The largest terrestrial animals have always been herbivores, elephants, rhinos, mammoths, giant tree-munching dinosaurs, and so on. I’m not sure why you think that would be different for buffalo.

Being an herbivore means that you have ready access to vast quantities of food that most animals can’t extract nutrition from, but you can. Having access to large amounts of food allows for gigantism in animals, and being a large herbivore means that the predators capable of taking you down must either be large and powerful, or run in packs. Being large also means you can support large fat stores which help you to get through leaner times, and also withstand very cold weather.

Cause or correlation?

Nm it’s Psypost, we’ll never know.

The only facts in the entire piece are that this drone exists, and who makes it. The rest of the page is just speculation, quoting another paper, and emotive language. As a piece regarding a bit of technology any discussion of that tech is notably absent.

So how could it mislead? Well how do right wingers in the US mislead without lying? Talk about HRT for example, offer a single ‘fact’ about what it is, then spend the rest of the time conjuring visions of horror about how it might be abused.

Other than the simple fact that this drone exists and the company that makes it, the rest is quoting “concerns” from another source, and speculating about how horrible it would be with some fairly emotive language.

It’s virtually information free if you’re looking for details on the drone as a piece of technology, rather than a platform for social media twits to opine about politics.

I care about sources of information which aren’t simply propaganda outlets which “publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information…”

You should too.

That’s nice. Here’s what I care about.

> These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Pretty much what I’d expect from that rag.

It’s what Scientific American used to be, before SciAm turned into another popsci dung heap.

“Two groups of people, but not necessarily between members of the two families.”

Weird euphemism for gangs.

Seems fair, they were abandoned, why should they keep up their end?

It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s reliable. If you I want to make a lighter as cheap as possible and still work, that’s the way. The “click” ones involve a piezoelectric switch which is still very simple and cheap, but not so much as a piece of mischmetal and a wheel.

It’s a software update, I don’t think this is costing them anything, and Tesla owners are the sort of suckers who love that their car be updated over the air.

I’m as happy to shit on Musk and Tesla as the next guy, really the company is an overvalued joke making mediocre cars and Musk is scum…

…BUT. This is nothing.

Homeopathy is regulated as food, medical devices are not and just like pharmaceuticals an efficacy trial is part of the deal.

Yeah that’s the sort of recall that makes you stop and go, “Goddamn.”

Probably a lot nastier than that tbh, Australia is protected by a LOT of ocean, Western Europe is pretty damned close to bits of North Africa.

This is going to get worse and worse until countries like Italy, the UK, France and Greece decide the public backlash is worth it and take a very hard stance.

The ROI on throwing money into a burning building would have a higher ROI than Alexa! Lol

Lol, so they laid off a bunch of people and now that money will be sent down the bottomless pit of movies in theaters? Brilliant.

Yeah I’m surprised, this seemed like an easy pass to me.

I don’t know about better or worse, but there are recognized and accepted reasons to end a human life; I cannot think of a single good reason for sexual violence under any circumstances.

Or indeed any other authority, some things are inexcusable.

Seems more like a policy than a mistake.

Well… https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/13/man-arrested-for-protesting-king-charles-may-demonstrate-at-coronation-17363558/

You sort of do.

I really doubt that the SCOTUS will hear this one.
