LOL at all the people saying “dog’s fault” or “wolves’ fault” as if there is a judge involved here. They are not people. They are animals. Their rules are simple, primal and brutal. We should care about the dog only because we sympathize with its owner. We have little reason to sympathize with the wolves unless we are…

Never mind that what most people think they know about dogs is largely anthropomorphizing fantasy.

Yeah. I couldn’t watch it, actually.

I’m pretty sure if someone did that someone would buy it.

A true disciple of the metric religion. What’s the matter? Unit conversions too hard for you?

Wisely cups his balls just before entry. :-)

I thought their purpose was to let people know the foods were GMO so they could make an informed opinion. How can you say the labels “didn’t work”?

“...or was outfitted with some (illegal) ammo of its own ...” Please, what law covers this. I’ve looked and haven’t found much that specifically or even generally deals with this. It is apparently legal to weaponize a civilian aircraft. It is apparently generally legal to remotely discharge a firearm. At least at the…

and they definitely should not have piercing and tattoos, right?

It’s because it’s like giving up sexual innuendo: hard, so very, very hard.

They give the answer in the intro, “The answer is not “6”.” In this context, “6” is a string literal and has an ascii value of 00110110. Not “6” is 11001001 or “É”. Kind of an odd sequence, though.

We don’t generally divide miles into thirds because a mile isn’t grantable except on rare occaisions (transfer of real estate, for instance) However, we often divide into 1/3rds, 1/4ths 1/6ths small things in commerce. We rarely divide a thing into 1/5ths and almost never into 1/10ths. Base 12 is so much more…

Suppose you want to share a 1 meter long licorice string with two of your friends... :-)

One thing is, because injuring/killing is easier with weapons, they are social equalizers. Without weapons the strong have a much greater advantage. The young can prey more easily on the old, men can prey more easily on women, the healthy can prey more easily on the infirm.

It is also easier for people who are able to discover this relationship while examining the problem. Many such facts can be discovered while problem solving. They don’t all have to be taught.

If someone experiences legitimate fear, I suspect injuries will result.

But, how many are injured every day by humans delivering packages. Motor vehicles get into accidents. Delivery people injure themselves on irregular private property. Never mind the environmental cost of driving trucks all over the city. It is hard to say that quad-copter-based delivery is inherently more dangerous to…

I don't think there are any asteroids near the moon, large or small. It may be that there are more easily accessed large asteroids near earth's orbit than small ones and therefore plan B makes sense.

True, but some signifcantly more so than others.

Could be, to an extent, but the grains we eat today are definitely the product of genetic modification through mendelevian selection by farmers.
