This article seems to be trying to make the use of drones seem ominous but that's really simplistic. A drone is a tool. They talk about flying drones over large gatherings but before drones they'd just have a dude with a camera go up a tall building.
When there's large gatherings it can be helpful to spot crowd surges or crushes to be able to see things.
Of course these things are open to abuse, but how many cases of abuse have we seen with basic police on foot?
It's not the technology we should be worrying about but the officers who are abusive.
Why would you bail a woman that openly tried to murder a baby??? That's insane.
Not sure if it's very, maybe slightly? They're not cuddle kitties, but neither are they murder kitties.
I think that's probably it. I know it's always a game when you get the clothes out the dryer after a while to work out if it's still damp or if it's just cold.
I've mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they're very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they're sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren't nearly as bright do it too.
They were certainly feared but aren't as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.
Fun fact I learned this week, humans have no sense for water, we work out something is wet by combining things, like if it's cold, if the pressure is different, if it's moving past us, but can't actually tell wetness.
I think Moa are a cool candidate for de-extinction, cause we have close relatives, they wouldn't be too dangerous, and we could house them well in zoos. Plus I'd super like to see one.
We're up to 922 according to that link. That's insane.
I'm always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.
I read a report that suggests longer grass encourages small mammals to set up breeding areas and that mow in June kills them. Animals like shrews, hedgehogs, harvest mice, they're all being mowed up.
By mowing normally and leaving the hedgerows intact we allow animals to choose safe nesting spots.
This feel like one of these evil mad scientist films, or the start of a disaster film.
Zoos have known this for a long while, this study from London zoo went into it in 2006, and look at the sources going back into the 90's.
It's cool that this new study has come out, but this isn't news really.
I'm getting paywalled and can't be bothered getting around it but I've read a lot about this from the researchers who study it, it's quite interesting. Is it possible that cells can have memory? Of course. Could energy persist beyond the physical? Sure.
I wouldn't call myself a believer but I'm definitely a curious observer.
She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn't safe around birds.
So what you're telling me is she's incredibly stupid as well as evil?
I think you're confused between which part of a socialist dictatorship is socialism and which part is dictatorship.
Most, if not all countries have a level of socialism, US has less than say France, who have less than Norway, etc.

Poor woman. The women there have been through so much.
There's something wrong in the research here, if she had her daughter at 14, and the daughter is 14, then how can she be 26?
I got into pizza dough over covid. I currently have three different 00 flours. It's really fun to try different things though, how long you do each thing, how much of what goes in, pizza stones, baking trays, etc. I'm not at my perfect pizza yet but definitely like what I'm making.
