@TLK_1983 Greater Krayt is now a subspecies of Leviathan Krayt
English
The krayt dragon in TM S2 is what’s known as a “leviathan krayt,” the largest and rarest form of krayt dragon. Few ever grow to reach this size and become leviathans.
The smaller “canyon krayt” dragons are much more common.

@Jemimasgarden @pikobi1 @PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey We should eat more pheasant though. Healthier than factory bred chickens!

A 12-year-old boy from Addlestone, who reportedly became the youngest registered beekeeper in the UK, said helping the pollinators "will be a big step in changing the world".

A generation was raised on "An Inconvenient Truth". Even then it was obviously wrong on many counts.
Children have grown up in a climate of fear. Trillions have been panic-spent. Alarmism can be a whole lot more dangerous than calmly telling the truth and admitting uncertainty.

It's the 20th Anniversary of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." NONE of his scary predictions have come true. Mt. Kilimanjaro still has snow and Glacier National Park still has glaciers. Here's why we are not doomed:

@CephalopodsRule @nvolpewild Those are still domesticated animals however and compete with wild populations/species.
English
@nvolpewild I think the case for beekeeping is very different depending on the species and location. We kept our native black subspecies in Ireland, and there's often a fierce protection of them vs buckfast or other Continental lineages

Happy for him doing this but can we PLEASE understand that honeybees are an ecological DISASTER and are not helping pollinate anything wild - they aggressively outcompete native bees which evolved to pollinate specific flowers and steal nesting hollows from native animals! 🐝❌

@PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey Because they’re domesticated livestock not wild pollinators. It would be like releasing millions of chickens into our countryside and claiming that it’s helping our bird life.
English
@Noahpinion @stoneagenathan It’s bad because it reduces biodiversity and results in extinctions. Those species would not be doing that without the aid of man.
English
@stoneagenathan Ok...why is that bad? Isn't that just what all species do everywhere?

What is the rationale for getting rid of invasive species? Is it a worry about vulnerability to pandemics?

@pikobi1 @thinksapien @AncientPuzzles @DeDunkingPast @ElonsWaifu @MattBeallPod @Gnosisinformant Why's he so obsessed with using Netflix Vikings Series GIFs? I wonder if he thinks the series is factually accurate. 🤣

@RichardHanania @YawBoaduBenjam2 That’s all well and good, if you ignore the negative externalities such as mass extinction

This is the lesson of capitalism.
You are not smart enough to know whether California should grow almonds or wheats or data centers or anything else.
So you allow the price system to function. On everything, including water. Then resources are used efficiently.
Disagree and you’ve learned literally nothing from the twentieth century.
Colin McCarthy@US_Stormwatch
Insane stat of the day: California almonds use roughly 3–5.5 million acre-feet of water per year, depending on methodology. That's ~4-7x more water than all data centers in North America used combined in 2025.

@thinksapien @Parodyite @AncientPuzzles @DeDunkingPast @ElonsWaifu @MattBeallPod @Gnosisinformant I’m curious; how often do you spend discussing the actual evidence (or lack thereof) for these missing civilisations vs whatever the fuck you are doing rn? Pages and pages of bizarre incestuous namecalling and obscure tangents?

@MartinStencel1 @natkpowell I mean Diamond's thesis is just plain wrong and Ferguson doesn't even write his own books.
Harari just exaggerates and opines on things outside his specialty.

Jared Diamond, Robinson and Acemoglu, Yuval Noah Harari, and Niall Ferguson.

sometimes I'll hear about an interesting sounding history book, and then I do some more research and learn that historians actually consider it the stupid book for morons that you should only read if you want to be wrong about everything

@Devlinside123 @HMBrough_ Not exactly a cosmic lottery; it’s one of two (of seven) continents that benefitted from Eurasias east-west axis
English
@HMBrough_ Diamond was right about the why the west was superior; he was just wrong that the west won some cosmic lottery…
IQ by race is real and carries great explanatory power

Guns, Germs, and Steel is the book that historians love to hate, because they see it as some interloper from the biological sciences writing about stuff he knows nothing about.
But for better or worse, that book is more influential than any recent work a historian has produced.

@CorpusCol @HMBrough_ It’s categorically not ignored; the east-west axis of cultural/technological/agricultural diffusion of Eurasia clearly doesn’t aid Africa to the same degree.
English
@HMBrough_ I despise it for coming up with an all-encompassing theory of history that ignores the inconvenient truth that Africa does not fit the theory at all.
There are only six inhabited continents to design the theory around, you can’t leave out one.

@thinksapien @ElonsWaifu @DeDunkingPast @MattBeallPod @Gnosisinformant Furthermore, It seems a pretty bang on comment to make as (unbeknownst to Dan F at the time), he has indeed been convicted of domestic abuse.
English
@thinksapien @ElonsWaifu @DeDunkingPast @MattBeallPod @Gnosisinformant He’s saying his tactics are similar to that of an abuser and he replies with ‘you have abused women and children’. Not comparable.

@thinksapien @DeDunkingPast @AncientPuzzles @ElonsWaifu @MattBeallPod @Gnosisinformant The war between mainstream archaeologists and the Magical global ice age Atlanteans (with zero material evidence)? That war?
