You still need screen to keep the bugs out. And the squirrels can fit through the holes and get at the screen.

So yeah, this design is kinda bad. At least in areas with squirrels.

If by vibe for the rest of the time you mean constantly watch for various forms of life threatening danger. Then sure.

Still a better time than constantly watching out for Manager Mark.

It wasn’t too long ago that a USB mouse would store the divers on the mouse.

Turns out that anti-cracking tech is widely applicable, if a bit expensive.

When things go the way they’re headed, remember the words of T.E. Lawrence, war with an empire is all flank and no front.

Maybe reading the book written by the guy who started this mess can help us end it.

A rare food based example of Carcinisation

Sure, but it’s easier to just add a pinch of msg.

The “hard” option is to just get rid of the hen that turned cannibal. It’s going to be just one, unless you’re running an egg factory level operation. Give the hens more space and actual yard time, and most will stop pecking. The one that doesn’t goes in the soup pot.

I can understand why someone would ask who the good guys were in WW1.

It’s a question that shows a childlike understanding of war in general, but that’s how war is often sold. A team sport with body bags.

That said, WW1 is hard to pick a “good” side. It was a mess of a war, but no side was particularly vile when compared to the others…

But for a US president, there’s only one valid answer.

A US president can admit that Vietnam was not a shining moment is US history, but the world wars? No.

I’ve been out of the military for almost 20 years and I can still march to a cadence.

Active duty? They could march if they felt like it. They did not.

There were free black people in Washington’s day. But yes, the first several presidents were all slave owners.

Mark Rober already did that.

Fun fact, Condorcet is the inventor of RCV, and threw it out because it almost never produces the Condorcet winner.

I’m an opponent of RCV for none of those reasons.

No, I hate it because it’s deeply flawed and provides zero of the benefits that proponents claim it does.

Rather than help third parties, it actually hurts them.

The inventor of the system, created it as an example of a bad voting system. This was in 1790.

There’s far more ballot spoilage when compared to any other system.

It doesn’t eliminate the spoiler effect, just kicks it down the ballot a bit,

It’s confusing to count, which has led to the wrong candidate being sworn in.

It requires centralized counting, which is a single point of failure or attack.

And finally there are better, simpler systems that actually do the things that RCV proponents claim RCV

Vegeta killed Yamcha once, and Buu killed him a second time.

Technically it wasn’t even Vegeta, it was just the little green men that Vegeta and Nappa had seeds for.

Krillian was actually alive to see that death.

As for the death by Buu, that was being turned to chocolate and then being eaten.

Krillian still has him beat on number of deaths, picking up an extra death on planet Namak.

Chameleons don’t actually change color the way people think they do.

First off, the natural state of a chameleon is green, which blends in to the forest fairly well. Their color change is a mating tactic, and so favors bright and vibrant colors.

A chameleon changing colors isn’t hiding, they’re horny.

Or angry. Or scared, or well, any strong emotion. Basically a chameleon is a living mood ring.

Now, if you want true instant camouflage, that’s an octopus. They can not only change colors, but their own surface texture. In their case, they get the info about what to look like from their numerous suckers alone their legs.

Pretty sure that they named themselves. So closer to propaganda.

There was actually an early sect of Christians called the Gnostics. That was sort of their whole thing.

A core belief was that everyone was the child of God, and thus, was God.

They also believed that Jesus asked Judas to go to the Romans.

The early church wiped them out to the last, and we only know what we do thanks to some sparse records and modern archeology.

There are 4 books, and yeah, they’re good. A bit darker than the show, but still comedy.

It starts with Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, which is Episodes one and two? Of the show… maybe some more thrown in… It actually starts with Lister on Earth and tells how he ended up on the Dwarf. He got drunk and doesn’t quite remember signing on.

Better than Life and Backwards were both single episodes… But of course expanded for book form.

I don’t remember reading The Last Human…

Anyway, they’re a bit hard to find, and certainly not in ebook format.

Fun fact, the full crew got together last year to film another three episode special. No idea when it will air

There are actually a few books based on the series, written by by the series show runners.

Lister does end up as a human puddle for a time. Which is why Holly brings Rimmer back as a hologram. The one person who can drive Lister insane enough to keep going.

The show sort of touches on this, but the books make it quite clear that Holly could have brought anyone back, and specifically chose Rimmer.
