Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can’t sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.

Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.

I’ll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.

Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.

Yeah, the one saying that was claiming that after your initial deprecation after driving off the lot, trucks tend to hold their value for a long time. So might as well.

He’s also the guy that’s last minute panicking about saving for retirement in his 50s.

Go figure.

I just picked up an early 2000s used truck because I have a hobby where a truck bed is useful. $7500.

People were trying to tell me that I should get a new one, I can resale it in a few years and it’ll retain it’s value.

I don’t need a shiny new truck. I’m going to throw wood and sheet goods in the back. And I can actually see out of the damn thing, unlike anything recent.

My wife and I had two llamas (dressed in bride and groom outfits) in our wedding.

Our wedding planner tried to talk us out of having them in the ceremony. “They’ll distract from your special moment”

“Have you been to a wedding? They’ll love the distraction.”

I also thought Liam as ra’s al ghul was a really bizarre pick during the movie, too. But I guess I got over it quickly enough, because Liam Neeson.

Honestly, there’s and endless sea of grift attempts going on at all times. You don’t think people selling fake gold Trump coins, etc give one damn about his politics, do you? They’re just trying to wring every penny out of the die hards

You seem to be ignorant of the subject matter. Google “full english breakfast”.

Eh. I’ve had it, and it was fine. I’ve had the meat heavy full breakfast version too, and it was fine.

Certainly nothing I miss after leaving, nor something to avoid while there.

5/10, bland but sufficient.

It sounds weird, but I can imagine it working. Sometimes sweet fruit and mild salt can combine well. And mustard is kind of salt like.

There’s Starlink, now. But somehow, relying on a Musk product to be able to do your job seems… risky.

I agree for the most part. But he has, in the past, been very good at press.

You know the double landing of the rockets was an insane requirement had to come straight from him. There was no need to land both simultaneously, and just made everything a lot riskier and more stressful to coordinate. But the good press they got from it let them ride a tidal wave of good will for years.

Of course, he has ruined all that good will and then some. It’s obviously time to cut him out. The one thing he was good at is not the his worst quality.

But yes, to your point, he never had anything to do with engineering in any capacity for any of his companies. He was a PR machine, and a slave driver to get his superficial vanity projects to completion. But that has all caught up to him.

I only have had one coworker that didn’t do this stupid incrementation thing (some salt with a bit more than a number based on some logic).

He was the guy that would take a minute or two every time he needed to unlock his computer to open his password manager on his phone and slowly type out a long and difficult to type random password that he could never memorize due to the frequency we had to change passwords.

So many delays during conversations / meetings with this guy.

We can defederate them now. Content will move as it reaches fewer eyes.

For that matter, wouldn’t fog impact lidar?
