If you’re way out in bumfuck no-where, it would have been less problematic to dig a pit and burry it where no one will find it.

Or even, just dumping it on the ground as you leave.

Not that that’s particularly good for the environment; but the reason people hate going to proper facilities to dump is because that typically costs money, not because it’s terribly onerous.

Another option would be to just have the shit can go straight onto the ground (like trains used to and frequently still do.)

… I’m curious about their vanishing anus.

both how is that relevant to the invasive species thing, and how that works? like, is it just hard to find? or does the jellyfish actually somehow not have an anus for a time?

I don’t suppose Badge502 is on lemmy?

Minnesota Nice. Fuck Ice!

Define the type? Middle aged white dude? Maybe fat, maybe not. Maybe bald. Maybe not?

Most don’t have visible Nazis tats.

Snowflakes probably couldn’t handle the pico. And that’s just embarrassing.

Nope. Not at all.

There is something to be said for buying a puppy from a reputable/proper breeder. It this is just ridiculous.

Hell. A pound dog saved my life as a toddler. (Total jackass the rest of the time though. I was the only person he liked.)

I’ve never known plants to eat their own shit.

Or need potty training, even.

Clearly smart enough to justify 400 or 500 k

I think I spent a bit more than 3k on 3 terrariums.

The thing is… they’re built into basement window casements (and totally code approved, apparently. Henry from the permitting people was extremely helpful. And intrigued.)

(They’re also quite happy terrariums. Just use native plants so they do okay if it gets cold.)

Says the guy who apparently can only sting together an insult.

Stuff changes. Each generation does things differently. Stone Age people probably said the same thing when they stopped teaching their children to flintknap after everyone started using bronze tools.

We abandon old technology when it becomes obsolete, and eventually the skills associated with them. And that’s normal.

We don’t have enough hours in a lifetime to learn all the stuff we’ve abandoned, and analog clock faces are going that way. It’s okay. This is normal.

This is incorrect. I’m a teacher and CONSTANTLY use the analog clock for multiple reasons.

It’s the clock of record. Doesn’t matter what YOUR particular clock says, the clock on the WALL is the time we all go on.

Irrelevant. This function would be served regardless of what type of clock is on the wall. A digital wall clock would serve just as well, and likely be less expensive to maintain than the electromechanical clocks you presumably use. (something about obsolete technologies becoming increasingly more expensive to maintain.)

Reaching into your pocket to pull out a phone and look, no matter how much you want to pretend it’s trivial, still takes SIGNIFICANTLY more effort and time than glancing at the wall. Those seconds add up.

See the above reply.

Momentum. Are you PERSONALLY going to provide the billions of dollars in funding to replace every analog clock in a public space with digital ones?

an irrelevant red herring with a false dichotomy. Clocks in public places are mostly installed by the people who maintain those public places. We all pay taxes to keep those places up. I don’t need to personally fund such a project and you know it.

This is not like learning to write cursive - reading an analog clock is a trivial skill that should not take longer than a day for anyone to master.

It may be trivial, and there may be some benefit besides learning to read said clock. But like cursive, it’s an irrelevant skill that generally won’t be used outside of class. That’s how it’s like cursive. Or, if you prefer, using a slide rule. as a teacher, I am, however, sure you understand that you only have so many hours of instruction available. A day spent on this, is a day not spent on something else. You might have arguments for why this is more important than that something else, but its still an obsolete technology that, like the slide rule and fountain pens, is going away. Nostalgia is not a good enough reason to keep it around.

btw, my middle school had all digital wall clocks back in the mid 90’s, and probably had them for quite some time before i was there.

or maybe they should invest in digital clocks rather than continuing to use an archaic, obsolete technology.

Yes. You read that right.

Analog clocks are obsolete.

Same with the fountain pen and dip pens and calligraphy (and the cursive writing styles that relied on them,) carrier pigeons and the telegraph. not to mention all sorts of other technologies that are of only passing interest.

You probably don’t know how to read a sundial, or to locate yourself on a map using a magnetic compass.

While there’s some esoteric value in such skills, the skills themselves are obsolete and useless to modern life. We’re not preparing them for the past. we’re preparing them for the future.

Guaranteed the teachers aren’t using the analog clocks if they don’t have to either.

(edit, I can’t find the full article, everything points back to that atlantic article. The gyst that they cropped out so crudely is two fold: the point of cursive was to minimize blotting caused by lifting and setting the pen across each letter when using a pen with a nib. It required a relatively light hand when writing, so as to glide over the page and not dig itn. Ball point pens, on the other hand, transfer ink differently- you’re rolling a ball over the surface- and they require significantly more pressure. the fluid motions of cursive writing cramp the hand sooner compared to print, if you’re writing with a ball point.)

Even ducks hate slop!

i always catch recommendations from the help desk librarians. Some of the best books I’ve read I’d never have picked up otherwise. We were chatting about it and they decided to plug in the books I gave good feedback for, just to see.

It was a comical five minutes.

Are we certain he hasn’t already died and they shoved an animatronic chat bot up his ass?

It would explain a lot. Including the smell.

I mean. If it gets him out of politics, I’m sure we can get him an off-mainstreet theater in Branson.

(I know he’s full of shit, like always, but I can snicker, can’t I?)

passengers are saying otherwise.

I don’t know which side is telling the truth. I mean, of course Easyjet doesn’t want to admit to having had a corpse wheeled onto their plane. But I’m kinda skeptical, too.

Why do they gotta turn the plane around?

FTA:

However, moments before departure, the flight’s crew discovered that the woman had died. The aircraft was forced to return before it had even departed the tarmac, with the journey from Spain to Gatwick eventually postponed by 12 hours. Travellers claimed the dead woman had been taken to towards the rear of the aircraft in a wheelchair before she was hoisted into her seat with assistance from five family members.

so. first off, the plane had never taken off by the time they had found her dead.

Even then, the flight was from Spain to the UK, so jurisdiction matters. if she died on the plane (which is what Easyjet says) she still died in spanish territory. And if she died before they boarded… well… that’s probably something they want to look into.

Probably make more in clicks and adds than they can make buying and scraping a very limited amount of probably-not-actually-pure gold.

Certainly less work.

(Edit: this is the irregular reminder to crack addicts and meth heads- flocke cameras have copper you can sell.)

Wouldn’t be surprised if he nukes everyone.

So yes.
