Reply to comment by Want_To_Live_To_100 in First cheetah cubs born in India since extinction 70 years ago by thethpunjabi
They were locally extinct. Cheetahs used to live in India, but went locally extinct on the continent.
Individuals from Africa have now been brought in to try to re-establish the species.

Reply to Kabul’s only library for women closes due to Taliban threats and harassment by SinbadMarinarul
This is what the people and women of Afghanistan clearly want or 10,000 Taliban wouldn't have overrun an army. Omg they werent getting paid, omg no air support. To hell with Afghanistan. Theyre literally what reddit thinks southern Christians are. The "good guys" lost so quick the Pentagon couldnt believe it. Just don't fly planes into our cities and youre welcome to be as backward as you want. Literally ask any American soldier about Afghan National Army guys. They were useless and deserve what they get. No amount of vice documentaries will convince me otherwise. We gave them planes, tanks, and guns. 3 thousand American kids are dead for either the most ungrateful people on earth, or they always wanted to be medieval

AFAIA there is no legislative requirement for the Red Tip in Australia, however it is strongly encouraged. How long before some states ban toy guns altogether is another mater altogether

It still takes centuries for the Thwaites ice to enter the sea after the ice shelf collapses. One of the scientists who spends months at a time on that glacier literally said she would only see some of it disappear in her lifetime.

Seems they are going after him with firearms charges. NSW leans HEAVILLY into the appearance law parts of the NFA I believe. Wonder if the "But it isn't a firearm" argument would fly. I am presuming it wouldn't as they are arguing it could have the "appearance" of a prohibited firearm and that is enoughl.

correlation =/= causation. Just because there is a a video about guys storming into a womens college in India, doesn't mean everyone in India does it.

Yeah, sorry that I wasn't very clear in my original message. I had friends over there, including one that did three tours just being out of the national guard. I hate the whole existence of us being there.

Precisely there to get rid of the Taliban and they failed miserably. 20 whole years and still the Taliban exists to make lives worse for the people of Afghanistan. Lives of soldiers lost for nothing.

> isolated from dangerous contamination like e-coli and other bacteria
Stop parroting pseudo science and learn the facts. Most varieties of e-coli are not harmful to people, but since it's presence indicates that harmful bacteria is present it's used as an indicator of danger.
Do you really think all of humanity's food can be grown in buildings? And "isolated"... Go watch Fantastic Fungi and educate yourself. We are part of a web of life with a proper balance between organisms. Hydro facilities spend all their time fighting infections

The USA was never over there or in any war in the last 70 years for any other reason than to make people like Dick Cheney and the like, wealthy. Period. We go to war for profit. Nothing else.

And for what? They're not defending their homeland against an invader, they're just being sent to the slaughter, or to come back physically/emotionally scarred.
