I’ll def admit I didn’t read the article. I read the headline and imagined a forest of fake Christmas trees

what the fuck?!!! why would they steal children, thats so evil!!!! omg

It’s got electrolytes!

You love to see it!

Wait, that's what they're trying to avoid

badumtisssss

Does it decompose like regular wood or just leads to more forever waste?

Which city?

The 20+ people who upvoted this idiotic comment also didn't even attempt to read the article.

> Unless the bulk of that energy comes from renewables, they are doing nothing to fight climate change.

The exact same refrain we hear from naysayers for any new technology. The electricity grids are already rapidly changing, why would we wait for them to be fully changed before trying to replace our other technologies?

You're also incorrect, because this isn't to replace regular wood - it's to replace concrete, which is CO2-intensive to produce.

Yes, but it's not strong enough for the types of buildings they're trying to construct.

Why does everyone read about new developments online and just presume that people who've researched this stuff for years haven't heard of x or y super basic thing?

A park is so much more nice. You can visit each year on your anniversary.

Clw bridges are dumb; clw buildings with waterproofing membranes are good

I don't know how genetically close they are to other owl species. However if they are capable I wouldn't rule it out

With the engineered, you can build much taller wooden buildings. Which, in turn, captures more carbon and means that wood is used instead of cement

His species does not live in New York and hybridization is pretty unlikely so prob not

Except that they've basically created thousands of enemies and stashed them within their own borders. Now the people who've stolen these children will have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of their lives. This will not end well for them.

I remember my town the service was so piss poor and degrading over the years that we had service outage going all the way up to the local governments effecting several counties.

So the city was threatening to get the state AG involved, so the middle managers eventually got into contact with them, scheduled a meeting with the mayors and gave them essentially the customer service version of "deal with it".

We're now apporving Fiber to be installed from a company outside or the state.

Of our city.

Is this is how the owl infestations of Futurama got started?

And yours comes across as “where’s my tinfoil hat bro”

Brawndo. It’s what plants crave!

I had hoped that I wouldn't need to put /s after my comment, that the humor would've been apparent. I meant it as a joke "only saving lives" being the punchline, of sorts.

I meant it in the way that we live in a world where beauty and vanity are so much more important than actual important things. For example, teachers making tiny salaries for dozen have hour workdays, 7 days a week while celebrities and athletes make sometimes tens of millions a year.

My comment was supposed to be a joke. :*(

:D

If he's doing fine on his own, it's good that he can be free. And hey, since he's hanging out in a park, people will still be able to enjoy seeing him.

Its genocide by definition.

Happy to hear they worked things out.
