This right here. I fell down the “wild boar problem” rabbit hole a couple years ago. I was curious about what controls have been tried and what could be done to bring things back into balance. The statistic I read said that 75000 boars must be killed per year in Texas just to keep their numbers stable there. Holy hell. That’s a lot of dangerous game hunting.
That’s a long time to be eating one thing.

“Hypocrisy dwells in the soul,” or to use another quote:
Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) —Walt Whitman
When last I followed the topic, there is a body of science supporting this. The summary of it is: people like to think of the human brain as being integrated, when it’s more of a duct-tape-and-bailing-wire artifact of evolution. Shit got bolted into place over millions of years of evolution. So while things are connected, the parts don’t all necessarily work in unison, especially in morally complex situations or when we feel threatened. It all exists to get us laid and propagate our genetic code. All other consideration are secondary from the perspective of DNA.
And folks, this is why it’s critical that we work on ourselves, study philosophy even if only cursorily, and understand interpersonal dynamics, Instead of tearing each other down, we could be investing energy into lifting up each other.
Edit: formatting. As an aside, how do I get single line breaks in Jerboa/Lemmy? Single CRLFs are ignored.
Ah, cool, thank you! I didn’t realize the Expedition Terminal worked in both directions. I just completed phase 2 in the current expedition and wondering how the items get back to my main save.
I’m still learning the finer points of NMS, so please forgive me if my question is obvious. How does one transfer items to the main save?
When was the last time you even tried to live without buying anything built by exploited labor, abusive extraction processes, and run by oligarchs? You can’t. It would maybe look like a hunter-gatherer or maybe a primitive pastoral life. It is literally impossible for any of us to be having this discussion in this medium without some of exploitation and/or abuse. There is no moral consumption under capitalism, hell probably even impossible under any globalism.
So fuck right the fuck off with your sanctimonious bullshit.
OP asked about amateur radio bands, which are mutually exclusive of 802.11 bands.
This response is so boot-lickingly simplistic and lacking in context and nuance. I wish I could get to live in the world where this blanket statement just made everything okay again. It’s almost as if you actually have no reasonable counter to the points raised by the commentor.
How did they miss “Jedi Master” in their list of qualifications?
You have it backwards here. Apple needs to support developers. They make it expensive and inconvenient to develop on their ecosystem. But until Apple releases their stranglehold, I would be just fine if I never have to use their shitty OS, development software, and tools ever again.
my M1 Max MacBook Pro could run Baldur’s Gate 3 at max graphics with no performance issues. On battery. Over extended periods
I’m a bit skeptical on this claim, or maybe we have different ideas of what “extended periods” mean. My M1 Max MBP would have just under two hours of run time with VS Code doing .NET Core dev. It was even worse when doing Ruby on Rails work. And that was when MBP was new. My whole team were issued these, and our experiences were the same. Zoom calls were even worse, with about 90 minutes of run time.
The ARM architecture has amazing battery life when idling, quite unlike x86. But when it gets spooled up, it eats angry pixies just the same as x86. All of my x86 laptops can do .NET Core work… for two hours.
Came looking for this comment. It’s absolutely critical to know thyself, and understanding one’s attachment style is one of the easier bits of self-knowledge.
One of the most accessible books on the topic is “Attached” by Levine and Heller. For me, that book was such an eye-opener. I read it as my second marriage was imploding, and I was grabbing at everything to try to save it. The example conversations for my and my ex’s attachment styles were uncanny. I kept getting the feeling of “were y’all in the room with us for that argument?”
I am also a bicyclist with three different bikes. One watch replaces three bicycle computers. I can track performance metrics, longevity of components, and service intervals… for all of my bicycles.
My watch also has functions for sailing performance metrics, kayaking, hiking, running, and lots more sports.
That’s ignoring the other watch functions: timers, find my phone (great for when the phone slips between cushions and I didn’t notice), compass, barometric trends, notification filtering…
My partner has the same watch. The longitudinal health stats from her watch was one of the key factors in getting her health complaints taken seriously. One medical facility completely, repeatedly dismissed her concerns as “nothing serious.” Turns out she had Stage-IVb cancer (now recovered).
I misspoke, and you raise a good point. I meant gift economies, and that error is on me. And those are pretty well-documented. I’ll stick to my firsthand experiences:
You are confidently incorrect on this. Currency == money. Money is, for we hoi polloi, a barely consentual conversion and exchange system for our labor, hypothetically allowing us to convert our labor into readily fungible exchange units. Money, at the Capital Class level, is debt, and therefore control, i.e. power. Money is just how they keep score.
There are plenty of barter gifting and Communist (“from those of ability to those of need”) economies, just on scales that fly below the radar of most economists. Your sweeping assertion leads me to believe that you may simply be ignorant of those non-monetary exchanges. Would you be willing to add more context to your assertion?
Edit: I misspoke; crashfrog raises a valid point, and I meant gift economies.
Wampum was used by Eastern Costal tribes as a storytelling aid.
In the Salish Tribes, dentalium shell necklaces were used as a status symbol/indication of social rank. Some tribes used the necklaces as a type of currency, but I’ve only heard the “some tribes did this” part; never anything about which specific tribes used dentalium as currency.
Obviously, anything that holds perceived value can be traded.
Source: went to junior high in a school that taught two full years of Haudenosaunee (also called Iroquois) history.
Salish source: I’ve been a volunteer naturalist in the Puget Sound for eight years with an annual training requirement, with entire days allocated to history of the original Salish tribe for the area where we’re working.
The Salish Tribes existed in the PacNW for over 13,000 years without money.
:( indeed. This got me right in the feels.
Ever see a toucan in person? I had an employee with a toucan he would sometimes bring into work. It could throw things, especially round fruit, with uncanny accuracy. Like it could easily play catch from at least 2m away.
Glaucous-winged gulls also seem to have uncanny accuracy with defecation, but that’s not quite throwing.
If you look at from a different perspective, it all makes more sense. Right now, you’re trying to apply the incorrect logic and an ethical consistency to anti-trans efforts. The anti-trans efforts are a test to move the Overton Window rightward. Trans and NB people are such a tiny minority. By targeting and othering that demographic, Conservatives are testing how much the rest of the citizenry will tolerate the next steps in fascism: targeting other minorities, miscegenation, segregation, concentration camps… whatever it takes to make a white xian US.
