What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

Orange is fine. "Light orange with faint tabby markings" if you want to be super detailed, but it's not necessary.

Problem: people still show up as "following" an account even if they have blocked that account or that account has blocked them. Presumably people can unfollow a blocked account, but realistically who is going to bother?

Grass is extremely natural and grassland ecosystems (prairie, savannah) naturally covered about 1/3 of the land on Earth. Most of our big herbivores depend on grasslands. 🦬🦓 Lawns are unnatural and bad for the environment, but lawns and grass are not the same thing.

Medicine was wildly different before germ theory, but people did notice symptoms. Cholera symptoms are distinct from other diarrheal diseases. But mostly I was pointing out that in most of the world, cholera is a fairly modern disease, since most people don't know that historical context.

Cholera didn't leave the India/Bangladesh region until the early 1800s. But dysentery outbreaks were common during times of war, famine, and other social upheaval. A Dance With Dragons even had a dysentery ("bloody flux" epidemic as a major plot element.

We know roughly what one particular dinosaur sounded like.
(In fairness it would have been a bit of an anomoly; most other dinosaurs didn't have a hollow crest to blow air through.)

Counterpoint: The Eragon series sucks absolute dragon ass, so the critics absolutely noticed the name. The moral is that as long as people are happy, they'll overlook a lot, I guess.

The ideal vet gives pet owners options for treatment. "Conservative treatment is subcutaneous fluids + antinausea meds. We recommend doing bloodwork to make sure we're not missing an underlying cause, but it's not strictly necessary." sort of stuff.

Since rennet curdles the milk in the calf's stomach (makes it better for digestion somehow), my guess is someone butchered a calf that had nursed recently and was brave enough to try the weird lumps of stomach cheese.

Star Wars Rebels has an episode where the employees an Empire factory sabotage hover bikes meant for the Storm Troopers. (But not subtly enough--an Imperial officer notices that the hover bikes have a tendency to go boom and publically murders one of the workers in response.)

Dogs stays are more expensive than cat spays. I'm relying on my own experience with vet costs, too. Overcharging is a potential sign that the vet clinic is owned by private equity. It's better for your pets, your pocketbook, and veterinary medicine overall, to avoid them. PE is fucking up vet care.

$900 for a single cat spay is very high, even with bloodwork + new patient appointment added in. I recommend shopping around for a different vet, if you can. Googling suggests the spay surgery should be $300-500 max, so $500-750 total, assuming the bloodwork is really necessary.

That does seem somewhat on the high side, unless something about the dog(?) means the surgery is more complicated than the norm. Also surprised a shelter didn't do the spay beforehand, or at least make arrangements for you to get one cheaply.

In some ways, there are no longer any "natural disasters" there are just extreme weather/geological events that society can either prepare for or not, and when we don't prepare the result is really a human-made disaster. 🫠

There shouldn't be a big "unless they are incarcerated" asterisk to the ban on slavery in the US. Incarcerated individuals should be paid for their work.
The current practice is a moral abomination, it sets people up for failure upon release, and it undercuts labor. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/19/o...

Crocodiles are the outgroup for this phylogenetic tree, since they're the nearest living relative of birds. Basically, if you're looking at the evolutionary history of a trait, you need an outgroup as a "control" for your dataset.

Mardoll = evil but Anonsee = fine is some wildly incoherent analysis of employment histories, even before factoring in Anonsee's abuse. There's simply no way to get there without going though "it's okay when my friends do it" along the way.

Nothing new. Robert Evans = fed has been going around for a while. The most common version I hear is that he works with Bellingcat sometimes and that Bellingcat is CIA/compromised, etc. (I have no opinion about the accuracy of this info, merely that this is what I've heard repeatedly.)

I assume the show is based on Martin's "Fire and Blood" prequel novel. Like, the problem is that the dude keeps writing prequels instead of finishing the actual story. Really bad prequels if Fire and Blood is the norm. 🫤
