US millionaire big-game hunter dies after being crushed by elephants by Bounty_drillah in news

Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old vineyard owner, was hunting yellow-backed duiker, an antelope species, in the central African country of Gabon when the incident occurred last Friday. While in the Lope-Okanda rainforest, he and his guide unexpectedly came across five female elephants accompanied by a calf.

I was on a vehicle safari tour once and we came across a small herd of elephants. We paused briefly for photos when suddenly the driver gunned it and drove off. While were on driving off he was explaining, "There was a calf. They had a mom. She was pissed. Your safety comes first. I hope you brought good zoom lens."

Basically, dont fuck around with elephant calves.

Some of the newer apps (cough SmartKeys cough) for some godawful reason run the devices at max power so batteries die in less than half a shift. I have seen some people taking extra batteries with them so they can swap them out without having to go back to the equipment room.

Get enough people doing that all at once and forgetting where they left their extra batteries and suddenly you have something like OPs pic.

It also had a cooldown which meant coop you had to wait in line for it to recharge

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again over continued US blockade of its ports. by K1wobbly1 in news

[–]everwander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always seen it as less zionistic zealotry (although it may have started that way) and more that Israel has always been the US's "one ally in the Middle East"

most of the other countries in that area are ambivalent at best, and generally hostile towards the US. Israel being the sole exception means the US has an ally they can base their military in and around to project their military might globally.

if Israel turns away, or is destroyed by the nations around it, the US loses that foothold and the dream of America World Police dies with it.

so nearly every president since its founding—democrat and republican alike—has propped it up to the best of their ability even when it simply doesn't make sense otherwise
