This is what companies do when they have products they can definitely sell for money, right?

Oh, fuck me, it’s just more stock manipulation. Say how much you were paid or fuck off.

Could you link to a study about this? Fire hawks even intentionally using fire is so new to western science that it’s surprising to me to already assign that to them.

Since you apparently know what I was posting and my intent far better than I do I don’t see a reason to continue the conversation. Have a day 👋

Fuck me for asking if you were intentionally implying poor people are stupid.

I wouldn’t even know it existed if dudes weren’t constantly raging about it.

Is ‘poor people are poor because they’re stupid’ really the message you want to put out?

That article is about the destruction humans do, not fire hawks. Some landscapes benefit from the spread of fire (fire has been part of the ecosystem of Australia for tens of thousands of years), and I’m not aware of any research that shows fire hawks cause environmental destruction at a level remotely near what humans cause.

Needs at least one more cooking to complete the carbonization, I see colors other than black and gray.

“We found that there’s no age at which you can give a child a phone that’s better or worse for reading comprehension, so it’s just having a phone at all,” said lead author and UCLA psychology professor Patricia Greenfield. “That’s true in third grade, and it’s true in sixth grade.”

This seems overly broad to claim based on an observational study. Or rather, they did an experiment, but what they tested in their experiment is different than what they’re claiming here. The groups weren’t ‘kids who aren’t allowed to have a phone’ and ‘kids who are allowed to have a phone’, it was ‘kids that had their phone with them at school that day’ and ‘kids who didn’t have their phone with them at school that day’, and they further broke it up by taking some of the kids with phones and taking their phone away from them for the duration of the experiment.

That is not what your press release is selling me, UCLA!

Coordinate systems existed before GPS.

Yeah, do NOT plant stuff you intend to eat in your yard without testing the soil first, people. The stuff we put on crops and that we dig out of the ground is shockingly toxic and persistent. Sunflowers are a great way to remediate the soil, although you may need multiple years of planting and disposal.

If your local library doesn’t own a book scanner, any colleges near you may have one. You usually don’t have to be a student to walk into the library, and the book scanners I’ve used don’t require a login. YMMV on whether this is how it’s set up where you are.

If anything they actively make people unsafe by falsely flagging drivers with a partial tag match for a stolen vehicle

It’s interesting that even the stricter standards for humane treatment in the UK (compared to the US) still isn’t enough to keep the birds from basically living in a petri dish. Poor things, and also yuck.

Needs everyone staring at a radio. Then a mass printed book. At one point there were people who thought books might damage women’s health by being too exciting.

That said, each of those things did bring legitimate unexpected social changes. The flattening of accents and Protestantism weren’t expected consequences of radio communication or printing, introducing new ways that people interact with information about the world just changes how they see and interact with the world.

sal@mander.xyz, why is this now the appropriate community for this post? Or is this one going to get removed, too?
