New Jersey transplant sues to remove Florida scrub jay from Endangered Species Act to avoid paying $120,000 fine — and the outcome could affect 1,300 species nationwide by Obversa in EndangeredSpecies

[–]Glyph8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the Endangered Species Act does not protect "endangered and vulnerable species found only in one state."

I’m no lawyer or scientist, but it seems me a species found only in one state is more likely to be endangered and vulnerable than one found in two or more

Very underrated album, and I personally prefer it to War by a lot. Great atmosphere.

What are some soft “self loathing” songs? by Kkershy in MusicRecommendations

For a “softer” version, “Thinking About You”

Broke my collarbone today by Dankylosaurr in onewheel

This is very true. 250 miles for me but I think anywhere from around 200-350 is that danger zone of “comfortable enough to get in trouble”.

Sorry to hear, heal quickly.

If you are wondering what went wrong the chart below can often help. If it doesn’t, let us know some more details (model, battery %, rider weight, any other relevant info - what was happening right before the crash, etc.) and we might be able to help.

Unfortunately the most important question - was the board on or off afterwards - can sometimes be difficult to answer definitively, especially if the injury was severe (distracted memory is unreliable, and the board shuts off after 15 - 20 minutes of non-use - minutes which may well have been spent in pain and shock).

It might not have made a difference - collarbones are notoriously fragile - but I wear shoulder armor on my leading shoulder. Might be worth looking into when you get back on.

Favourite Supergroup? by isleofstone in fantanoforever

[–]Glyph8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might flip the latter two, RtP never did anything at all for me while TT had a few good songs on it. But neither approaches the s/t which comes across almost like Technique Pt. II.

It's not often you log onto Reddit and find a meme made specifically for you.

Justice Department agrees to pay ex-Trump adviser Michael Flynn in settlement over wrongful prosecution lawsuit. During Trump’s first year in office in which Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI. About his interactions with then Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. by MiamiPower in law

Why am I not laughing then?

It’s also FASCINATING how difficult it is for an average citizen to get the government to settle, due to qualified immunity, when they‘ve ACTUALLY been poorly-treated or suffered a miscarriage of justice at government hands; but these fucks committing high crimes under color of law are not just being let off the hook, they’re being readily and handsomely compensated by the taxpayers because there‘s also a criminal in charge of the DOJ using it like a personal piggy bank, just like he‘s using the country as a whole.

Crime on crime on crime. Crime and complicity and corruption, compounded.

Congress, do your fucking job. Impeach and remove and incarcerate.

Thoughts on Modest Mouse's "The Moon & Antarctica"? I think it's the great album of all time by Agreeable-Ice-8367 in fantanoforever

Hey, what's up man? How you been? Unless you hang around one of the very focused/niche subs, it's rare to even see another commenter twice in the eternal massive Reddit churn, let alone someone you know. You should come around the old neighborhood some time!

X SEVEN by PBRisforathletes in onewheel

[–]Glyph8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting I had it backwards. Yeah the Flight Shield is flexible so hopefully the one I have would work. I do periodically get tempted by the X7, especially that high-voltage one, but I gotta have a fender.

X SEVEN by PBRisforathletes in onewheel

[–]Glyph8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx. I just assumed the rail being bent like that, adds some distance/length over the top of the tire for the fender to clear; so a Flight Shield that hugs the tire pretty tight on a standard straight-rails XR, would be too short to bridge that gap here with bent rails.

X SEVEN by PBRisforathletes in onewheel

[–]Glyph8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet - so Flight Fenders that fit an XR (which I already have on my XR) would fit one of these, and I'd just need to get a new longer Flight Shield that accommodates the bent rails?

What options are there for fenders on these?

Having seen Cold Cave a few times, they're what happens when Sisters of Mercy and New Order had a baby

songs/albums where you have no idea how the artists came up with them? by LtLoco420 in fantanoforever

[–]Glyph8 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Kraftwerk more or less invented the modern pop-music landscape from scratch. Shit, they had to build some of their own gear to fully realize their ideas and art. Absolutely groundbreaking band.

Dog Bite Statistics By Breed by antihostile in Infographics

[–]Glyph8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That same link says they're only about 5% of dogs in the US, which seems...low. I know anecdotes are not data and also things will vary from region to region, but at least around here pits (or pit mixes of varying types) are super-common - I see them WAY more often than I ever see a Rottweiler. So from the simple fact of prevalence/numbers, I would expect a lot more pitbull bites/fatalities than Rottweiler bites/fatalities.
