  • Well that was pretty foolish, you should always use the view from your cheating ex's window.

  • This isn't always the case.

    I had a salmon flaverolle rooster, one of the stereotypical cockfighting breeds, known for their aggression and beautiful plumage.

    A raccoon got into the coop and mortally wounded one hen and killed the hen that was the only one to stand up and fight, a silkie. Silkies are tiny fluffy luxury birds with fluffy feathers on their feet, they don't have good meat and lay eggs with a diameter smaller than a quarter. She was the only hen that scared the rooster because she beat the hell out of him when he tried to breed her a few times. She ruled the roost with tiny fluffy feet and handled disputes between birds 3-4x her size without issue.

    The rooster? Unharmed entirely and found cowering on the top roost. He wouldn't fight a raccoon, but he would always try to disembowel me when I went into the coop.

  • Novel charging module brings EV top-ups to the curbside

    Jump

  • That too. By me, we can get 8-16" overnight a few times in winter and those caps would be frozen closed with ice. Most of the time the snow stays on the curbs for weeks or months. Maybe the internal heater mentioned can keep it from freezing closed, but the water and salt does some damage on everything.

    They say they tested in the Cologne area, which is pretty light in snowfall AFAIK.

  • I'd love to know how they addressed water ingress and people driving over them.

  • We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?

    Jump

  • Knives have an advantage at close range at causing potentially fatal damage vs a gun, but a gun can still kill you if you don't gain control of the muzzle. With a common pocket knife, your best bet is a fatal throat stab or slash to ending the threat because anywhere else you can't reach or won't act fast enough. Maybe you can disable an arm if you can separate a muscle or sever a tendon in the forearm, but we are getting into experienced knife combat there. Not that knives are relevant, we were talking bats and a sock with coins.

    A gun would easy win against someone with a bat or coins in a sock, the gunman only has to get in contact range to reduce swing force or get out of contact range. The bat or sock with coins is a 3-4ft radius of danger, the gun basically has range dependant on skill.

  • Both require a lot more effort to stop a threat and can be captured and disarm you at their effective range.

  • I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US)

  • I'm guessing you don't know any rednecks.

  • Check your biases.

    I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.

    Jump

  • Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.

    A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

  • Every group of white supremacists should film themselves being pummeled in order to change recruitment numbers. Any sane mind would appreciate them having that strategy nationwide.

  • My teacher was a punk back his day and fondly told us about how him and his friends would beat the crap out of Nazi punks when they would show up at the spots. He was born in Germany and his parents lived through the tiny mustache man period, so I am sure it was an act of German and family pride to address them appropriately. He would get a twinkle in his eye, as if recalling a fond memory that brought him joy.

    Best damn teacher anyone could hope for.

  • Believe it or not, there was a time when the US government built beautiful homes for working-class Americans to deal with a housing crisis

    Jump

  • Those subsidies are a fart in the wind against home prices inflated by artificial scarcity cause by passive income seekers and restrictive building codes that prevent low income and high density housing. It is like retailers giving a 10% discount for a week when they raise the prices 15%.

    Such a weak and empty gesture to pander to voters. It is better than nothing, but that shouldn't be the bar they campaign on. Dems need to grow some teeth.

  • The Republican strategy is to deport illegal immigrants and free up the housing they occupy, there by increasing supply and lowering demand.

    The Democrat strategy is to build more low income housing and allow in anybody who wants to come here. Increasing supply slowly and increasing demand substantially.

    Neither really push for a program to build low income housing and 1500sqft starter homes that are reasonably priced.

    What is a starter home today is 2500sqft, and that is only because builders make more money on those than 1500sqft.

  • SpaceX Starship breaks up over Indian Ocean in latest bumpy test

    Jump

  • I don't think you fully understand the problem of Lunar or Mars colonization, why they made the decision on their strategy, and what the purpose of this testing phase is.

    For that launch, they were testing booster orientation strategy for re-entry, craft response to missing heat tiles in certain locations, and the deployment mechanism for satellite launches. The failures mean more than the successes because you learn more in failure.

    Are you expecting them to do things that have never been done before and have flawless tests? The Apollo and Gemini program had tons of failures and 6 deaths. Starship has had a ton of failures(most caused by pushing limits just to see what happens) and 0 deaths.

    I get it, Elon is bad so fuck everything he touches, but there are teams of brilliant people who are actually doing the work at SpaceX and they are doing great.
