  • As i understand the current consensus on Spinosaurus:
    • it walked on all fours, not on two legs.
    • it was probably similar to a giant croc as is mouth is design for catching fish.
    • the tail looks like it could be used for swimming, but didn’t have the muscle attachments for croc/gator tail swimming.
    • which is weird because that should put it in an ideal situation to give fantastic skeletons(similar to the duck billed dinosaurs), but we barely have any. Worse is that the most complete skeleton was destroyed by allied bombing in WW2.
    • and all of that raises the question of what the hell was the sail for. Since that doesn’t make sense on an aquatic ambush predator.
    • moreover, the sail wasn’t a one-off, but a feature of half of the spinosaurids, so it was selected for. So it served some useful purpose.


    1. Tea quality really matters. Almost all of the supermarket stuff in ultra fine bags is literally the leftover dust from actual tea making. (Looking at you, Tetley)

    2. Steep time and water temperature. Oversteeping make it bitter, which is unfortunately how most older people grew up serving it. Some teas need 5 minutes at 95C(Rooibos); other need a minute at 80C(most greens)









  • Nah, Harper and his Reform party spend two decades worming their way into Canadian politics by at first showing their hand in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then learning to hide it and play it slowly. Any time any of their cult played their hand in the 2000s it was always an “outburst” or “temporary error in judgement”.

    They then conned the existing sane conservative party into “merging” with their their smaller party, and through cheating the internal politics of the combined party and pandering to the GOP, got the funds to crush the sane conservatives at the federal level.

    It has nothing to do with social programs. Has everything to do with a decades long plan to push politics rightward into accepting extremism.


  • Not just late stage capitalism(which is really just a return to oligarchies)

    You want to know how this is all being pushed: look into the “International Democrat Union”

    It’s led by the christian-fascist and former Canadian prime Minister Stephen Harper. He’s giving them the aid and policy directives they’re using to trick people into voting for them.

    It’s why Pierre Polievre, current leader of the federal opposition in Canada, wants to talk about anything other than India’s assault on Canadian sovereignty. Because Modi, him and Harper are really tightly knit.


  • In my experience of using the traffic inspection tool fiddler: for https sites you have to have it add its own self signed cert to be able to see traffic.

    Firefox, out of the box, detects it immediately and warns you of a security issue, not letting you do anything.

    Chrome, and chromium based browsers,
    don’t even notice it and happily let you do what needs to be done.

    I’ve had the experience of a few sites not working recently in Firefox, one of them explicitly stated an ad server was blocked because of xss settings and refused to load. Chrome didn’t care.
