This is exactly why people shouldn’t get exotic pets. They’re cute when they’re little then when they grow owners just don’t know how to take care of them.
Mr Popper and Cobblepot have glamorized owning animals they have no right to and this kind of immitated abuse is inevitable.
I think you’re right, but wouldn’t it be funny if it were an overfed penguin improperly cared for and adopted in the first place because of Danny DeVitos’ famous bird wrangler in Batman whichever
Is there a search engine that stores generic search vector information in a p2p fashion and allows users to search so that their local and then other people’s remotes get searched in that order?
Yacy is the only one I have heard of and I hear that it is terrible. I set it up myself maybe 20 years ago when I was still on dial up and it wasn’t great, but I thought it was because of my shitty network and computer by who knows. I’m very interested in one, I have been using duck duck to but that is just a layer on top of Google afaik
Math using janky excel spreadsheets, tell drafters what we want drawings to look like, but mostly a lot of reading and writing. The secret to engineering (at least in my area) is that communication skills are just as important as technical understanding.
Yuuuup. Half the time you’re the expert* in the room and when heads turn to you you have to push the imposter syndrome down and know your shit and convey it well enough that people will listen.
And having the good sense to know when to say “I need to look that up, let me get back to you”.
Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque who emigrated to Idaho have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.
The Basque region straddles the border between Spain and France along the Bay of Biscay. On the Spanish side it consists of the provinces of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, Álava and parts of Navarre.
The Basque language, Euskara, is a language isolate - it is not related to any other known language. It is considered one of Europe’s oldest languages.
Basque sports are a huge part of the culture, especially the traditional sport of pelota. There are many variations of this court-based ball game that has been played for centuries.
The Basque language, also known as Euskara, is a language isolate and the last remaining language descended from pre-Indo-European roots after all the others were displaced during the Bronze Age. Though it borrows a lot of vocabulary from other languages now, its roots predate both Romance and Celtic languages.
Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn’t know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.
Yes, but that’s a different word. I just don’t feel it’s good enough. If they’d said something about having all your Basques in one exit, then we’d be onto something.
The edict was issued in 1615 after a storm destroyed three Basque whaling vessels on an expedition in Iceland. Eighty members of the crew survived, said Gudmundsson, and were left stranded in the area. “They had nothing to eat, and there were accounts of them robbing people and farmers,” he said.
The brewing conflict between locals and the whalers prompted then-sheriff Ari Magnússon to draw up a decree that allowed Basques to be killed with impunity in the district. In the weeks that followed, more than 30 Basques were killed in raids led by the sheriff and local farmers. “It’s one of the darkest chapters of our history,” said Gudmundsson, noting that the incident known as the Slaying of the Spaniards ranks among the country’s bloodiest massacres.
Four centuries later, Gudmundsson decided it was time to set right the wrongs of history. Last week, at the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to the Basque whalers who were killed, he repealed the decree. “This decision was made 400 years ago and it has never formally been repealed until now.”
This is horrible but I can’t help but laugh. “Okay, about 80 people are stuck here because their ships ran aground last night. No one knows they’re here, so they have no way to leave unless we help them, so the logical decision here is to simply murder them until there are none left. All in favor of this, say aye!”
I think it was more of, “hey, who the hell is suddenly robbing us?!”
They didn’t have the internet and daily news to tip everyone off. There’d just suddenly be stranded people near by, and if they decided to pillage before asking… I could EASILY see being hostile as a reasonable response. Not necessarily the KoS law, unless they really did just resort to pillaging and theft often.
Yea, I don’t envy their situation for sure. Just that it didn’t necessarily have to start from malice. As you point out, it may not have even been malice from the thieves, maybe even if they were literally stealing.
Coming from a punitive place will always miss intention.
Yea, we need a historian to tell us how it went down so we can know who to hate! … jk jk… lol the obvious lesson is do not rush to judgement, especially on assumption. Heck, it might’ve even been a very select few genuine crooks that got the rest punished by team sports attitude that sadly persists to this day.
Dude so many of you are just fucking incapable of seeing it as a joke, it’s supposed to make you chuckle, not go “well actshually”. This isn’t a legitimate argument, this isn’t something scientific article, just fucking chuckle or don’t, ffs
Then…what would be the point of the comment section? People know it’s a mediocre joke, so there’s really not much else to discuss. Without the discussion, why even visit Lemmy at all? I dont get why you would be sour about people drawing inferences and discussing them. You saw the joke and apparently you don’t think there’s anything else to discuss. Okay. So why are you even here?
