18 minute short film about a very social corella that adopted an entire community in the north of Australia, surfing on car bonnets, stealing cards from players, performing for food, hurling insults, teasing dogs, etc.
Not that interesting, in reality it's more common for shepherds to care for their future meals with kindness and concern than to spend their lives beating a living horse.
This woman and the crow that likes her, for example, both share a common interest in eating meat. To be fair, the crow very probably eats far more babies than the woman does.
Sure, but even so it's pretty interesting in my opinion. The amazing difference in how you treat animals depending on if you see them or not. To feel so much love to a crow that gets stuck and want to help it. Meanwhile, realistically, on the other hand she is contributing to a lot of animal suffering because she likes the way it tastes.
You can totally be friends with a chicken, and still eat chicken eggs, they don't mind. Most chickens have been bred to have little interest in incubating the eggs. Not sure how a crow would react...
Side note, I saved a few Guinea Fowl chicks from the road the other day. When I put them down next to the parents and the other chicks, one of the parents launched at me and tried to claw out my eyes. My eyes survived intact, but I had a few scratches on my ears and arms
Know your history - Australians have always loved any excuse to get out in a crowd and exercise their lungs - from the Eureka Rebellion through the Vietnam protests to defending wharfies from automation - all prior to both COVID and social media.
Alternatively, they have had multiple past submissions on personal projects that have done well on HN, often (but not always) interact, and have English as a second or third language.
That doesn’t justify promoting their own websites in almost every comment. I interact with many people who don’t have English as their first language and none of them sound like an ad. Bot or not, linking to yourself every time you interact is spammer behaviour.
The Rodenator is an applicable device that injects a precise mixture of oxygen and propane into the dens of burrowing rodents, and kills them with a concussive force that collapses the rodents' tunnel system as well.
Linear Algebra libraries, geomagnetic world models, tidal models, navigation ephemerides, ...
There's a lot of classic old school FORTRAN stuff from the 1950s that still exists albeit ported forwards.
In the nuclear DOE domain its more likely to be encoded decay tables of daughter products for coarse statistical back of envelope (with 1950s computation) guesstimates.
It wasn't until much later the US decided it could stop physical testing (above / below ground detonations) and move to sufficiently scaled and detailed digital nuclear simulations.
ACAB & ACAC both span multiple english speaking countries, predate BLM days by at least three or four decades, and are hardly idiotic in the face of documented abuses of power by rotten apples, coupled with tacit acceptance of the bad ones by their wider fraternity.
