Woops, you right. Didn't read carefully enough. I'll add the answer in an edit.

They jam the acorn in hard enough that you have to break the acorn to get it out. If they put it in too small a hole, though, it breaks and rots. Too big a hole and they get taken.

EDIT: clearly didn't read closely enough. PBS says that woodpecker families run security on their stashes. So they basically just attack anybody who tries stealing. So I guess the ID tech is 'eyes'.

Are those astronauts back on earth yet? No? Still stranded on the ISS? Okay...

Recommendations: if you have any technical aptitude, get a vice, pliers, wirecutters, nylon cord, and several yards of fastener wire from a local hardware store. That can solve a very large number of minor accessory problems with ingenuity. Old-school prototyping can ween you Off buying smaller "specialized" products.

Couldn't boycott it for the moral reasons? Like, are you saying you'd still support the height of shitty companies destroying their industries if they just had good UI and better deals?

Sure, he's a scumbag. His math makes sense here, though. You can be right sometimes.

Rep. David Schweikert gave a speech on the floor in the beginning of february regarding the federal debt. He pointed out that 52 billion in spending cuts only covers about a week of the borrowing we're planning to do for the budget.

All these cuts to critical infrastructure and we're only shaving off the very tip of our federal debt, while adding a mountain more of it.

Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they're going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they've done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they're all the same comic. The last big one was the "thanks Obama" meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

This isn't a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It's about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.

This isn't about leftists. The guy is dressed like a farmer, who majority voted for Trump. Trump turned around and immediately cut subsidies that small business farmers rely on, so many are now struggling. The comic is saying that they will still blame Biden despite being screwed by Trump. This could also be viewed as shorthand for any trump voter.

In reality, we've seen many farmers now communicate that they regret voting for trump. Alittle too little too late, it seems. They aren't as dumb as the comic artist paints them in that sense, just unempathetic.

Also his hands are too big in the image

Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.

We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.
