  • Actually they develop in its juvenile state when they are vulnerable to more mundane predators but are then retained for sexual selection in adulthood.

    There is only one tarrasque in existence, resulting in it taking its sexual frustration out on level 20 adventuring parties and parties that keep making fun of the lore- uh, history- of the world they grew up in.

    This is the other way around. There are some who want to push back the definition of “bird” to include more dinosaurs via earlier divergence. There are even a few that argue that certain conventially non-avian dinosaurs are actually from the agreed bird lineage but converged back on a bipedal dinosaur shape.










  • Yes! EVs still have a smaller ordinary car battery in them. It charges from the main battery in the same way in a ICE car it will charge from the alternator. If the main battery is dead, or just for some reason not charging the small battery, it can effectively act exactly as if an ICE car has a dead battery.

    Fun fact, you can also use that fact to use existing car battery to mains power gadgets in the case of a home power outage without the more complex dedicated reverse-charging that only some cars (and chargers) support, but without running an ICE in/outside your house for hours.





  • So he can still own it as a white man so long as he allows 30% to be owned by someone black, Cape Malay, Indian, San, KhoiKhoi or ‘coloured’, or indeed many people fitting any of those.

    Not because he “isn’t black”.

    Lots of countries have rules about local ownership; eg in Thailand businesses and properties have to be 51% owned by a Thai person. Of course the difference here is that for centuries the rules were increasingly enforced to treat certain races as foreigners, to the point of quite literally trying to declare parts of itself independent ie foreign. This creates a weird scenario after the fall of apartheid that is definitely uncomfortable to read but how do you undo centuries of this with carrot instead of stick when it’s people like Musk and Peter Thiel?
