Some people here also equip their cars with some device that makes a high pitched sound when parked, to scare them away. I can't say if it works with animals, but it scares me away alright.

I think lots of industrial processes actually require an atmosphere or at least some of the gases in ours. It would make more sense to make those processes less harmful down here than move them to space

Maybe that's Bezos endgame. Your Amazon packages are dropped from space. Delivery time is only limited by terminal velocity.

I use brave on mobile. Because they seem to be the only stable Browser that offers bottom UI (tabs and new tab button in a bottom menu bar). I don't know how people use >6" phone screens with navigation all on top and I have ha
