  • If you're American or Canadian or Australian (maybe others?) the secret is to make sure you visit "Accredited" zoos and aquariums.

    They have regular inspections and assessments to ensure they meet Requirments for enclosure space sizes and maintenance and cleanliness quality, behaviour and mental enrichment for the animals (of which this would be something, providing natural prey instead of ground meat), health checks and veterinary care, documentation of all of the above, etc.

    If somewhere isn't accredited is risky as to whether or not the animals are properly cared for.

    It is AZA in America, CAZA in Canada, and AAZA in Australia. There may be others for other countries but those are the ones I'm familiar with.

  • Right in the article it says "The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff"

  • Well at least with phone tap there's like a limit of $200, so maybe some company can corner a niche market where they only cover small daily purchases. No $10,000 credit balances or $2000 purchases and points and whatnot, just like $1000 balance limits and max $200 on purchases through tap.

    You wouldn't need quite as much capital that way, and I bet that would eat a good chunk of business from visa and MasterCard.

  • I feel like it should be super easy now for smaller competitors to pop up by just offering digital credit services using tap on mobile phones. No need to manufacture and ship out plastic cards, just a digital version people keep on the phone, until they get large enough to be able to provide physical cards.

  • To me having the car be able to override your actions sounds more dangerous than being to override the autopilot.

    I had one rental truck that drove me insane and scared the shit out of me because it would slam on the brakes when I tried to reverse into grass that was too tall.

    What if I were trying to avoid something dangerous, like a train or another vehicle, and the truck slammed on the brakes for me because of some tree branches in the way? Potentially deadly.

  • I would bring my bed into the room and turn on the floor fan.

  • I think I would like Australia's over the rest.

    The recessed circles I feel like they would gather dust and grime in there if you don't use it often and be tough to clean out.

    I like the angles prongs as well as the switch to turn it off and on.

  • You can get socket extensions where the bulb goes into it and then each extension is connected to a wall mount remote switch. No wifi needed and then you have a wall switch for each bulb.

    Doesn't fit into every light fixture though depends on the design.

    Edit:

  • Double teen burger from A&W.

    Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.

  • I mean, if they know Israel will continue the attacks even if hostages are returned than what is the point in keeping the hostages? All that is doing is making you need to feed and care for them, even if minimally, while making Hamas look like the bad guys.

    Return them, and if Israel continues the attacks, nothing changes and you have more leverage in gaining international support

  • It's much easier to defenestrate her after she's free and abroad. Can't have two of them hung in prison.

  • During the show:

    Explosions and musical scenes - +++++++++++++++++

    Actual content and dialogue - +++++

  • Because when I'm not there my great Pyrenees likes to jump onto my bed and sleep directly in front of it as well while I'm at work.

    (fan just out of frame)

  • But I want a rush of air directly pointed into my face as I sleep

  • So why can't I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?

    I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.

  • Turn off the tap Donald!

  • What we really need is to get rid of spines and thorns in blackberry bushes.

  • Corner gas, Schitt's Creek, also quite good Canadian tv

  • He takes us to a creek downhill from a new construction site for a data centre being built by US firm Quality Technology Services (QTS).

    George Dietz, a local volunteer, scoops up a sample of the water into a clear plastic bag. It's cloudy and brown.

    Well, maybe they didn't have proper sediment control but a creek is a lot different than well water. Most people don't drink out of creeks, sediment control is done more for the purpose of protecting fish habitat.

    Hauls buckets of water to flush her toilet

    What? You're concern is sediment in your well water and then go haul dirty brown sediment filled water from the creek to flush your toilet instead?

    Buy a sediment filter for your well water. Even people not beside giant data centres should have one just because it keeps the system functional and running better. It is practically a requirement to have one.
