They're little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that's the grey nurse sharks we get in aus. The ones you're describing sound more like wobbegongs or similar. The grey nurses need to be in highly oxygenated water.

Grey nurses also used to have a rep as "man eaters" but that was just because of how they looked,not any actual attacks

It's also better than v and much much better than 2042. It's a pretty fun arcadey shooter, with a very non toxic player base

Yeah I'm kinda with you. If you're becoming filthy rich off selling access to content others made then you're fair game. If you're just doing it for yourself / not profiting it's a very different ball game though

I think the current thing is quite likely an organic uprising. Things have been very very broken in Venezuela for a while now and the people there aren't happy. Lots of people have been fleeing to Colombia for a while now and there are solid signs the election results were made up.

Not mostly, mostly consumer preferences. You wouldn't be able to sell them and it'd just be wasteful

In this case it's because if you raised them no-one would want to buy them. The egg laying breeds are a lot tougher and have a lot less meet than the ones bred for meat. They also cost more per amount of meat in the end.

The simple fact is that people don't want to buy that, so it'd just be wasteful to grow them out.

Nah, it's mostly because all the tech reviewers trashed phones with plastic backs saying they felt cheap. If you look at any of those reviews they always talk about the premium feel.

It also changed from aluminium to glass backs mostly for wireless charging.

Plastic backs are better, but the tech reviewers did a lot of damage there. If they'd tried to influence people and explained why particular made sense instead of trashing it we may have more plastic phones.

If they aren't absolutely essential for some important societal function the aircraft should just be grounded rather than be allowed to fly on leaded. No one's toy or joy ride should be giving thousands of people lead poisoning

Buying the shares is cheap if the company is worth nothing /goes bankrupt from fines for their environmental breaches

Fining the shit out of them for their many many environmental breaches. Then when they're bankrupt, re-nationalise them for cheap.

Yep, I was talking to my grandpa about what invention his parents thought was the most significant in their lifetime, and they had said the radio. They had lived through both world wars which had brought about many many inventions and that was the one they thought was most significant.

Up to that time news was incredibly slow and you couldn't put what was going on on the other side of the country without a massive delay, let alone the world.

I mean, that seems like a really sceptical way to live. Often things get shilled because people are just happy with the service and think the business is doing things well. I am a kagi user and have brought it up to some others, including outside of lemmy, because I find it produces better search results than ddg etc. And it's a definite step up from google in privacy
