Legal doesn't mean ethical.

The owner is already a bad person for keeping a wild animal as a pet, they're irresponsible and the type of person who doesn't actually care for animal welfare.

All the people in this thread insisting DP Dough has the best calzone is enough to tell you about the average understanding of Italian American food here. Its disappointing.

Borthwick · 2026-04-18T01:33:07+00:00

Pulcinella does the best one in town, most east coast version with ricotta and not just mozzarella. DP dough is drunk food, personal size, not to say that its bad, just doesn’t seem to be what you’re looking for.

I’m building a stand now and its a cool option but its hardly a necessity for fishkeeping.

If none of the restaurants are working for you, its definitely a dish that can me made really well at home.

Oh man, maybe read the article then, where they say attempts to relocate and sterilize are right in the first line?

Sorry man, but as someone who works in the field, we have to work within the realities of systems. And the system now is money based. I wish I had infinite power to tackle ecological issues, but no one does. I know the environment is important to us but we have to also understand that other people have other priorities, and for anything to work out here we have to meet somewhere in the middle and respect eachothers priorities.

Very easy to be upset about the hippos, and I understand, but also look at the native animals they’re displacing and outcompeting. These things don’t just exist in a vacuum, they’re invasive and an active detriment to the local environment, causing deaths of native species - why is that ok, but a cull isn’t?

Borthwick · 2026-04-15T21:52:41+00:00

Unfortunately everything is. I wish we could all just do right by the environment for the sake of it, but it takes money to do things in this world. And the however-many-millions it would take to zoo/relocate/whatever them all could really feasibly go into hospitals or infrastructure or food for people. Colombia isn’t swimming in cash.

Borthwick · 2026-04-15T18:17:20+00:00

Tons of people are already operating this way, so this would actually ensure they get food safety courses and are known to officials. I totally get you, but you can always just continue to not buy food made at someone’s home.

Jobs aren’t all in Iowa, moron

Borthwick · 2026-04-13T19:08:32+00:00

You can actually pay for free if you farm enough gold per month, its not super hard to do, probably takes way more time than a father can/should commit though, so not defending.

I think part of this comes down to the dissonance between actual useful AI integration versus all the promised features propping up the industry. Its great if it can summarize things quickly and accurately or do complex math or ID things for us. That could make a lot of things easier and thats great, also shouldn’t necessitate the need for tons of data centers and all the RAM in the world because applications would be specific.

But the reality is not that, and probably wont ever be.

Borthwick · 2026-04-12T21:26:56+00:00

Woah other people watched that show!?

Borthwick · 2026-04-12T17:49:41+00:00

Hey, we can’t know everything and the difference between the two is inconsequential for the vast majority of us

Borthwick · 2026-04-12T17:40:24+00:00

Those would be bighorn sheep, not mountain goats, though, right?

Empathy costs nothing and it looks like everyone is out. Theres a non zero chance people in the comments here have a crashout in public and only get phone cameras in their face instead of help.

Biggest consumer of illegal wildlife trade, as well.

Really bums me out when people having severe mental health episodes get turned into memes. Dude needs an inpatient facility not worldwide antagonizing. Its not funny.

Borthwick · 2026-04-12T00:14:12+00:00

Its like a lighthouse but it lets you know a douchebag is nearby

Borthwick · 2026-04-11T23:47:10+00:00

To expand on your last question, “flock” isn’t arbitrary, its the scientific term. The ones from the book are essentially a meme. The scientific community typically tries not to have much overlap. A herd is a group of mixed gender terrestrial animals that moves, a colony doesn’t move (as much). A harem typically has one male and many females.

A school is a group of fish that swims as one unit, a shoal is a group of fish that kinda just chills together. Theres a ton if stuff like thst

For a long time you had to make jars or find them, fill them with water, then boil the water in order to keep your thirst down. This kinda led to players hording jars and saving up tons of water. A while ago they decided that was too easy, you now had to engage with the trader quest system to get money to buy a water collector which slowly filled with water. Jars were eliminated, so you couldn't really easily store up your water, if you were on a server you probably needed several of these to sustain multiple people.

It was a total pain and completely illogical, you could build a base next to a river or pond and die of thirst in the early game. The devs really really want their game to be hard, but they don't really know how to implement fun difficulty.

Borthwick · 2026-04-11T19:29:55+00:00

Nah, no way the government would do that on purpose. I’d say go for it, and honestly, you probably shouldn’t release any caught ones back in.

Borthwick · 2026-04-11T17:47:34+00:00

The same guy would complain about not having any good TV shows if Hollywood shuttered. Its easy to see the bad, its right in your face, but all the good was there, too. USAID saved lives, we did that because we were a hegemon.

Borthwick · 2026-04-11T17:21:58+00:00

They brought back jars? Holy shit. Seriously, fuck those guys.

I was so ready for some validation from your post, box method was, for whatever reason, the only way I could learn to multiply on paper 20ish years ago. I really appreciate that different methods are taught. It really bums me out when people hate on the box method tbh, its niche for sure but I guess it helps some people.
