The best gifts are the ones you make yourself, right?

brief summary: every one of those citations is a different thing where he lied, stole or faked something.

Ahhh, so that’s why I was always so bad at physics

Who is that, and why is that, your night ask. Well, here’s the relevant wikipedia quote. Reference numbers maintained, because damn, that’s a lot of them.

The success of Birds of America has been marred by numerous accusations of plagiarism, scientific fraud, and deliberate manipulation of the primary record.[33][68][103][66][104][105] Research has uncovered that Audubon falsified (and fabricated) scientific data,[58][106] published fraudulent data and images in scientific journals and commercial books,[33][68][103][105] invented new species to impress potential subscribers,[68] and to “prank” rivals,[58][106] and most likely stole the holotype specimen of Harris’s hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus harrisi) before pretending not to know its collector, who was one of his subscribers.[107] He failed to credit work by Joseph Mason, prompting a series of articles in 1835 by critic John Neal questioning Audubon’s honesty and trustworthiness.[108] Audubon also repeatedly lied about the details of his autobiography, including the place and circumstances of his birth.[109][110] His diaries, which might have cleared up some of these issues, were destroyed by his granddaughter, who published a doctored version that realigned the “primary” record with some of his false narratives.[105]

On the contrary, this is top shelf humor

A strange joke, but quite charming

I also STRONGLY doubt over 200.000 Jenga sets are sold yearly in the US.

Several decades, in fact

Yeah, 70 bucks buys a LOT of disposable ones though. It’s probably worth it at some point, but not at my amount of abrasive filament use.

And if you do print aggressive abrasive materials, remember to either get a super expensive hardox nozzle, or just throw them away after each print. Woodfiber will murder any nozzle.

Gotta say though, your nozzle mostly looks dirty, not worn out (much)

No, very much no

Does anyone have that map on the right? It looks cool

Surprise, Space Karen, places other than the US have actual employee protection laws.

Loaf taste gar

But that’s what I said…

Double Masters, gold Olympic medal, and probably younger than me to boot.

I’m not envious, you’re envious!

when selectively breeding we can breed for traits which we are not guaranteed to actually get, and it takes a few decades (plus health metrics and research once complete).

Nobody will make you confirm your randomly bred variant is actually healthy, or even non-harmful, and you can sell it without publishing a thing.

Selective breeding modifies the genes, so… No.

Indeed.

That blue bar is extremely pessimistic. Humans can survive pretty well with 15% oxygen, and do so in several places in the Andes mountains, China and India. I wouldn’t recommend doing it without lengthy acclimatizing, especially not considering my last paragraph, but it’s completely survivable by itself.

Humans also don’t really have a problem with 25% oxygen, although that will definitely bring down the life expectancy.

On the other hand, note how those pointers talk about giant insects, megafauna and other scary things. Those are a much bigger problem than the air you’re breathing.
