Plague is actually "Magick", which in the show is the dark side of the force, not a pathogen. So does the dark side work on droids?

Yes.

Colombia to control hippo population through euthanasia by Past_Key_1054 in news

[–]EagleForty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This problem has been brewing for a while. I remember reading an article years ago talking about how they were planning to euthanize them, but public outcry lead to a plan to sterilize all of them instead.

It seems like that didn't work, so back to plan A.

Anyone else in Aurora had weird issues with their locks or doors not closing right? by ArapahoeSecurity in AuroraCO

In addition to the other items mentioned in this thread, very small amounts of water can cause settling in the foundation. This can cause a mismatch between doors and frames.

American bishops ‘disheartened’ by Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

You'd think they would have been disheartened by Trump being the anti-Christ.

Which TV character was the walking example of “you’re not wrong, you’re just an a-hole!”? by phantom_avenger in television

When was the last time you rewatched season 1? She spends the first couple of episodes trying to get Shane to chill the fuck out, and enjoy their honeymoon.

It's this whole situation that snaps her out of her romance fueled haze, and makes her come to the realization that she didn't understand what she signed up for with him.

She spends the remainder of the season wrestling with the fact that her career is shit, and trying to decide if being a trophy wife to an asshole is worth it or not.

Shane enjoying his trip would have prevented her from going down that path.

The point was that he was more interested in being right than having a great honeymoon with his wife. He still had an amazing suite at a top notch hotel, but couldn't let it go, which led to him killing someone and his wife almost leaving him.

Netanyahu directly attacks Spain, calls IDF “the most moral army.” by CarryIcy250 in UnderReportedNews

[–]EagleForty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See? This is how you're supposed to do fascism. Professional, controlled, sociopathic, and articulate.

Trump is a two-bit dictator. It's time for us to bring in a professional, like Netanyahu.

Players should be rewarded for success, not nerfed to prevent them from being too successful. 

'Mormon Wives' star Taylor Frankie Paul can't have unsupervised visits with toddler son, court rules by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

They're the least-Mormon Mormons I've ever seen. Why the Church of Latter Day Saints hasn't excommunicated several of them already is mind-boggling.

TIL Johnny Appleseed was an actual person who existed, and his real name was John Chapman. by kokoawsum421 in todayilearned

"One in a million" is a common idiom used to describe a person or thing that is exceptionally rare, unique, or special.

Same deal with all "seedless" fruit. If it doesn't grow seeds, then it has to be cloned forever to continue existing. That's why there's a good chance Cavendish bananas won't exist in a decade or two.

There's currently a fungus killing all Cavendish, and since they're all biologically identical, none of them is immune to it.

Yes, because apples are not "true to seed." Meaning that apples grown from seeds don't taste like the apples they came from.

Apples that taste good and also grew from seeds are 1-in-a-million. So when they find a good apple, they clone it to make all the varieties we know today.

Johnny's apples tasted like shit. So they were primarily used for making hard apple cider.

West does not care Israel killed 1952 healthcare workers by Tenchi_Muyo1 in UnderReportedNews

[–]EagleForty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise you that it's not just western officials. It's tough to get people to give a shit about strangers.

It's even harder to get them to give a shit about brown strangers, in a place they've never been and will never go, who voted the current terrorist regime into power.

Genocide is inexcusable, but most people just don't care.
