Defunctland did a video on making the "sandwich of the future".. Disney/Epcott's "handwich"! Worth a watch. Includes a literary joke about paper I know you'll appreciate :)
shh, don't remind people that the fda does actual useful food safety work! Or the majority of the US voting population might have to realise they chose someone who wants to hand control of it over to a conspiracy theorist who had a literal (tape) worm that ate part of his brain, and who believes in.. well, nothing that will result in the organisation being able to sanely (or in an evidence based manner) do anything at all helpful!
in one sense.. might increase the deer's safety from being shot? ... or make it an easier to track target... If someone was trying to save the deer from hunters, it may end up having a deer cost indeed.
"...can only be seen from one angle..".. and unless you only have one eye (or one open), they will immediately look very wrong indeed. It's all fun and games until someone /hasn't/ lost an eye. They photograph well though...And are pretty. Art is subjective, and subverting and all. (also sublime. Less than lime. Lime beats art? Err.. I'm drifting off whatever point I may have had or been close to...)
.. that isn't a world without predators... it's just shifting which predator is at the top. Grazing animals will happily predate through all the plants for example. Everything eats.
Actually there is one thing that more people (and more people with a decent level of access to facilities and resources is good at, especially knowledge and education).Technology development. Ideas.And adaptability and communication are humanity's only advantages over other apex predators. (and you could argue stubborness and durability also: persistence predation and all).That's a major issue with the way our capitalist society approaches (and presents/advertises fears: yes it is propaganda).It isn't "cartoonish" to try to uplift more people to more potential. It's cartoonish to think that the "already haves" can be trusted to now do differently.You can't trickle down systemic improvements (or economics for that matter)
"The United States is among the oldest modern democracies, but it is only the oldest if the criteria are refined to disqualify claimants ranging from Switzerland to San Marino. Some historians suggest that the Native American Six Nations confederacy (Iroquois), which traces its consensus-based government tradition across eight centuries, is the oldest living participatory democracy. Others point out that meaningful democracy only arrived at a national level in 1906, when Finland became the first country to abolish race and gender requirements for both voting and for serving in government."
That presenter needs a warning. Snark can be either delightfully interesting and enticing or dripping with "I'll not bother listening". This guy has the wrong sort. Hugely
.. wasn't some overblown MElon claiming he'd dominate that field.. and is now being given a many billions of dollar bonus (equivalent to 10k USD for every single Tesla yet sold) for his "never actually true or deadlines remotely met" claims? .. curious given two major factors: 1) his "full self driving" doesn't use lidar. Everybody else's does. He claims visible is good enough as it's all humans use.2) he claims humans are never safe enough drivers. Although I suspect he figures he himself is. He also claims anybody that interferes in any way with his whims and wishes re driverless are killing people in the future, so really any mistakes including those that lose lives now.. are fine. Ends justifies the means and all. Also: turns out one claim "the driverless system was not turned on at time of impact" might be because he had them programmed to turn off if they detected an imminent impact
There are covid+influenza (combined) RAT (rapid antigen test)s available now. At least where I am in Australia. Also: have you seen that there is a woman who can smell Parkinson's? She passes tests on jumpers known suffers have worn and all! .. apparently it helped scientists to develop a swab test a couple of years ago, but I have yet to see or hear much about use.
When I think of the word "whatever", I picture either my mother or brother -two very decision averse people- refusing to make a choice when asked what their preference is when offered something. It is maddening .. I know decision anxiety and choice paralysis is a thing (very much first hand).. but all it does is offload the deciding onto someone else (with less information so probably more stress over it).
That is an awesome video. And YouTube channel (though they only have two videos. I love that the narrator of the other is -for no apparent reason- a gnome).
