Hunting and killing a wild animal that you don't intend to eat is just horrible.

I guess there should be a Jaws exception. You're allowed to kill predator animals that are specifically hunting humans.

I think all hunting should be legal but only with weapons you can make by hand, by yourself, on the hunt. If you can scratch build a forge and barrel mill in the woods you deserve to kill a snow leopard with a gun. If you're some ignorant hick who gets lost shortly after exiting Cabela's, have fun rock hunting bear.

Under your system, am I allowed to hunt humans if I only use a sharp rock I found?

I can think of at least 3 ways to open a beer that are better ideas than that if you're stuck in the woods and don't have a bottle opener.

4 if you include driving to the nearest gas station and buying a bottle opener.

Can't Fail Cafe... has failed

I worked there a while ago. It was weird because I made insanely good tips but management was so lovely they were losing money hand over foot. I left when the completely changed management because my good hours were taken away, but I guess the new management couldn't turn it around.

Edit: it was an East Bay landmark. Mike Dirnt from Green Da was one of the owners, we were open until 1am in an area where very little was. Kids who were really into Green Day knew about it, I can't even count the number of times I'd serve a family of international tourists who were very clearly only there because the 14 year old with dyed hair thought maybe Dirnt would be there. Frequently kids would bring things they wanted to give him, I'm guessing records they hoped he would sign and mail back.

Is it normal for Tucker Carlson to take an abrupt leave from his titular show?

He takes vacations every year, pretty much all television hosts do. for stuff like talk show hosts they'll just have re-runs most of the time, but for a "news" program they'll have guest hosts. Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, etc. all do it. Whether or not this was a pre-planned vacation I have no idea.

I�ve thought about this and I�ve come down on the cynical side that including something wrong but harmless increases engagement by baiting comments/shares dedicated to pointing out the mistake.

Like, if I wanted to know some fact that was hard to Google I might just post something blithe and related but with the fact incorrectly referenced and wait for someone to show up to breathlessly correct me

Wasn't there some study or something showing the quickest way to get an answer to a question on the internet is to post a wrong answer so people will leap over each other to be the first to show that you're wrong. Like just posting "What temperature should I cook chicken to?" will get nothing but crickets in response, but "Chicken is fine at 140 degrees Fahrenheit right?" will get a bunch of people typing telling you it's 165 degrees and then multiple long effort posts on germ theory and how actually if you're using a sue vide and you cook the chicken long enough you can cook it at 140.

The John Deere thing is actually pretty cool, they've been loving over farmers with planned obsolescence in their tractors (sorry, you need to get a new tractor, this model doesn't support our latest firmware update). Also they can remotely shut down your tractor if you try and perform your own repairs instead of using an official licensed John Deere technician who can take days or weeks to even show up when you're in the middle of a harvest.

Military time is just a regular 24 hour clock written as a single number. It's pronounced ending in hundred when the last two digits are 00 but it's still just a regular 60 minute clock.

Okay, I work at the post office and they use a 24 hour clock and then hundredths of an hour instead of minutes, so 6:30 pm is 1850, and I was told it was military time when I was hired. This is only used for timeclocks and contracts, when we're like talking we all would say 6:30.

I had to make timeclock schedules in decimal minutes a few years ago for a regional grocery chain.

The clocks showed standard time, but the punches and the schedule showed decimal. It was really loving weird to show 16:25 for 4:15 and it hosed up so many people since the machine wouldn't let you clock more than 7 minutes off your assigned time.

Then we switch to Kronos or something and that went away but the leeway on clocking was like 2m then.

Yeah, we get 5 minutes leeway, and you have to volunteer for overtime, so everyone clocks out five minutes early if they aren't doing overtime.

The entire Danish number system is base 20.

Seventy-five is 'fem og halv fjers' = Five and half fours = 5 + 3.5 *20 =75

50 = halvtreds = 2.5 * 20
60 = treds = 3 *20

French is even less logical

Seventy five is 'soixante-qinze' = sixty-fifteen

Eighty-five is 'quatre-vingt-cinq' = four twenty five

I'm not British, I've never been to England, but I like their money before they went metric. I think it was base eight.

The pre-decimal British monetary system was partially vigesimal (20 shillings in a pound) and partly duodecimal (12 pence in a shilling). They also had a 2 shilling piece called a florin (worth 1/10 of a pound), a half-crown (worth two shillings and sixpence , or 1/8 of a pound) and a crown (worth 4 shillings, or 1/4 of a pound)
