  • I don't think anything is preying upon gorillas, the biggest predators for chimps are chimps and humans, though young ones are taken by birds too

    Humans in the wild are prey to crocodile, big cats, bears, wolves and young ones from an even longer list

    Humans and chimpanzees are definitely predators. Humans who lived through the recent ice age outside the tropics were pure carnivores as no edible plants grow on glaciers; all the big animals and most of the dangerous ones went extinct just after humans got to an area

    Bonobos eat fruit. Not much eats them

    The apes are all pretty good at defending themselves and are their own worst enemy

  • Huntsman is also a hunting spider

  • Other theories are for depth perception for getting at fruit in trees, another is the first but they need depth perception because they're bigger than a squirrel

  • Gorilla are pure herbivores, chimpanzees are predators which mostly eat plants, I don't know about Bonobos, all that's talked about them is their seed life, and homo varies from pure carnivore (in cold places, those with few edible plants) to scavenger to omnivore (especially in the tropics and places with fruit) depending on environment

    Homo, of course, has been lying to itself about what food best sustains it, we can't live happily on the excess grain we've been producing for the last 10k years

  • Unmitigated capitalism. The rest of the capitalist world voted for mitigation like safety nets and public healthcare and anti monopoly laws and their enforcement.

    The cyberpunk genre is only a little more unrestrained than the US economy

  • No cover for you, your disease is caused by your life and that's a pre-existing condition. Denied.

  • I have a zocchihedron d100 :)

  • Are you talking about the one that detected the malware in openSSH?

  • My city was designed in the early 20th century and specifically included space for trams on the roads, but cars took over so trees were planted to fill the space. Now we're building a tramway and many of those trees need to be removed our local green party is in a difficult spot — they do want the tram, they don't want trees removed

  • The West Australian Electric Car Club had to install a diesel genset part of the way across the country

    That diesel was used more efficiently than in a VW golf in km/litre terms because generators are much more efficient than vehicle engines

    1. They need to tear up next to the road to install power poles
    2. No one uses public transport only when it's the worst option. In my town public transport is cheaper than parking and only a little slower than driving so a large share of commuters use public transport. Yours must be expensive or inconvenient or uncomfortable
  • Electrified rails are incredibly dangerous for trams as people are expected to walk on the rails while crossing roads, that's why everyone uses pantograph wires

  • I think it's Russian uninsured ships "accidentally" dragging anchors across major fibre optic links rather than sharks chewing them

  • We have seagulls in my inland city, they breed on an island in our lake. I think the name for our seagulls are silver gulls, famous from the film finding Nemo

  • Last time I asked one to write a heliostat driving program I had to tell it how to find the angle to point the mirror, which was better than the previous one which I also had to ask it to use real libraries to get the sun's altitude and azimuth

  • I discovered that removing Cortana also removed typing as far as windows is concerned. I could type in anything but OS controls.

    I needed to reinstall "basic typing" to work again (their advice is "delete your language pack, then reinstall it, after reinstalling Cortana")

  • Productively? Not nearly even a fifth of people

  • It's "waist" for the narrow part of a person above the hips
