That's what I originally heard. And then I heard for mammals that run, we are. So idk which is true.

For running mammals, we rank quite high in endurance.

Thank you. Wasn’t meant to be offensive. Just not as often used as line.

Every online video game says "in queue", we even naturally say "queue up a song" it's not such an outlandish word that we can't figure it out in context haha

Thanks, OP. I appreciate the support.

Coolest thing about horses is that they are basically running on their evolutionary equivalent of their fingertips/toe tips.

Most people would be in one mind about it, “no that’s my scarf I want to keep it”, so being in two minds about isn’t a bad thing at all.

I don’t “get in line” for an online game

Mmm.. Ok. Checks out.

I meant horses having incredibly weak legs....OP said that elephants have sturdy legs because they have to carry a lot of weight and mice have small legs because they don't. Horses are a counter to that statement.

Also bad for for power/internet outages, one fast food restaurant I used to work at had problems with their debit/credit payments almost twice a month due to connection problems

It actually isn't that much when you break it down by bodyweight like OPs initial showerthought.
A quick Google tells me a horse kick is, on the higher end, about 2000 pounds of force per square inch. Another quick Google search says the average, non-trained adult human male kicks at about 1000 pounds (though I found a video of a MMA fighter kicking @ 2400). Depending on how the person is kicking (toe, heel, flat) the PSI will shift, so let's say 2 square inches for a forward kick with point of impact being toes or shoe-tops. 500PSI, or 1/4 of a horse.
Google puts the weight of an 'average' horse (I know this is super variable but since I went for the high end kick strength it's hardly going to be a Shetland pony kick...) at about 450-500kg, which is more than 4x a standard male.
OPs premise of kick strength per pound holds up for human v. horse.

Almost, but if you zoom in to the model on a lower resolution screen, you are still hindered by fewer available spaces for the mouse to move when at the limits of the near clipping plane of the camera. The size of the screen doesn't matter.
To take it to extremes, at the exact point before a surface disappears "behind" the dollied camera, having a denser pixel grid of 3840x2160 (8.3 million) pixels to move vertices within, is better than a monitor of the same size thats limiting you to 80x60 (4800 pixels). The whole film will be ruined if that vertex is off .00006mm 🤣

For sure. At any dolly level though, if you zoom in on low vs high res monitors, the higher res screen will always have more precision before the cameras near clip pane prevents seeing what elements you are moving (and at the highest zoom level, the higher screen has more steps available to move around) 🤣😂🤣
God I love how pointless my post and arguments are in this 2023 tech space, but everyone knows when the shot hits the theater, everyone will know that lack of .0001 mm will ruin the entire film 😂

You let one grasshopper stand up to us and they all might stand up. Those puny little grasshoppers outnumber us a hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!! It's not about strong kicks! It's about keeping those grasshoppers in line.

I wonder if it's partially because we're bi-pedal and most other animals are not so most carry their weight dispersed on 4 legs whereas all our weight is carried on 2, building strong legs. Kangaroos, ostriches are also bi-pedal and have strong ass legs.

Or a barbeque queue. Or BBQQ. Get more and you can name ‘em; BBQQA, BBQQB….. The one after BBQQP would be BBQQQ. Say the letters out loud and you’ll sound like some sort of sci-fi gun.

Correct but a display size doesn't translate to a desktop size. I could only have 640 horizontal steps but if I'm zoomed to a region of desktop which could be 1920x1080 then I'm increasing the accuracy of what I can do the further in I go.
I know it's stupid example and I know what you mean. However it is possible to do high precision in low resolution.
Also you can also use software to change the influence amount that one pixel.of mouse movement translates to within the application. (Sensitivity)

You may not turn their life around with your $20 gift, but you might buy them a sandwhich, and some reason to stay in a heated place for a while. That's definitely helping. Helping does not equal fix everything forever.
