One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?

Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.

Also damaging to businesses… I already knew about the butter recall and then saw this. My brain automatically filled in ‘peanut butter’ when reading because of the photo, and my first thought was damn, Costco fucked up again? Maybe they are going downhill in quality. Until I read the comments to realize I should reread that.

My zoo buries them on the premises. I know of a camel, a moose and a few other things got buried there. They have a large plot of land that is used to dispose of organic waste like branches and trees, old compost, etc until it’s full and needs to be tricked out to the landfill. They just bury the animals under the ground there.

The zoo near me a few decades ago had an accident where a lot of their reindeer got pregnant before the male could get neutered. They kept all the female offspring but they couldn’t risk having two males in the same enclosure and no nearby zoos needed male reindeer or also couldn’t accommodate them so they had to put them down and ended up feeding them to the carnivores in the zoo.

We need to try and bankrupt any company that produces fax machines.

The industry will need to adapt once fax machines aren’t produced anymore.

I prefer having ballots not say what party the person is in. Then people actually have to know who they are voting for, not just blindly check a box beside R or D every time.

Go extreme minimalist. Buy practically nothing you can live without. Boycott everything. Politicians only listen to their gdp and stock numbers.

Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?

Man, maybe the Dems lost because the VPs are named Tim … They should really look into people with other names maybe.

I don’t even remember who Clinton chose for her vp

Democrats would prefer to lose than become more progressive because the rich and powerful still benefit from Republicans winning or Democrats winning as long as Democrats are still centre-right wing.

As soon as Democrats move left the elites start to lose so Democrats don’t.

Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.

Honestly I do expect this term to be worse than the first. He had to temper his behavior and choices because he wanted to be reflected. Now there isn’t any chance of reelection so he will be more likely to do drastic things with no regard for the consequences.

People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

THIS is the moment where everyone should be creating 3rd party candidates and going to the streets to spread awareness for the next election.

Not 6 months before the election with trump as a possibility. Get out there and promote 3rd party now, when people are pissed at Democrats for throwing it all away for Israel and people are pissed the trump won.

Lots of countries are stupid, but not that many have >50% of their population be that incredibly stupid. Usually it’s closer to 20-30%. America takes the gold though.

Why not both?

I mean, can you really say that something doesn’t have a colour if you see it as that colour? Does it really matter that the colour is coming from different refractive indexes rather than that wavelength not being absorbed by the material? If it consistently happens in that set of circumstances, isn’t it fair to say that is its colour? I.e. the coating, oil slicks

I strongly support everyone doing this.

The more people who get seriously injured using abandoned rail lines means the more likely it is that railway companies will remove them when no longer in-service to avoid liability.

I had a phone with one on the back and currently have one with it on the screen. Personally I had absolutely no issues with its functionality in the screen and do prefer it over the back. I like that I can unlock my phone without having to pick it up off the desk or while its still in the mount on my vehicle dash.

Seems to work perfectly fine to me but maybe it’s a quality issues with the brand of phones. Mine is a OnePlus and it’s almost 4 years old now, still works fine and never had any issues.
