You can’t drill for oil in the Mojave. I am also sure that this area has little mineral wealth. So then, when it is deemed to not have merit, is it ok to protect and make a NM…

Same has happened in the past few months with negative stories in the lead up to this time of argument, pushed by meta

I wonder what movie they were watching just before they came up with that adventure plan?

Is that the average or median or the average of those that live past 1 years or so?

Turtles and tortoises often have low survival rates for the first several years then, if they survive past the cut-off age, they mostly live to be really old. But that can really skew the math on lifespan.

But also yes, if they are thriving past their lifespan in captivity that's a good sign that they can be kept well in captivity.

It can actually become a problem in Zoos because at some point many of your animals are geriatric (because good care and medical attention). Geriatric animals require more care and may not necessarily be the best exhibit animals.

Imagine the joy from a single pen stroke man…

Same thing happened to me in a cape Cod! We were getting the far edges of a hurricane and the water was rough. It was fun until it wasn’t. The water pinned me under and rolled me until it didn’t want me any more.

That dude has a sick rat tail.

i hate tik tok but THAT was a a great idea!!! our shelter puts photos and descriptions of all the animals waiting for adoption. i might forward this to them!

What does peaceful protest even mean at this point? Destroying historic monuments? Blocking ambulances? Defacing unrelated paintings? Looting stores?

Using an important issue as an excuse to disrobe yourself of any and all social and cultural limitations just seems so dishonest.

> I'm raising awareness of climate change!

Who's awareness are you raising. Climate change hasn't been a controversial issue for the general public in this country for at least a decade, if not longer.

> I'm sticking it to the government/police/bankers!

By invading art museums and blocking commuters? If you want to send a message to those in power, then go to the places that those people reside. Don't lash out at people that are completely unrelated to your frustration.

The merit and value of peaceful protest is being eroded by these pseudo-protests. What happened to boycotts and hunger strikes and chanting outside of parliament? How did we get this point where peaceful protesting is just code for "try to get arrested while holding a banner".

Guess which word the Daily Mail used when reporting this moral stand? 'Woke'.

Good news for tribe, finally!!

I had heard years (decades) ago that if you are caught in a rip tide to swim parallel to the shore until you come out of it…. Not sure if this is still advisable or if it ever was…. I guess to keep you from spending time fighting a losing battle??

ALMOST?! r/OrphanCrushingMachine.

This is why they say to approach someone drowning from behind and/or send a flotation device ahead of you otherwise they can drown you….
