Well most of human management can’t be held accountable (unless they step on the toes of someone above them) so honestly, what would be the difference?

I mean it’s cheap easy protein. I’m not gonna judge.

But keep in mind there are a lot of invasive populations of mosquitoes and some of them are disease carrying species. Since they’re invasive, by definition they’re not vital to the natural ecosystem and those populations could be safely wiped out.

I’m guessing he was trying to boil water in a aluminium pan and forgot about it? I’m also guessing said roommate must have left, because a burning non-stick coating would be rather noticeable.

I mean, I did something kinda like that as a kid, I forgot a aluminium bottomed steel pan once and managed to melt the base (thankfully with no non-stick coating fumes).

My best guess is that it was on some of the equipment and somehow got transferred in during the colonoscopy.

At long last we’ve created killer drones from the cautionary short film “Slaughterbots”.

Of course, given how jank what we’ve decided to call “AI” is if you tried to make a real Slaughterbot it’d probably be blowing up random people or patches of the wall that it thought looked like a face.

Trains are for poor people and there’s no “disrupting the industry” to hype up to investors.

I dunno, he could have sacrificed his decency and integrity for power over the intervening eight years.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that.

I recently watched a Rebecca Watson video where she rips into the “blue zone” concept.

Dang… and the free market was just about get around to replacing those pipes too.

If you go far enough back, “Data corruption”

I guess even the cheapest Brazilian beef they can find isn’t producing the profits they want now.

I was thinking about that a while back. There’s got to be some sort of upper limit to collecting data being useful. I mean at some point it becomes more economical to just buy the data from one other thousands of companies data mining phones rather then going to all the trouble of building and maintaining your own data mining app.

I’m holding off on buying this until I clear some stuff in my backlog (and hopefully getting the game at a deeper discount).

However from the videos I’ve watched my only criticism is that some of the games look rather complex and would benefit from supplying more information than a small blurb and a controls page. I wish UFO 50 had taken a page from Retro Game Challenge and had some in-universe game manuals and magazines. Still, since I’m planning on buying it at some point obviously not a deal breaker.

Ugh… this reminds me of the time I spotted some hotdogs tucked into a non-refrigerated endcap at a local store. Since they were already room temperature (and as such no longer food safe) I just left them there with the assumption that the staff would clean them up after hours. I went back to the store about a week later and noticed the hot dogs were still there.

I would not take this bet.

Grinding is another possibility. Rubbing rocks together isn’t a very complicated technology.

Ugh…

A “toxin” is a poisonous substance produced by a living organism. While all toxins are toxic to something, not all things that are toxic are toxins. As an example caffeine would meet the definition of a toxin (poisonous to insects and mammals in sufficient doses), arsenic would not (poisonous to almost all life, but not produced by a living organism).

Sorry for being so pedantic, but this is a pet peeve of mine.
