Feral domestic cats are responsible for the extinctions of over 20 native animal species in Australia, where I live, and many other ecologies, especially island based ones, have been severely affect. This whataboutism and acting as if cat owners have no agency over the tiny predators they've adopted does not help their billions of victims any more than ignoring mass pesticide use does.

I wouldn't use it in vein either, seems likely to result in a malpractice lawsuit.

Owners can absolutely control cats by keeping them inside and by getting them neutered. I know many responsible cat owners who do just that. It's not that they can't, it's that many of them don't.
While pesticides are absolutely an enormous problem, in terms of bird deaths at least domestic cats are a bigger problem by orders of magnitude, at least in the US (which my concerns are not primarily focused on). Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2380
Well, correction: I love cats even if they aren't kept inside, it's their owners I have a beef with.
I love cats as long as they're kept inside and not systematically genociding native animal populations.
All three of these creatures are harmless to humans. Contrary to one common myth, Cellar Spiders DO have fangs capable of piercing human skin, but their venom is not medically significant, at worst causing a mild fizzing or slight burning sensation. Harvestmen and Crane flies have no ability to bite whatsoever.
Ok, so to clear this up: There are THREE animals commonly called Daddy Long Legs in different regions: Cellar Spiders, Harvestmen and Crane Flies. What's shown in this clip is a Cellar Spider (Pholcidae) which is a true spider. It does have spinnerets (you can see it's webs in the clip) and eight eyes like most spiders. Harvestmen are the animals with the traits you listed, except that they aren't spiders at all, they're a different class of arachnids.
Yeah, probably! I just find the alternative fun to think about.
Oh I know, it's not meant as a criticism! It fits the story just fine, I just find it fun to think about the engineering implications if it were real.
Emotional story aside, a mainspring capable of powering a humanoid robot is a terrifying concept, especially for something intended to be around kids that's clearly given little maintenance (though I'd hate to be the person assigned to maintain such a thing).
The worst is when a company's only feedback option is "How likely would you be to recommend us to your friends?"
My guess is they're beads from a necklace.
Likely true in a lot of cases, but I think in most of these free trials for subscription services, their primary purpose is for the percentage of people that will inevitably forget to cancel the subscription and get billed automatically once the trail runs out. Still scummy, just a different kind of scummy.
Pretty much, yep!
What a bizarre bit of misinformation to be spreading. The beak of an octopus *is* it's mouth. The anus-equivalent is it's funnel, which is also used for jet propulsion.
Minor correction: That would be paleontological records. Archeology specifically deals with human history.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a sound effect from a Sea Dragon Leviathan from Subnautica.
I work in a school, and I use the handicapped toilets in areas where dedicated staff toilets aren't available, for protective behavior reasons. To put it briefly, it is inadvisable for an adult to be in a bathroom with a minor and no other witnesses, so it's best to avoid that scenario entirely.
Just pointing out, there's a difference between the original Dawsonian idea of a meme (which is really just a frankly unnecessary buzzword he coined to describe "shared concepts or ideas") to how the word is used by the vast majority of people who use it today. That might be what the word meant when it was coined, but it has since evolved.
Please don't normalize this. Like...I get that it happens a lot, but there are people who legitimately depend on adderall to function normally, and it's becoming unreasonably hard for them to obtain it.
Unlike this spider, giant centipedes are not harmless and are extremely aggressive. Having one anywhere near your hand is not recommended.
I'm guessing it's a misspelling of "Blue Heeler", a breed of dog.
How the heck do you selectively breed for longevity though? By the time you've identified your selection criteria, they're dead (or at least past reproductive age).
To be honest I'll be relieved if that's the case, I was always a massive fan of his music and I'd love to be able to see him as the good guy in this situation.
While I'm certainly not going to defend the other layoffs mentioned, in the case of Martin O'Donnel specifically, there's good reason to believe they didn't have much choice. No actual official details on his firing have been announced "out of respect for privacy", but if you examine the circumstances it sure as hell LOOKS like a sexual assault case or other major misstep on O'Donnel's part. That's coming from someone who hasn't read up on it in years though.
He would, but the donkey is an ass.
