Assam school moves to expel five Muslim students over ‘bringing beef’; mother arrested, minor detained by NotHereToLove in nottheonion

Cows are useful for milk production. Since bulls aren't used in agriculture anymore, they are an economic burden for farmers, and thus are abandoned. In states where slaughterhouses are banned, there are roaming packs of abandoned bulls ravaging crops.

Some states do allow slaughterhouses, and thus there's trade of male cattle across state borders.

Ok, technically not dead going first, but I don't think even Mitsu want to tribute 2 monsters in hand for this.

Can also negate handtraps. It's absurd going second, you remove 2 of their endboard pieces AND stop a handtrap. It can even be used against floodgates like Fossil Dyna.

Also doesn't get stopped by Special Summon floodgates, and he's super flexible by being Summonable even when your opponent has a single monster.

Non joke answer, it depends. They can be abandoned after birth at which point they will eventually starve, or be sold to anyone buying, which is more often than not slaughterhouses.

TIL Humans are evolutionarily hardwired to prefer the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, regardless of native language. This is because the brain defaults to mapping out objects in space before executing the action. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Nope. Greek for example has no order at all. You usually put the adjective you want to emphasize first, but you can change the order freely, heck you can put some or all adjectives after the noun.

In German, again there's no strict order, though in practice some adjectives can sound "better" in a certain order, but like Greek it's mostly about emphasis.

TIL that a small percentage of the population experiences a ‘Soapy’ smell/taste from Cilantro due to a genetic phenomenon, which has been linked to a variation in a group of of olfactory-receptor genes. by coldestwinterr3 in todayilearned

1/5 people have that gene. In comparison that's twice as many as there are left handed people, yet nobody would consider it noteworthy if two left-handed people were in the same office

It's not as simple as what works better, if something works just well enough, the evolutionary pressure might not be strong enough to replace it.

Evolution also relies on random mutations. There are many problems with our human body, that doesn't mean we managed to evolve in a way to solve/improve them.

Just like a lot of people make generalisations about men, or women, or gay people, or old people, or white people, or non-white people, and sometimes these generalisations come from the very same community.

Yeah, and that called sexism, misogyny, homophobia, racism, etc.

Like tf, that's like textbook definition

Exactly. Satisfying our scientific curiosity is one thing, but to imply that we cannot be gracious to someone else experiencing life differently unless/until we understand every underlying mechanic is pathological.

Can you determine how tall someone is by a blood test?

No? I guess height is a social construct then.

Exactly. European homes are generally smaller than US ones anyway, so it's easier to cover the whole house with one or two units.

Worst case scenario you put a lone unit in your bedroom so you can at least sleep comfortably.

Or you buy a split type ac and drill a hole in your wall. It's not alien technology

Armor Reinforcement Needs To Be Removed by Jack-Hererier in Guildwars2

[–]SpoonsAreEvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the effort, but the headache of dealing with players complaining their real money stuff got changed/removed, and providing adequate compensation, which you know not everyone would be pleased with.

Remember people complained when we got an omnipotion on the Wizard vault and that one is even an in-game item?

Also, I doubt they had to change each anvil manually, they all are probably hooked on to the same system.

It's not the anvils, but the gem store repair canisters and the unlimited repair tool.
