I wonder if you could make a 1m thick foundation of this stuff beneath each house which works as a sort of battery for the house in case power goes out.

Yeah, the biologist is sort of showing their ignorance for the free 15-minutes of fame to get into an article I suppose.

I don’t want to know how much testing they needed to do for that

Or an uneducated community to bury real information 😆

Not that I’m defending Tesla’s, but do your busses pull off the side of the road completely like that often? I would be confused as a person driving as well. Usually buses in my area just stop in the lane so it’s a lot more obvious that you stop behind the bus and don’t pass in the lane beside it.

What’s the point of AI if you need to search for the source to make sure it’s right everytime? Just skip a step and search for a source first thing.

Pretty much anything tech support, it gives you options which no longer exist anymore because the solution it is suggesting is from a slightly older windows/android version and the UI changed so the option is no longer where it thinks.

Also asking if particular wildlife in in a particular location. Tried asking it if polar bears were in a location I’m going to visit and it said yes, but a quick search through its sources confirmed that was false and the nearest Polar bears are hundreds of miles away.

Ya I can see AI resulting in many deaths if people start trusting it for things like “is this mushroom edible”?

Most of the time if I read the AI summary from Google it’s wrong. Very few times has it actually been helpful.

You still need a rule, but just don’t be lazy and have a blanket rule. Instead of always have a hard hat, just say hard hats required if there are any objects on site withing 30 feet that are above 6’ or something.

If a business doesn’t buy hard hats because it only applies some of the time, then fine then when people aren’t wearing hard hats when there are objects within 30 feet of working that’s are higher than 6’.

My business works In one area for 30 minutes every 2 weeks that requires a hard hat. The rest of the time it isn’t required. We still provide the hard hats. But expecting employees to wear them everywhere else is ridiculous.

I’m all for safety regulations and laws, but I also understand why people are frustrated with them.

People writing the laws or corporate policies are incredibly lazy and just copy paste a bunch of stuff to where it’s not really required imo.

Like workcrews must always have a hardhat on. Then there are landscapers working in a garden pulling weeds even if there are no trees for miles. What’s going to happen? A tornado throws a rake at your head?

It should be national election week, not election day

There are many species which bite humans, but you are right that it’s only the females which bite.

There are only a few species which don’t bite at all and are fully just straight up pollinators, but most species do bite something. Some are specialized and mostly feed on birds while others mostly feed on amphibians and reptiles, but most will bite pretty much anything that breathes. There are even some species which specialize in biting fish.

You still try to kill them, but at least the ones you miss will end up dying anyways. If enough people do it, maybe mosquitos will evolve to avoid humans entirely lol

They won’t change

I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

When laws are not followed by those in power, and peaceful protests get shut down with force and arrests, why should the people follow the law anymore? It means nothing if those in power also break the law.

Political violence is the only other option left.

So terrifying, I’m shaking in my boots
