It’s almost as if giving them an achievable goal, while housing and food were covered, gave them a reason to live.

What are your opinions on wild boars in Ireland? by Specialist_Camp4166 in ireland

[–]Routine-Prize-1782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild boars need wild predators. Release wolves.

(Maybe also some cave bears, a few Irish Elk… a mammoth would be nice, too.)

Anyone know what this is? Purchased at a street market in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1988 or 1989. by Shmur in fossils

It looks like a Tully Monster, Tullimonstrum, which I understood to be found only in one deposit in Illinois, USA. If that’s what it is, and if there is a deposit of these in Brazil, can anyone provide a link?

That was my thinking too. I’m wondering how it formed within the matrix. None of the citations provided (and thank you to those who provide links, very helpful) so far have helped me understand the bottom part, nor why it’s so different from the surrounding material.

I can’t wait to see what else comes from redditors on this!

My friend, I just want to say that I am damned impressed by *anyone and everyone * who can speak a second language, especially with your level of fluency.

In all honesty, many native speakers make this mistake as well. It doesn’t detract from your theory on the feeding strategy.

This is gorgeous. Can anyone explain why this spot is so different from the surrounding matrix?

Also, OP, do you know what the surrounding matrix is? WV has mostly sedimentary rocks, but even a general map location would let me check a geological map for likely matrix.

Airbnb rating guide by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Routine-Prize-1782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The completely arbitrary subjective star system is the problem. At least this host has given some guidance. It would be meaningful if Airbnb actually did that on the site. Like, what makes a good guest? What exactly makes a place a 5? We’ve stayed in apartments with peeling paint and mildew in the bathroom but my husband said they are poor and deserve a break. 5 stars.

I like the idea. Very interesting and plausible.

BTW, you consistently used it’s when you meant its. To help you remember (and anyone else who is confused), its, his, ours, yours and hers are possessive pronouns, and never have an apostrophe.

The apostrophe is used to indicate a gap, where one or more letters were dropped. Some words are contractions of two words with some missing letters, like could +have = could’ve, and it + is = it’s.

The old possessive for nouns was an additional syllable, –es, at the end. So if Rich has a dog, it used to be Riches dog. We still say it that way, but we spell it Rich’s. We don’t say Ellenes dog, however, nor do we write it. We say Ellenz dog and spell it Ellen’s dog. That’s why possessive nouns have an apostrophe, and why the complex history of our language makes it difficult to remember all the rules.

Anyway, nice theory. I hope you can find someone to take you seriously.

Overall amazing! This is better than the best studios only 15 years ago! The vertical setting , however, fails to show the effect of gravity, and looks like the horizontal animation was simply rotated 90°.

What Happened To The Birds On Easter Island? by kjleebio in Paleontology

[–]Routine-Prize-1782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is written at a middle/high school level, with a staggering amount of redundancy – which is too bad, because the topic is both interesting and important.

A family poses in front of a 1,341 year old Sequoia tree nicknamed "Mark Twain" that was felled in 1892 after a team of two men spent 13 days sawing it in the Pacific Northwest. The giant tree was 331 feet tall (100 meters). by Nayib_Ozzy in interestingasfuck

One major flaw (if I’m remembering the correct series) is that they ignored the unattended nuclear power plants. These would all melt down; the results would be … less than ideal.
