol. Awesome project!

Most people only bring one or two bags to the shops with them. Looks like you’re bringing double digits of bags lol
