THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

I had an old pair that did the same. They sadly broke years ago tho. As for the weird creature I though of it as a filter feeding benthic creature, sort of like the weird things you find in the twilight zone, but on the surface. Sorta like pre-devonian megafauna if you know what I mean.

Would an insect with an exoskeleton that contains a Capsaicin like compound and toxic blood mainly be avoided by predators due to the burning taste and toxicity of the insides?

Yes, though blood is unlikely, small pouches is more likely. Edit: sorry I was thinking vertebrate s, hemolymphmight be better at holding toxic compounds than blood or much worse, I’d have to do research edit 2: birds don’t mind capsaicin, so yeah flying bugs would be Belgiumed.

Breaking news

I heard that Amazon was planning to make an ā€œadaptationā€ of Tolkien’s Silmarillon, but then lashed out at Tolkien’s fans because they were angry about their (cough) controversial casting (cough). Some claim that the Tolkien estate has sold the movie rights to Amazon as long as they listen to their input, but I find that hard to believe. Tolkien’s son has always refused to give Peter Jackson the right to adapt The Silmarillon, which totally shows how he wants to protect his father’s work. So why would he sell the license to someone as sinister as Jeff Bezos?

You are multiple years late, I heard already like two years ago that Amazon got the rights to make a series based on the Tolkien works.

And also a an Elder Scrolls series, according to rumours

Random question that has nothing to do with this: Can you mesh a tri-band router (secondary) to a dual-band router (main)? My :belgium:ing VPN keeps blocking me out of my main router. I can only connect to an extender and the ping is terrible.

Is it a thread, about a thread, about random stuff that doesn’t deserve a new thread, or is it a thread about random stuff that doesn’t deserve a new thread?

I believe it indeed is, yes.

It is a remake of an old thread in the Ancient Forums.


Edit: haha funy

found meme


This has nothing to do with previous posts or edits and I’m about to break the rule on politics. This last edit is a tribute to Ukraine and I sincerely hope that Ukraine will stand against Russia’s authoritarian regime.

:ukraine:

You just mentioned politics? On this scientific thrive forum?

I’ll allow it this time, but let’s not have a bunch of posts mentioning it.

To quickly change subect, I have recently seen a video of a guy speaking about Spore challenges and he mentioned Narotiza who apparently made a series called ā€œPitiful worm runā€.

On a semi-related note:
