Don't many police department labs have immense backlogs of dna tests to do? So much so that they skip bothering with dna on numerous things as it'll take too long? While this may be a good advertisement for dna testing and pr, isn't it taking already strapped time and money away from current investigations?

It's apparently quite common (ps4 for example) that games have multiple copies of the same file/data, as having it alongside other data on a hard drive makes it quicker to load. This means you can have dozens or more copies of the same texture (for eg) if it is used in multiple areas, but having to read it from a different location might mean a loading screen instead of a seamless transition. etc.

I looked at your source, which provides the claim but no basis for the stated "eco friendliness". If it is just based upon the colour green being involved then that is absurd. Like claiming coca-cola encourages people to be communist because their logo is red.

Yeah - they're grossly overstating lift capacity there. And even the reduced lift capacity of 4-5 pounds (in addition to the weight of the bird itself, which it also needs to lift) - it needs to be at full steam speedwise to carry that... and that would just result in the eagle suddenly having a struggling dog in its claws. How is that likely to pay off for the eagle? They're not that thick.

The wings of an eagle need to support the eight to 12-pound bird as well as whatever the bird is carrying, and best estimates put the lifting power of an eagle at four or five pounds."

My theory is that as they are evolutionarily geared to be moments away from snapping into hunting mode, they test everything in their environment in case they need to use it as a launching platform. "nope, glass of wine would not make reliable springboard, noted".

" a deeply spiritual concept was now being given a biological explanation " ... like the deeply human tendendy (some would say need) to find patterns in chaos and presume that the implausible explanations previous generations imaginitively came up with are based upon more than imagination just because we were told them at a young enough age and with enough seriousness? Life and the universe are beyond our (current or previous) level of understanding: must be a sky wizard.
