People born before 2000 think older technology just evaporated the minute the millenium ticked over.

Tie them to the communications mast and give them thirty lashes with orions belt!

Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You’d might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.

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.

True, but he’s proven repeatedly that he’s got far more money than sense.

Knowing humans, yes! I think they will. Probably not the bits that fall off, they’ll most likely be placed in the visitors centre but given how sentimental we are as a species I can absolutely see us one day touring the sea of tranquility space reservation.

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

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!

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

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

Remember, there is: Life is meaningless and nobody cares :(

And

Life is meaningless and nobody cares :)

What?

Not true. Nothing quite gets the point across quite like “shits fucked.”

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

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
