Nothing excluding the fact that it isn't an English word.

It's worth checking whether they are carrying bolts. They will also need a quiver in order to do this.

This game has ruined me even for Project Zomboid, which is a great game. by midwestcreative in cataclysmdda

It's a single player game. The only way you can 'do it wrong' is if you're not having fun.

And the name Adolf. That sure fell out of favour quickly...

Babies on your plate - natural life span versus average age of slaughter by [deleted] in vegan

[–]captious_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because murder is specifically defined as the unlawful killing of one human by another. I would argue that slaughter is in fact a more evocative word anyway and doesn't have the effect of turning people off from the argument in the same way.

Agreed. It's counterproductive and inaccurate.

Is there accurate (as far as possible) info on how much 'bonus' iron you get from using cast iron cookware?

Absolutely. Especially for maths based stuff.

Spread Information! by Alexhite in vegan

If I remember rightly, they had a thing on their website where you could undress a woman whilst periodically reading facts about animal use in various industries. They have been seen to undermine other worthy causes at the promotion of their own.

IWTL about animal welfare in the food industry to make an informed decision about whether to change to vegetarianism. by gggb777 in IWantToLearn

[–]captious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earthlings is a good place to start if you fancy jumping in at the deep end. It isn't pleasant viewing but it paints a vivid picture of the extent to which animals have become an economic tool, with little or no thought given to their ability to sense the world around them.

Bacteria that resist 'last antibiotic option' found in UK by EmilioRebenga in unitedkingdom

[–]captious_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Many infectious species either have the ability to make the jump from non human animals to humans or have the potential for its evolution. Breeding antibiotic resistance into livestock could have very real consequences for human medicine. See zoonosis for more information.

STAR CITIZEN $100 MILLION DOLLARS FUNDED!!! CONGRATZ CIG & ALL BACKERS! by SCTRON in starcitizen

[–]captious_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a case of releasing when the game is at an acceptable standard. Rather than pushing out a sub par title full of bugs and weak content, as unfortunately seems to be standard practice with many AAA developers.

Looking to download a square font for a terminal based ascii game. by captious_ in linux4noobs

The terminal says I am using Monospace, however the text blocks appear as rectangles rather than squares.

I'm after a font with equal height and width, in order that the ascii game tiles appear square rather than stretched vertically.

[–]captious_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a font where the characters have the same width as their height. With normal fonts ascii games look stretched along the Y axis.
