These days, we know the police are not here to protect the public, rather to serve as an occupying garrison for the ownership class, and while this was always the case, the DEA and war on drugs and the 1033 program have made this role even more clear.
American police. Police in different countries are structured in very different ways.
While american cities are a nightmare to walk, I feel like this is a bad example, like his complaints are that the pavement is next to a road and he needs to walk a bit further to get into the park. This isn’t really unusual anywhere.
There’s giant areas of the US where there’s no pavements at all and there’s a lot of things you can’t walk to, like supermarkets or pharmacies, because your nearest one might be an hour or two walk away.
I think that’s probably it. I know it’s always a game when you get the clothes out the dryer after a while to work out if it’s still damp or if it’s just cold.
They were certainly feared but aren’t as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.
Looks much better when the rainbow goes horizontal rather than vertical
Fun fact I learned this week, humans have no sense for water, we work out something is wet by combining things, like if it’s cold, if the pressure is different, if it’s moving past us, but can’t actually tell wetness.
She’s so cute
I think Moa are a cool candidate for de-extinction, cause we have close relatives, they wouldn’t be too dangerous, and we could house them well in zoos. Plus I’d super like to see one.
I’m concerned how much the focus is on being a burden to others. If someone wants to die then fair enough, but if they die for the benefit of others that isn’t a free choice.
My house only has a bath, no shower, not had one for 15 years outside of hotels (and even then I request a bath if possible).
Cost of living varies too though, in many countries that amount would let you live well.
Ancient forests are a designation in the UK - https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/habitats/ancient-woodland/
The Woodland Trust have staff that mind them. I’m not sure what this guys job title was but probably a conservation officer or similar? He was helping us with something about the oldest trees in the UK.
Also, not a he.
For developing fast food for example you’d want a food science degree rather than a food engineering one.
Food engineering is engineering in the food industry, so like developing and streamlining manufacturing, developing new packaging, that sort of thing.
I was speaking to a guy that looks after an ancient forest and he was explaining the fungi that allow the trees to communicate and it was fascinating but I thought he might be pulling my leg, so I came home and read everything, it’s fascinating.
My current phone is 4 years and 3 months, remind me in 9 months and I’ll tell you if it’s still cool.
I meant more like lizards, hedgehogs, frogs, but yeah, cats too.
I think they’re a good diet to some insectivores.
Maggots are the things that breakdown dead stuff, without them you’d have dead animals and plants rotting on the ground for ages while the bacteria breaks them down slowly. I think the whole world would smell worse.
Not really talking about brutality, although that varies from place to place, but more the occupying garrison for the ruling class comments. Police structure vary from country to country.
Also Scotland yard is a building, it doesn’t do anything.
