Yeah, they needed a shitload of money to pay Bobby Kotick apparently.
Get off my lawn!

It’s just depressingly vulgar.

Sperm whales rattle off pulses of clicks while swimming together, raising the possibility that they’re communicating in a complex language.

Ever since the discovery of whale songs almost 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their lyrics. Are the animals producing complex messages akin to human language? Or sharing simpler pieces of information, like dancing bees do? Or are they communicating something else we don’t yet understand?
In 2020, a team of marine biologists and computer scientists joined forces to analyze the click-clacking songs of sperm whales, the gray, block-shaped leviathans that swim in most of the world’s oceans. On Tuesday, the scientists reported that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet.”
People have a pho-ne-tic alphabet too, which we use to produce a practically infinite supply of words. But Shane Gero, a marine biologist at Carleton University in Ottawa and an author of the study, said it’s unclear whether sperm whales similarly turn their phonetic sounds into a language.
“The fundamental similarities that we do find are really fascinating,” Dr. Gero said. “It’s totally changed the way we have to do work going forward.”
Since 2005, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have followed a clan of 400 sperm whales around Dominica, an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, eavesdropping on the whales with u
I miss the Amiga 500 in that list. ;)
Man I love Bonobo, I am lucky to have played the game Sleeping Dogs otherwise I never would have known him.
In the UK there is the “Too good to go” app.
I save a lot of money on groceries this way and provide others as well. You pay a third of the original price.
Because that is what I observe, there is no joke or silly thing in here to me.
My friend has a French Bulldog. Dog Henry has a great personality but he should have no offspring as he is in constant peril for air because breeders thought money. It is heart wrenching to look at.
Off course that dog is uncomfortable, it is miserable and should not exist. Skull too small for it’s brain, just look at its eyes popping out of its skull. Still humans think it so cute. Some dog breeds should not exist. I feel sorry for it.

Yeah this is pretty fucked up, looks like bigotry to me
We like chrome here as much as a vampire likes sunlight.
I must confess I rushed the first playthrough and was not happy with the outcome. Second playthrough with DLC and paying attention was satisfying. I am looking out for Outer Worlds 2 which is in the making.
I pay 0,07€ international, vice versa is free roaming.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I wouldn’t rush it and go through every region on the planets with care so you pick up all missions, meet all the NPC’s as the game has several outcomes from the choices you make.
What are you paying for SMS? I pay 6 euro a month for unlimited sms and calls and 2 GB data. 50+ mobiel is my provider. Now they offer my plan with the first year for 2,5 euro. Dirt cheap.
Yeah I wondered how I could register the same username for kbin social and kbin earth. Which Rick am I talking to? The pickle one? Anyone can assume your identity
PC. I only touched my series X lately to clean the dust off.
I like modding games and just a few games support mods on Xbox. I bought it when graphic card prices went up astronomically. After I got me an 6750XT haven’t played on the Xbox. Also older games run @30FPS or some half assed resolution on Xbox. Meh.
I put in 1300 hrs into fo4 just for the settlement building. With mods though.
