Man bats really lucked out in the evolution department. They got little graspers on their wings and can fly, while birds have to touch everything with their beaks or their walking feet. Are bats really dumb to compensate or did birds just get a raw deal?

I've had a few alleged migraines in my life, but I just felt weird as hell and then slowly darkness closes in on one of my eyes and I can't see out of it anymore and I start bumping into stuff. No pain though and haven't had one in years.

The interpreter has basically given up and is basically saying

"Well there you go, people off fighting again"

Edit:I can't be too exact , Rwandan sign has similar etymological roots to my country's sign but it's not 1 to 1

I showed this to a Deaf co-worker and they said "yep that's a professional interpreter for you"

So RSA is South Africa, but maybe I am misinterpreting what you're saying.

I'm wrong ,I could have sworn I saw Rwanda there

However, colonialism is a bitch and South African sign is also British sign derived

No worries. I've never actually thought about the differences in sign language before and my first thought was "why don't they all just speak the same sign language" and then immediately realized why that was silly

The topic of sign language families is super interesting with some really cool edge cases (indigenous Sri Lankan is actually beautiful, and constructed with some interesting grounding philosophy) and it sorta runs parallel to pop history ( America being denied the British system due to having declared independence for example) aswell as being really depressing for how contemporary the "history" of Deaf oppression(?) is. And I haven't even touched on Asian sign language families myself.

But this is not the thread for it :)

As someone who speaks a grand total of two whole languages and has an interest in linguistics, I am really curious about the history and differences between the various sign languages as this is something I've never learned about. The only thing I know about the history of sign language is that some French dude developed some version of sign language at some point and you got an American university for the deaf. If this derail gets out of hand we can just bring it back to smooth sharks or snow tires in Texas or whatever

It's not the mosquito that kills people though, it's Plasmodium, the yellow fever virus, etc. We don't say that bats killed a bunch of people during the ebola epidemic.

How do you die of snail?

Schistosomiasis is a parasite that grows in snails that live in freshwater as part of its life cycle. Humans come into contact with the parasite by getting in the water and reintroduce the parasite into freshwater through open defecation.

Schisto kills a good number of people per year, but why are we accusing the snail of murder? Maybe there's some vicious predatory snail that I'm not thinking of

my in-laws had huge goats that would escape from their enclosure in spurts every now and again and the only thing they would do is eat all the flowers and come up to every window in the house and look in to see what we were doing.

The up front cost for turf removal and conversion to xeriscaping is high, but a lot of towns, especially in the western US, give incentives. That coupled with water costs can have a pretty quick return on real savings. That's all assuming you own the property though. I did my backyard a few years ago. It cost me about $1200 - 1400, and the city gave me a check for $750 as soon as I showed them receipts and had it inspected. Then I converted the automatic turf sprinkler system to an automatic vegetable garden irrigation system. Last year I put in a rain barrel, so every year my water costs drop a little more. Can't wait to do the front yard, but again that up front cost can be brutal.

This is tangentially related to what you're talking about, but I live in a place with plenty of precipitation consistently throughout the year, but I just can't be bothered to take care of the tiny front yard because I have to cart everything around the block or through the house because we're in the middle of rowhomes. No HOA, so the first year I just let the milkweed and grass grow au natural. Some sunflowers popped up too. The bugs and the birds and the bees had a loving blast. We had tons of butterflies and bumble bees going after the flowers, and the gold finches loved the sunflowers, aphids went to town on the milkweed, but we had a shitload of lady bugs. This is the middle of a largish city too.

I wanted to do the entire thing in lavender, which absolutely works perfectly here as long as you got good drainage on the soil to keep it from staying too wet, but my wife won't allow it. My three little lavender plants are thriving though.
