US man, 81, sentenced to six months for creating giant hybrid sheep for hunting
  • The main problem (been loosely following it for a bit) was that he essentially created a hybrid sheep with one that is invasive for the area. He for sure did it for trophy hunting, but at the risk of messing up the ecology of the areas he was putting it in. Arguably this is a kind minor fine ($20k for introducing an invasive species), so idk. The articles I've seen act mostly like it wasn't a big deal, but he was pretty blatently trying to skirt the law through the use of trying to make a hybrid.

  • Men's Underwear: Recommendation?
  • I can recommend Duluth boxers and briefs, they have a few that tend to hold you in place. They're not cheap, but they generally last a pretty long time and are comfortable. Hanes are good as well, just found they were slightly less comfortable.

  • German highway
  • Out of curiosity, have you had the issue of drivers using their phones on those roads? It's a pretty big issue in the US at pretty much any speed, wonder if it affects y'all?

  • Protestation
  • It depends. I think more than anything, people in the same socio-economic class tend to be able to emphasize easier with each other, which is why those that are wealthy can't always put themselves in shoes of someone less fortunate than themselves.

  • USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers
  • The main reason you seem to have been down voted soo much is because you said that Dejoy was the cause of the recent improvements in the postal system. While he was over the USPS during the changes, it's pretty obvious that he's not the reason for them. $22hr is decent, but it really does depend on where you live, and they do have deliver a lot of packages, so it's not an amazingly cushy job (I think a UPS driver is paid like ~$30hr in my area, although you could argue they are moving more packages on avg).

  • USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers
  • He tried to get them to mainly use gas powered hybrid ones. Which sounds great on the surface, but they basically got the same mpg as the now at least 30 year old LLVs they were replacing, just with AC. When that fact was put out, these fully electric ones genuinely just made way more sense for most postal routes. They took a long time to develop, but that's because the usps had a long list of stuff they wanted to accommodate (sounds crazy, but they seem to have actually taken a lot of feedback from the drivers).

    He also got rid of a lot of the automated letter sorting, most likely to slow mail-in voting. A lot of those sorter couldn't easily be replaced, as they were expensive machines.

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone
  • Still running a Samsung note 8, probably the biggest thing I dislike is kinda wish it was a little smaller. It might fit in my pocket better, would probably be easier to hold, and I would be fine having other devices for stuff where I need a bigger screen. Not a huge deal, but I do kinda miss having a medium sized smartphone.

  • Linux market share on the rise, 4.55%
  • Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it's gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?

  • Mushroom ID help

    Found growing in a pot with a hibiscus plant, not entirely sure how it got there but the recent excessive rainfall has made it fruit.

    Great views

    Went on the Blue Ridge Parkway this week, and had a blast! The Parkway feels amazing with the top down, and all of the curves make for some interesting driving.

    I recently took a trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway, and I got something I though y'all might enjoy along the way!
