Yah there was a deliberate choice made when using that vernacular lol.

Thats an expected response lol

Their mating ritual is brutal

Dragonfly mating is a competitive “contact sport” where a male identifies a female, subdues her in flight, and then links to her so they form a wheel formation to mate. Because females may mate with multiple partners, males may also scoop out or remove earlier sperm and guard the female afterward.

The first step in the mating process is for the male dragonfly to subdue the female. The typical scenario looks like this. While in flight, the male approaches the female from behind, grabs hold of her thorax with his legs, and sometimes bites her in an effort to quickly subdue her. Pulling his abdomen forward, he uses his anal appendages (cerci) to hold her by the neck while continuing to fly with her in a formation referred to as tandem linkage.

Yep doesn’t get more fucked up than this one, it’s up there with dragonflies.

Yah thats what I was noticing, my power bill only goes up…never down lol.

Yah they could if they feel its better to destroy then let consumers run local models on them.

Maybe, is that even profitable anymore with exchange prices crashing?

Yah you’re likely correct for the majority, but not all of these will be bought up…

One can only hope 🤣

Ooooohhh sounds like fun, need to set aside some cash for the firesale of hard drives and gpus soon to flood ebay lol

Aren’t they a publicly traded company now? Gotta keep the shareholders happy…

Ha well Id be shocked if you did. Yah I can see the proverbial dots there, just was curious how far the supposed rumor went. Thanks.

Well I missed this one…did you just make that up or you have a link to where this was discussed?

Haha, no idea if there was ever an association between the two, possible but not likely lol.

It’s a fascinating book. I look at it with heavy skepticism but at the end I think there are some accusations that could be plausible and likely do occur, not so much for others. We now have seen evidence of certain fungal networks aiding root systems and establishing a level of very primitive communication, which also has its own critics as well Mycorrhizal network. So back to the book, i think some of the testing done in the 60s and 70s was more abstract art than evidence based science, but ultimately it does lead you to question whether the statements and findings could be true. Either way I found it a fascinating read, especially for someone that enjoys getting their hands dirty in the earth.

So many, but this one has always fascinated me.

The Secret Life of Plants (1973)

Lol, yep pretty much my reaction as well. It was during spring break so I assume it was for a prop or to make a scene at a party but yep, my jaw was dropped driving by it. Young dude had a beanie on and sun shades living his best life rolling down the interstate at 70mph lol. Wild.

Driving down the interstate, saw a sedan that had its roof removed/cut off and the bow of a boat added to it lol. The windshield was from the boat. 😂

Hahaha that description is hilarious. Goodwill has some nice clothes so no need to sell yourself short lmao.

Yah I follow a similar approach in addition to doing a simple search for well known malicious commands like rm -rf / and some others as well.
