Nope. The wings are weighted so that the bird is perfectly balanced on its beak. You could set it on a pole and it would do the same thing, just didn’t work on a table because the wings tail and belly would be what touched the table.

Rather Lovecraftian, that.

The one I live in now was built in the 1940s and expanded in the 2000s. The one my parents own that I grew up in partially was built in 1844.

He’s living in denial, thinking they will let her go.

They don’t have an official trailer, but here’s a quick overview.

Consumers didn’t price the glass higher than the plastic. Companies and lack of regulations did that.

Yes they exist(ed?) in the US. They were all over the place in schools and universities/ colleges when I went. Probably the one on the left is still around, but I don’t have a reason to be on campus, so I don’t go on campus.

That looks like a lot of storms

Curmudgeon?

What you’re looking for is called Cazu Marzu, and it’s illegal to sell it in most of the only region of the world that actually makes the stuff.

I was wondering about if there is any iron on the Hawaiian islands the other day, specifically because I knew they were pretty young geologically speaking. This train of thought was inspired by Vintage Story, and my complete inability to find bauxite.

Get the EU to invade and help us out?

Have you tried Portal? I ask because it’s half life but worse, for you, it sounds like.

You might like Dyson Sphere Program, and Vintage Story, given the list you named. They’re both early access and cheap.

Tried Minecraft multiple times. Can’t stand the game. Weird part is that I absolutely love both Terraria and Vintage Story.

I found a huge surface vein of olivine in a peridotite cliff face earlier while searching for bauxite, only to realize that I was about 50 blocks to the east of the Resonance Archives entrance, which my world put in a damn near inaccessible valley between K2 and Everest.

If I can find some bauxite I have a ton of iron to make some steel and between that and my huge harvest of flax and honey, I will have honey sulfur poltices, and the eidolon should be a cakewalk.

Didn’t the Proterozoic era happen a few billion years, and possibly a couple of snowball periods later than that? I thought the aneribic stuff happened pretty early and made Earth hotter than Venus, at the time.

You’d enjoy Vintage Story. It started as the Vintage Craft mod, but it got too big for MC. Still in early access, but already a great game, with a built in modding API

A non-peaceful solution would be preferable. The billionaires have clearly chosen to kill as many of us as they can get away with. Killing them back is just self defense at this point.

We need to outlaw having more than $100,000,000 in personal wealth. You hit that mark, and you get a “Congratulations! You won Capitalism” medal. Tell them it’s made of unobtanium, but just make it out of a titanium steel alloy.

After that every single penny they make is poured into “The Sovereign Fund For Humanities Poor.”

This would absolutely fund UBI, and climate change solutions.

Had to reread that headline 3 times to not have my brain turn “presidential castle,” into “presidential cattle.”
