They stun or kill their prey by just ramming them all eight tons of their mass, traveling at 40mph or whatever. Kind of like Tater running to the crapper after Taco Bell Tuesday.

-

Women are doing immense damage to their bodies to look like older women wanting to look younger. "Better Bachelor" released a longer video the other day and one of his segments was of a plastic surgeon trying to guess the age of the woman contestants on "Love Island". His age guesses were off by almost 10-15 years because of all the stuff women are doing to their faces to end up looking like older women wanting to look younger.

Segment starts around 40:27 if anyone's interested.

Found small skeletal remains of the couple both around the area of the kill as well as inside the bear after it was killed by rangers. The audio of it was captured on a camera the couple had just set up to record their interactions w the bears. Real smooth.

I was thinking the same thing when Mannix (?) posted a decidedly non-busty--and, non-tattooed--Asian babe in a bikini. After counting a correct number of fingers, I decided that there was a high probability that it was a real photo. Later, I ran the photo through Yandex's reverse image search and it turned out to be the very real Yumi Sugimoto.

96 Something else that's at the end of that video:

Apparently the makers of the hugely popular video game Helldivers 2 offered two missions, one planet liberating type one which would grant a new weapon upon completion , and one to save some kids with no reward. If you don't play video games or have any experience with that community, a new exclusive weapon is a pretty huge deal.

The Helldivers men (because let's be realistic) chose the mission to save the kids for no reward. So the company is donating money to Save the Children.

In a lot of the Alaska shows (there's a bunch) most natives prefer modern sporting rifles as in the evil AR.

130 I'd hope that a carefully timed and deftly tossed M-80 or three would discourage an Orca from crunching one's sailboat.

I have read some sailing accounts, where the switching on of a depth-finder to Maximum Gain has had the effect of driving the Orcas away.

While shooting 'em might seem the more direct solution, they are protected species, and you'd be in deep trouble, anywhere in the world, for so doing.

Not to mention, sailing into most any foreign port aboard a private veseel, bearing arms, will most likely see one locked up for a very long time.

Funny though, ain't it, how some of the Freighters and Tankers and even Cruise Ships, can have Arms Lockers on board, raising nary an eyebrow?

An Armed Yachtsman Treaty, worldwide, would do SO much to break the back of Piracy, so it's obvious why they DON'T want those armed cruisers!

Michael Mann and his acolytes based a lot of their claims on tree rings for a group of trees from Russia. Siberia I believe. Similarly technique but using rings from trees not ice to predict previous temperatures.

But like true scientists they only used the rings from trees that supported their thesis and discarded any trees with rings that did not.

The shorter version is the whole thing is bullshit. It's like the virus response. Only scientists who support the government mantra are supported and those who don't are defamed and silenced.

I considered making the point that you would almost have to have a sample that you provably knew was 100K or 200K years old so that you could have a standard telling you what the concentrations of the gases are *supposed* to be.
