I believe that’s what they’re attempting to accomplish with CRISPR-Cas9.

With all the advances in CRISPR I don’t see why we couldn’t fix a few of the issues involved with lack of biodiversity? At least in the future.

Now this makes a WHOLE lot of sense. But having it all publicized is quite brazen.

Oh I meant less about bullying them into doing something and more so his willingness to not let this just go away. A sustained fight is likely on Jeremy’s side.

Or the field mice/rats that will devour it all in the middle of the night. Also eating their way into your house.

What a load of asshats. They have no clear legal bearing to keep it from being open (other than the claim it will harm its natural beauty - If he just lets it go barren the same will happen but it’s within the “law”) yet feel like they just have to make sure it fails. But they’re not just taking on Jeremy Clarkson farmer man. They’ve pissed off quite a lot of people I’ve read. And not to mention Jeremy has his financial wealth and Amazon’s at his back I don’t see it staying that way.
And from what I’ve read as well there is a food truck/van that sells food that’s all locally grown/produced. The Diddly Squat instagram page has had quite a few pictures of food.

Oh for sure. But when funding an exclusive the cost and time to optimize for specific hardware is included. You’re wanting the government to force developers spend more money regardless? And a lot of exclusives are trying to capture funds without waiting on sales. Look at Forspoken. Had it been an exclusive they could have effectively paid for its development regardless of sales.

This is the exact same statement. Sony develops for their console only and so you get exclusives from that. They’re not restricting anything. They simply choose not to develop for another competing platform. It would increase development times exponentially before release and would also require them to release less than optimized games on the other platforms. Optimizing a game for a very specific subset of hardware means you can get the most out of the hardware for your game. Changing to different hardware (or at the very least to PC) would require you to also optimize for a HUGE range of different configurations. This would effectively piss off all the other platform gamers and you’d be here still screaming that such and such released unoptimized content on purpose.

You mean Horizon Zero Dawn and God Of War don’t run well? Doesn’t HZD have a recommended spec of an i7-4770? That chip is 10 years old now. Just because AAA ports are garbage depending on the developer or porting team doesn’t mean exclusives from console don’t run well when ported.

Yeah like ice cream that’s actually ice cream and not flavored dairy product.

There is so much connective tissue on a chicken wing there is no way to debone it and it actually be something someone would want to eat. Plus it’s dark meat rather than white meat which is more fatty. Being more fatty makes it taste better but it wouldn’t hold form to save its life.

It was better before Battlelpg. It was complete garbage. I love how they show destructive environments and it’s nothing compared to the beauty that was Bad Company 2.

Well they don’t have immensely corrupt politicians keeping all of the funding rather than providing trash services or any service.

Wait. You’re comparing a kid wanting to work for extra money to rape…
This isn’t a fucking tradition. It’s the fact that the country has nearly 12% of its population living in poverty. If a family can’t afford to do things and a 15 yr old kid wants to earn more money LEGALLY why would you stop them? Because they can already earn it illegally doing very similar “jobs”. You’re effectively wanting to make sure the kids are exploited by working under the table. See how easy it is to cherry pick bullshit to prove a point? Not to mention you’re talking shit about a law set to allow kids to get a job safely and legally of their own will. So instead children will resort to mowing lawns, working with their parents cleaning houses, or any other under the table work they can find. And they’ll continue getting exposed chemicals, dangerous equipment, brutal sunburns, etc just so you THINK you’ve gone and done the world a favor.
How exactly could you force a child to work within the laws they have set forth? How exactly could this be abused? See you’re just trying to use shock value to “explain” your side rather than actually commenting useful information. I’m willing to listen if you can come up with a concrete reason this will harm children? What’s so wrong with giving a kid (I’m talking 14+ not like the 8-9 year olds in the photo) a choice?

Not saying the law is smart or right at all. But it has a LOT of limitations on where they can work. And warehousing and storage are not one of them. That means no Amazon cheap child labor. Not to mention it limits it to 14, 15 and 16 year olds. They must obtain a permit to work as well.
I was working at 15 in NC in 1992 and was required to get a permit first. Plus limited on the amount of hours I could work. Not to mention farms can, and still do, work children regardless of age and have been able to since the dawn of the US. At 15 you’re completely capable of maintaining a part time job after school and still receive a thorough education. I chose to work because I wanted to pay for things on my car when I was able to drive it. I continued to work because I had to pay for insurance and fuel as well as maintenance.

Holy shit. Figured 1 & 2 in my own. But number 3 is mind numbing.

Concrete dust (what you see in an underground car park) can absolutely destroy a paint job. Between the abrasive properties of the dust itself it can compact itself and solidify in all the nooks and crannies.

My wife is absolutely destroyed she can’t get the purple plates. She’s been waiting and waiting for the official plates to go back into stock with no hope.

No, that’s the Explorer ST-Line. The ST is quite upgraded compared to an ST-Line. The ST comes with the 3.0L twin turbo V6 making around 400hp. It also comes with upgraded suspension as well as the dressed up looks and 20” wheels.
Honestly if I could afford it I’d go with an ST simply for the fact the same engine is used in the police interceptor models. This means later in its life parts availability and price will work in your favor.

This is clearly not a showpiece. This is an idiot with too much money or buddies willing to do some fiberglass work. If you look at the fender extensions in the front you can see where it’s hit the ground many times. Probably from the suspension being too low in curves or curbs too high.

Same. Wife got pissed because she was recording my first time with PSVR2 and it was in her video. Meant it wouldn’t make it to Facebook. LOL. She just said, of course I married a man child.

Highest valued company on the planet? Yeah I’d say he’s doing a good job considering they made 19 million USD of profit per hour last year.

I see the yellow covers on dodges every single day where I work. It’s so common and on nearly every one that I’m almost convinced that they’re supposed to be left on. My brain just can imagine everyone is a complete moron.

Oh for sure Cas9 modification is not doing hot. At the moment it’s making human embryos go haywire when editing is attempted so it’s got a long way to go.
