I think that’s probably it. I know it’s always a game when you get the clothes out the dryer after a while to work out if it’s still damp or if it’s just cold.

I’ve mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they’re very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they’re sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren’t nearly as bright do it too.
They were certainly feared but aren’t as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.
Fun fact I learned this week, humans have no sense for water, we work out something is wet by combining things, like if it’s cold, if the pressure is different, if it’s moving past us, but can’t actually tell wetness.
I think Moa are a cool candidate for de-extinction, cause we have close relatives, they wouldn’t be too dangerous, and we could house them well in zoos. Plus I’d super like to see one.
We’re up to 922 according to that link. That’s insane.
That’s sad. Clearly the doc in question was a bit dodgy and sounds like other docs he did had issues, but either way that’s super young.
Zoos have known this for a long while, this study from London zoo went into it in 2006, and look at the sources going back into the 90’s.
It’s cool that this new study has come out, but this isn’t news really.
I think you’re confused between which part of a socialist dictatorship is socialism and which part is dictatorship.
Most, if not all countries have a level of socialism, US has less than say France, who have less than Norway, etc.

Poor woman. The women there have been through so much.
There’s something wrong in the research here, if she had her daughter at 14, and the daughter is 14, then how can she be 26?
My house only has a bath, no shower, not had one for 15 years outside of hotels (and even then I request a bath if possible).
Cost of living varies too though, in many countries that amount would let you live well.
Ancient forests are a designation in the UK - https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/habitats/ancient-woodland/
The Woodland Trust have staff that mind them. I’m not sure what this guys job title was but probably a conservation officer or similar? He was helping us with something about the oldest trees in the UK.
Also, not a he.
For developing fast food for example you’d want a food science degree rather than a food engineering one.
Food engineering is engineering in the food industry, so like developing and streamlining manufacturing, developing new packaging, that sort of thing.
I was speaking to a guy that looks after an ancient forest and he was explaining the fungi that allow the trees to communicate and it was fascinating but I thought he might be pulling my leg, so I came home and read everything, it’s fascinating.

I was listening on the radio about this new aid boat, they’re trying to work out how to do it because people are so hungry and desperate that they will drown trying to be the first to the boat.
This article seems to be trying to make the use of drones seem ominous but that’s really simplistic. A drone is a tool. They talk about flying drones over large gatherings but before drones they’d just have a dude with a camera go up a tall building.
When there’s large gatherings it can be helpful to spot crowd surges or crushes to be able to see things.
Of course these things are open to abuse, but how many cases of abuse have we seen with basic police on foot?
It’s not the technology we should be worrying about but the officers who are abusive.
