Have done this twice recently. Did not own shares in either company outside of likely ownership in 401ks or index funds. They don’t check. Ridiculously effective.
I wonder how this could apply to American health insurance companies, where the company is very open about how diametrically opposed the interests of their investors are to the interests of their insured. I can’t even figure out how I would phrase my displeasure as an investor that the dirtbags at Anthem are denying vital healthcare to their “customers.” I suspect they’d reply “You’re welcome!”
Grew up with a few guys who made pro teams and travel didnt help any of them or any of the other schlubs like me. Many of the best guys didnt even do travel for money or other reasons. We would have been better off playing at the park on the weekends.
I asked a French friend who comes from a long line of hunters. He'd never heard of it either. There are quite a few French woodcock preparations that include eating the guts, but I've never heard anything about tapeworms. I've also cleaned quite a few American woodcock, and I have never seen a tapeworm in the innards.
“Destroyed” forest are perfect Warbler habitat—at least for the Kirtland’s Warbler which requires dense areas of young jack pine. That means either fires or logging are essential to their survival. So if you mean don’t pave over forests, then yes. But logging done properly is essential for a lot of species.
> But logging done properly is essential for a lot of species.
Hard disagree here. These species survived in niches carved out by forest fires and ruminants that keep open grasslands, prairies, and other in-between states from endlessly sprouting forests. Obviously they survived for millions of years before man came to North America.
The natural carbon cycle where trees grow, live, reproduce, then die and decay, to be food for endless levels of fungus, insects, worms, grubs, etc, which in turn feed birds, snakes, frogs...I could go on, but I think you miss how utterly disruptive it is just to remove the dead tree trunks from an environment.
Sustainable logging looks OK in the 50-100 year timeframe; it's one of many lies we tell ourselves. If it worked for Grandpa then it'll work for us. Maybe the soil quality holds up in the long run, maybe not? But make no mistake, logging has a vast impact and permanently alters ecosystems. Do logged forests slowly decline over centuries as their soil is depleted? Hmm...
There’s a TikTok account that shows up in my feed from a lobster fisherman with a series called “Will It Fish?” where he tests Baird suggested by his audience. I find it quite enjoyable.
An IM with repeating <h1><br> tags until you hit the character limit was good for about 30 seconds of lag/freezing on the Mac client. 10 of those in fast succession would pretty much make you have to restart your computer.
The YouTube Kids AppleTV app is also horrible. It freezes and needs to be restarted constantly immediately after opening.
But even worse is that there is no way to quickly rewind or fast forward. You can only use the skip 10 seconds buttons. So if my son watches half of a show and wants to watch it again a week later, the show starts where he left off. I end up having to click the remote about 200 times to get back to the start. I upgraded to get rid of ads, which has made the experience much better, but the UI is really infuriating.
In 7th grade my English teacher had us each put together a book on grammar. I used "The Far Side" cartoons to illustrate all of the rules that I had learned. I wish I could link to it, but the only copy, a hard copy, is somewhere in my parents' basement or attic.
