rant time. this current drive to build new housing on brownfield sites is one of the worst things going for history, science and the environment. time and again areas that have been left to go wild and develop as a haven for wildlife are eaten up because its seen as better than using a farm field

There’s a non-zero chance that if this were a dinosaurian predator, they’d talk about how the tooth marks were probably from scavenging and how the eaten animal would’ve been too tough as live prey…even though it’s well within observed predator-prey size ratios.

A recent study found that Smilodon fed on a wide variety of megafauna at Salto de Piedra. It was an apex predator, focusing almost exclusively on megafauna.

What have I become, now that I've betrayed Everyone I've ever loved, I pushed them all away And I have been a slave to the Judas in my mind Is there something left for me to save In the wreckage of my life, my life 🎵

It's going to be hellish for so many people during this heatwave, not to mention the real risk to disabled, elderly and those of us who have to do manual labour in this weather... Yet some smiling prick in the weather forecast will tell you it's going to "be lovely and sunny"

I need to rant into the void for a minute, im sorry for subjecting people to this but i need someone else to hear it sitting with this on my chest where no one else an hear is not helping. my dad is a an alcoholic. everyone in the local community thinks he is a great guy

Woodworking rant: For the love of god stop making set-squares, rulers and other measuring tools out of fucking aluminium. Steel or iron. Shit that doesn't deform or move if you drop it, stuff I can run a scribe down without shaving bits of it off... Jesus aluminium is not good for this shit

Well now I know just how bad my dad's addiction is. He wants me to pawn my grandfather's ring. The only thing I have left of my grandfather and my dad expects me to pawn it so he can buy another bottle of glens vodka...
