Need better damn headlines. Begging is maybe only technically correct but doesn't capture any of the emotion or self righteousness of the situation. He ordered and acted the fool. But it was chastising like "why can't you just say yes? I'm so nice to you and this is how you return the favor?"

This was in 2005 before many people (or at least me and me buddies) didn't even know his name.

When horseshoe crabs come up, I always try to mention that they are harvested (and usually killed) for their blood in the most unethical way possible. They basically pump it directly from their (version of) hearts, and as long as they're "alive" when they throw them back in the water, it's counted as ethical harvesting. Usually, they just die a few hours/days later from having their hearts punctured and much less blood available than they'd like.

Also, their blood is wholly unnecessary for medical usage. Medical companies use the amebocyte lysate in their blood to detect endotoxins, but it's pretty cheap and easy to synthesize amebocyte lysate in a lab without involving crabs. It is only being held back by the FDA because, before we could synthesize it, the blood made harvesters wealthy enough to lobby for the FDA to refuse approval of the synthetic version when it came along so they can keep pumping that blue gold. Feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong. I'm not an expert.

I've seen this one. Resurrected tomorrow.

Thanks but does anyone have a source for this? 'Reports' and 'reason to believe' are a little vague and could be fearmongering to hurt turnout. To be clear, I don't doubt this at all, but I don't trust anything with all the lies and bait nowadays.

Does this printer also leave a secret little signature with every print that can be traced back to you?

Yo, please edit this post to specify that this isn't in any way confirmed. Don't need to be making me pull my hair out over one guy with a pin.

Same vibes but serious. I give a 1 star and uninstall if an ad-supported application sends useless notifications.
