You know, I’m a hyper voracious reader of sci fi and I’ve never read any Bujold. I’m down to correct that strange oversight, do you recommend that novel as a decent starting point? If that quote is representative it seems right up my street

Yeah exactly! It as so annoying because I fully respected her decision too, I’d be skeptical in her shoes! We don’t deserve dogs but I’m glad we’ve got ‘em!

Guessing NZ?! Yes birds when they are smart can be very, very smart. I am pals with a couple of blue jays who eat my sunflowers. They chase off the crows who torment my dog. The crows will swoop at Kramer the poodley mutt and it drives him

Same happened to my dog in a hotel patio. She wouldn’t trust that the door was open probably due to a past event (older rescue). After a few days she trusted me when I called her through and finally believed the door was open. Then of cours

Didn’t the whole GNU think come about because RMS was pissed off at the locked down printer? Or is that urban legend?

I was shocked as a Brit American living in the US how nanny state Aust is. Even more than Britain. Certainly when it comes to cars and driving. The whole ‘anti hoon’ thing seems shocking to me with my now mostly American sensibilities. But

Road traffic laws are absolutely not harmonized across the EU. French, Portuguese and German rules of the road for example are all different in statutory strictness and enforcement strictness.

Yeah imagine the rubber! They’d need American drag racing tyres!

Yeah things like that are always the same. It’s the sellers dream, rarely anyone else has the exact same dream. If they have a similar dream all they see is the differences and what they’d do differently.

Parkinson’s like a lot of neurodegenerative diseases has a complex set of triggers, causes, symptoms, prognosis and is unlikely to have one single cause as it’s not one single disease.

Crazy how important mitochondria are when you consider the evolutionary history. Just so, so, so unlikely to happen to my small mind and stunning how far multicellular life has come with this symbiosis.

That was my first thought too it seems too wide from the measurements given but the attachment mechanics might be adjustable.

I think we share a very similar disgust response to other primates primarily and some other mammals as well including dogs.

That gave me full on goosebumps. There’s something magical about certain machines that make some people emotional. Concorde was another one for me. Killed by bean counters, as so much is.

SPAC’s don’t count. They were all scams to start with.

If ‘industry’ is selling cheap tat by invading privacy then anything bad for that is good for society.

Ah well you are in good shape then. Energy efficiency was my main goal too but no one gives a fuck about that here either so it’s a different market.

They don’t keep logs and if you don’t trust that, they accept crypto. Also, do you really think google doesn’t know who you are? One would have to go to extraordinary lengths to hide your real name nowadays from even a talented curious sear
