My zoo buries them on the premises. I know of a camel, a moose and a few other things got buried there. They have a large plot of land that is used to dispose of organic waste like branches and trees, old compost, etc until it's full and needs to be tricked out to the landfill. They just bury the animals under the ground there.

The zoo near me a few decades ago had an accident where a lot of their reindeer got pregnant before the male could get neutered. They kept all the female offspring but they couldn't risk having two males in the same enclosure and no nearby zoos needed male reindeer or also couldn't accommodate them so they had to put them down and ended up feeding them to the carnivores in the zoo.

I wonder if prepaying would be a way to force them to help you if you have a miscarriage instead of turning women out at the door.

"I already paid for this! Get over here it's too late to say no!"

We need to try and bankrupt any company that produces fax machines.

The industry will need to adapt once fax machines aren't produced anymore.

I prefer having ballots not say what party the person is in. Then people actually have to know who they are voting for, not just blindly check a box beside R or D every time.

I always wondered if instead of a two lane road every block you could have a city where it's a four lane road every two blocks, with a single lane pedestrian/bicycle street alternating every other block there isn't a road.

Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don't need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren't navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.

My dad is the same with gas price. If gas is 156.9 cents a litre? Nah to him it's 156 cents a litre

Then leave the advertisement alone. They still print the prices on tags at each store location.

Let them send out flyers saying item A is $20 *plus local taxes but when you get to the store the pricetag on the shelf should say $23.50 or whatever the markup ends up being at that location.

Go extreme minimalist. Buy practically nothing you can live without. Boycott everything. Politicians only listen to their gdp and stock numbers.

... Are those street legal vehicles? I want to say they aren't but I don't know enough about them.

 
 
 

My PC constantly freezes if I'm not playing a game or have a game running.

✅ If I'm playing a game, it's fine.

✅ If I have a game running in the background while doing other stuff, it's fine.

❌ If I leave my PC while playing a game and the lock screen pops up, it will freeze.

❌ If I do anything other than gaming, such as browsing the web or digital art, PC will freeze.

❌ If PC goes to sleep overnight, it will freeze.

The frozen PC will typically show no error code and display will show "no input" until I hard reset.

If I hard reset, it often won't successfully turn back on unless I move the mouse while it's resetting, otherwise it will freeze again on the windows loading screen.

Sometimes I will actually get a blue screen with the error code of DPC_Watchdog_Error or something like that.

Anyone know where I should look first to try and fix this? It's been happening for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. I can't figure it out.

What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

 
 

Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it's getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also not take half an hour to set up and dismantle.

In Catan we love that the board changes every game and therefore the strategy, but found that once we got to the castles and knights expansion there was one strategy that beat out all the rest which sort of deflated the fun (first person to get science bonus seemed to win 90% of the time).

Any other board games out there for beginners that don't take forever to set up and put away? Not huge into role playing, but never say never I guess.
