Yeah, definitely a typo, unless ancient horses and rhinos had drastically different diets than they do now. lol

Lol coward blocks all challengers. Look at this person's profile, people. 3.3 posts per hour at last count. That's how much effort they put into their ... Campaign.

"Our surprising findings at Abric Pizarro show how adaptable Neanderthals were. The animal bones we have recovered indicate that they were successfully exploiting the surrounding fauna, hunting red deer, horses and bison, but also eating freshwater turtles and rabbits, which imply a degree of planning rarely considered for Neanderthals," she said.

Scientists prepared to save monarch butterfly in event of 'rapid extinction'

Exactly! Me too. And just 3 days ago as I was walking to work. When I was growing up tho, they were everywhere.

Yeah it’s awesome. The LHC is one of humanity’s greatest engineering feats
in reply to NOT_RICK

And just think, all of it is some kind of thing we found in the ground, punched slapped and burned the shit out of to varying degrees, and made it DO THINGS!

SCIENCE things!

With so many various teams involved with every step of the project, from planning to construction to operation, I wonder if any one person truly understands all of how each piece works to do the things they do.

I've always liked the idea of calling it teaching rocks to think, but maybe it's more like using rocks to teach math to think.
in reply to warbond

Using lightning!

You cannot convince me science and technology aren't just magic by any other name.

You bring up the question of whether it's the rocks that think or the math that thinks using the rocks... What are we when we think? (meaty bags of mostly water propped up on calcium sticks that makes it's own lightning to think?)

in reply to Transporter Room 3

That's a question worth getting high over. I'll need to ponder this.

Yup, Beijing has some of the best bioengineering papers I've seen lately regarding gene editing and microbiology, even some biochemistry. Chinese medical philosophy trends towards holistic systems, versus Western medicine which looks at discrete conditions. So China has made a lot of advancements in areas where this flexible thinking is benefiting them and is a more accurate way of looking at biology.

FDA rejects ecstasy as a therapy: what’s next for psychedelics?


in reply to ArcticDagger

So (to point #1) we can’t approve a psychedelic for medicinal use because we can’t fool people into thinking they took this psychedelic. Despite the evidence it’s helpful as a medicine.

Somehow that’s reminiscent of Nixon making pot a schedule I drug - highly dangerous - to prevent Democratic votes.

in reply to ArcticDagger

I was on MDMA when I had an aha moment that allowed me to set down my mother's bigotry and stop being homophobic. Smoking cigarettes outside in light rain at a rave, this flamboyantly gay guy was cracking jokes and was really funny. I had the thought, "He just wants to take drugs and have a good time on a Saturday night, he's just like me." Instant loss of homophobia forever.

I advocate MDMA use in therapy. I'm convinced it can be useful.

they are everywhere, but you could probably get them out of SOME stuff, some point in the ecosystem you could use as a removal vector, so when they hit that point in the plastic cycle, they can be cleaned up. like how we mostly control mosquito populations by going after stagnant water.

John Lewis memorial unveiled on the Decatur Square


From Decaturish:

Decatur, GA — Hundreds of spectators, including various local, state and federal officials, celebrated the unveiling of the John Lewis memorial on the Decatur Square on Saturday, Aug. 24. The 12-foot statue replaces a Confederate obelisk that stood on the Square in front of the Historic DeKalb County Courthouse. The obelisk was removed in 2020. [

SurrealEngine: Open-source reimplementation of Unreal Engine with playable UT99

Listen, if there isn't a server you can download maps and umods on that allows you to fly a shark in the sky with redeemer rockets over a Burger King, then I'm not interested...

UT99 was too good for us.

Seems to have some severe bugs: github.com/wasi-master/13ft/is

in reply to sag

Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. "That ladder is 13 feet tall" vs "That is a 13-foot tall ladder".


Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, Microsoft tries to launder responsibility

in reply to David Gerard

Copilot then listed a string of crimes Bernklau had supposedly committed — saying that he was an abusive undertaker exploiting widows, a child abuser, an escaped criminal mental patient. [SWR, in German]

These were stories Bernklau had written about. Copilot produced text as if he was the subject. Then Copilot returned Bernklau’s phone number and address!


and there’s fucking nothing in place to prevent this utterly obvious failure case, other than if you complain Microsoft will just lazily regex for your name in the result and refuse to return anything if it appears
