I was actually thinking of turkey, but wrote duck instead. I laughed out loud at the thought of my cat trying to take down a wild turkey.

Ha, I forgot about insects! We also need to add spider and house centipede to the lineup.

Yeah, I’m having a hard time being upset about this. Of course, it depends on the FL and municipal governments having correctly done the revenue math and being responsible enough to handle the transition and long-term spending well enough, which are probably pretty tall orders for them.

This could just be a poorly planned play to cut services, in disguise.

It’s important to the ruling class that we always be at each others throats instead of working together. If any divisions among us can be found, they are amplified by the media.

A “Master Key”

CDs and DVDs have rainbow reflections because the “parallel” (parallel on the scale of the wavelength of light) rows of pits create a diffraction grating.

The rings in the picture are Newton’s Rings, as pointed out in comments. There are a different set of rings for each wavelength of light and since they don’t all line up you get this rainbow effect.

Military school. It’s like a boarding school with a strict discipline theme. Not the actual military.

Are you Dutch? Historically, Dutch engineers have handled some pretty impressive mountainous civil engineering projects.

I can do this too, but I still use hearing protection because I’m not sure how well it it actually works at preventing damage

Two points of contention:

1. Hunting for sport isn’t ethical in any form. There’s no way to say that killing for fun is an ethical activity. Which is not to say that hunting is unethical, even if you have other sources of food available, as long as you (or somebody) are eating what you kill.
2. If you’re going to kill for food, it’s most ethical to do it in the most painless way possible. I would argue that this assertion makes hunting more ethical than most modern forms of farming. But making things more “sporting” isn’t ethical if you start using tools or methods that you’re not skilled with (and likely to wound or maim instead of cleanly killing). If you’re killing something to eat it, don’t torture and play with it, just kill it.

If Trump was a foreign asset, would he have done anything differently?
