Because Gizmodo used the old photo, from before it was converted to EV.

Diesel cabin heater.

good.  want there to be polar bears in 100 years?  show more people polar bears.  the net emissions cost is outweighed.  IMO anyway.

Agreed. I don’t see why people are coming in here to dunk on Mars. “Truly beautiful?!? It looks shittier than the Nevada desert but without the oxygen! It’s no Iceland, lol!”

Is it amphibious? If not that seems like an oversight.

we just made more nanowatts! 

They’ve found a way to generate serious electricity from people hate clicking on sideshows. 

Way up where, Manitoba? It’s nearly all hydroelectric.

While I was in Venice, Italy I had a chance to witness a bee feasting on my Tuna brioche. It was intent on taking chunks back to the nest. I took footage of the phenomenon. Kind of freaky.

“This year’s migration has just been absolutely epic,” Christmas Island National Park natural resource manager Brendan Tiernan told Reuters. “The roads have been a seething mass of red crabs. It’s caused traffic jams on this small island and people having to get out of their cars and rake them out the way.”

that just sounds like Wasps with extra steps 

Betcha their honey tastes funny.

I’ll say the obvious: Survival strategy for global warming. Within a few human generations at most the bees will have billions of rotting human corpses to feed on. After that, billions of the corpses of various animals that live off of us, to one degree or another.

Now I’m curious about their nests and how they rear their young. Are they solitary or do they live in hives. So many questions now. Lol. 

But not necessarily sapient.

“let’s hope they don’t develop a hankering for humans.”

Just because it’s commonplace doesn’t mean it isn’t extreme.

I love lobster.. but if the standard method of cooking it doesn’t weird you out a bit you might check your empathy module.

Boiling anything alive is definitely extreme.

I distinguish those concepts all the time with those words. I also use CS Lewis’ word “H’nau.” To eat a fellow SAPIENT creature is the same as cannibalism, even if it’s an extraterrestial, or a talking deer from Narnia. In the real world, though, I think some scientists and philosophers believe that sentience is all…

octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish, have “complex central nervous systems, one of the key hallmarks of sentience,” and that they’re subsequently capable of experiencing “feelings of pain, pleasure, hunger, thirst, warmth, joy, comfort, and excitement.”
