  • California high-speed rail price tag jumps to $231B, nearly seven times 2008 estimates

    Jump

  • I would love for someone to show a realistic and viable path for this project, but at this pointin time, CA's high speed rail is effectively vaporware. There's literally zero proof to the contrary.

  • Really bad marketing campaign

  • "The Crack Combo" sounds better.

    Would you like any condiments or napkins for your KFC crack combo?

    Yes. I'd like 3 BBQ, 3 honey and 15 crack packets please...

  • Pineapple for $2.24

  • I grew up on a small farm doing this, but have since given up the practice in favor of tumbling composter bins for two distinct reasons:

    1. Rodents eventually live in 100% of them where rodents exist and it's immensely unhealthy to humans.

    2. Insects in general are attracted to them and I personally dislike giving certain invasive species any additional food sources.

    Tumbling compost bins may not be as easy to maintain, but they definitely get rid of both undesirable insects and animals.

  • Yawn Eared Owl

  • Fun fact: If an owl sees you yawn they may involuntarily yawn as well.

    Yawning is a very old trait dating back to common ancestors.

  • Light or Chemical pollution will cause blue and green washing of nighttime photos.

    Light pollution messes with your camera's white and black balance settings. Similarly, airglow (natural light in the upper atmosphere) will also cause this, but usually only during long exposure shots or in the 3 hours near dawn.

    Chemical pollution on yhe other hand can cause the entire spectrum of colors to show in nightime shots. Every chemical has a color signature.

  • Peacock terrorises 92-year-old Suffolk farmer's chickens

  • Yup, I can confirm this as well: They taste like a dried up chicken that sat in the oven too long.

  • Male Peacocks change from being rather passive to immensely territorial during mating season. This is probably why it became hostile.

    My neighbors raised Peafowl for over a decade as both food (meat) and feathers, which are rarher prized by clothier's and hobbiests.

    Personally, I hate Peacocks; their mating calls go on all night long and will ultimately make everyone hate them.

    Sincerely, listen to this and then imagine it repeating every 10-15 seconds literally all night long between April and September:
