Bones and tendon attachment points give us a clue as to their weight. Plus, no escaping the square cube law, they could only be so massive.
Earth seems to have topped out with the Blue Whale. Guessing the fatty pictured would mass more and not have the benefit of being suspended in water. :)
Oh for fuck's sake OP. I have never in life heard gimp used that way. One might be limping a bit and say, "My hurt leg's still a little gimpy." If one were back in time by several decades.
Where are you from? This isn't a thing in America.
We're not talking about your cousin's sketchy moonshine here.
Are you afraid to get out of bed? Falling 2.5' imparts more energy to your body than getting shot with a .45ACP bullet.
Seriously, how does one navigate the world calculating every bad thing that could occur? Scooping a speck of mold out of my jam doesn't move the needle on my risk meter. I cannot live in a "zero risk" world.
Walked a 2-mile round trip to the store today, orders of magnitude more risky than flicking a bit of mold out my jam. And BTW, I have "emphysema light", doctor's words. I'm not exactly a tough guy.
How will you react when faced with real risk? I've saved my own life twice, arguably three times. Will you curl into a ball? "NOAWW! The jam might blind me!"
Having some science education, I choose not to live in fear.
I could step out to check my mailbox and get smeared by an inattentive driver. In all seriousness, I'm more afraid of slipping in my shower and breaking my neck. Instant death or living out my life having a nurse dig shit out of my ass? (My niece did that for a living.) Not too worried about a little mold in my jam.
Some y'all's "risk vs. reward" mechanisms are utterly broken. Can't blame ya! We didn't evolve to calculate risk in the modern world.
tl;dr: Take risks. Life is not worth living in fear, not worth calculating infinitesimal odds.
MTG is the weirdest politician I've ever seen. I honestly can't decide if she's stupid, wily as a fox, playing games and, uh, winning or losing? Considering how she got into office in the first place, I know she has zero morals, but other than that, I got nothing.
Speaker Johnson can't swear in our new Congresswoman from Arizona as she'd be the deciding vote in releasing the Epstein files. May not even need that single vote as Republicans seem to be ready to jump shit, get ahead of the coming fiasco. "I voted to see the TRUTH!"
As another was commenting earlier, seems the whole thing spun out of their control and the "blame the Dems" ain't workin' out so hot.
Pretty cynical take, but I was wrong in saying our masters would never let us starve. Even a cursory view of revolutions should clue them in.
Let's go with martial law, get it over with. The military is largely civilian, and everyone involved has family and friends. Not going to go as they expect. (What I mean is that civilians walking off the job instantly cripples maintenance, supply chains, advisors, all that.)
Yep, got out of control on him, exactly as you say.
But I disagree that Congress is clueless here. They know, they're gambling on pushing the "Democrats are the problem!" message. FFS, they're putting that exact message on federal websites! Said message isn't really catching on.
Wrong again, I always said our corporate and government masters would screw us out of everything but food. Circuses all day! But circuses must come with bread. Humans will put up with about anything as long as we know where our next meal is coming from. (LOL, I have a hard time suspending disbelief when reading/watching fiction; How is our hero to EAT?!)
12.3% of the population on SNAP is a significant number. Considering you have to be 130% under the poverty line to apply, Haysus, that's a lot of mad, desperate people.
I played football with my friends growing up so I used to appreciate watching it a bit. Football used to be daring, sometimes amazing, now it's like plays are decided by algorithm, boring. But ultimately, I'm just not interested in seeing other men fight.
I love kayaking, learn some things watching others do it on video, no care to see kayak competitions.
Scoop it out and go on with your day. I'd only toss it if it tastes or smells funky, even a bit. Just tossed a jar of salsa after skimming spots of mold off the top for months, exactly as yours. Not because it was unsafe to eat, it just sucked as salsa and I felt it was getting more and more untrustworthy. Jam is going to be somewhat like honey, too much sugar for anything bad to get a deep hold.
Anyway, none y'all are going to survive another worldwide depression. "Er mer gerd! THROW IT!" Your great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents are laughing at you. I'll be in the woods out back, eating live minnows and fighting the deer over acorns.
I think that was a House of Atreides thing more than the Bene Gesserit space MILFs.
