Since I don't see it addressed in the top comments, I'll explain the survivorship bias. In survivorship bias you associate good qualities to the things that have survived the longest and assign those qualities to that class of things as a whole. A great example is construction, only the old buildings that were well built and well maintained survived. All the bad construction doesnt.

Same applies for music. The hits from previous eras of music have been filtered and separated from the chaff. If you bought a bunch of random albums from the 70s, most people probably wouldnt like most of the music. My favorite example of this is Elton John. The man is a wonderful composer and performer across multiple decades. But he makes great singles, but not great albums. Everyone has a copy of Queens Greatest hits, but few people have their entire discography. Some bigger mainstream artist did produce great albums, but they still would have iffy albums now and then, and their popularity is partly because the music was good and evolutionary.

The bigger problem you face isn't the quality of music, but being forced to listen to it, which is annoying in most cases. My friends and I were in a diner getting breakfast recently and I realized the country song that was playing was just not a good song. It would be like 8 or 9 on a track listing of a decent artist, but since the Playlist was playing hits from the 70s to today there was nothing good ear catching to the song. The next few songs were different hits and it was self evident why they were good. But this one country song was so much filler noise it annoyed me the rest of the day.

Anyone blasting their music in a shared public space is an asshole. But that has nothing to do with the music.

So it doesn't take much practice or experience to find leaving blood in the body, especially when cooked is pretty unpleasant. Draining the blood is common pretty much world wide for meat, as is letting it rest to have the rigor mortis dissipate.

Ironically though, depending on society, butchers may be considered a profession for the lowest levels in society. I believe in Japan's social stru ture for example the butchers and leatherworkers were lowest level.

You may not know the entire history here, and that's fine. After WW2 UK allowed commonwealth citizens to freely immigrate to the UK to meet the manpower shortage after the war. They hand waived any official immigration documentation and just let people come. Recently cracking down on immigration they started exporting everyone who didn't have official record of immigration, including people who have spent decades of their life in UK as well as their children and grandchildren who have only ever know UK life. It's a cluster fuck of epic proportions. But that's what Racist fascists do.

First ABC is an idiot for at least not linking the tweet, but who knows what Elon Musk is charging for that these days.

Second, I don't know anything about the current Mexican President but it reminds me of the Mexican-American mom of one of my friends sharing photos she's take of mystical things. I respect her for it, and so I guess I respect this President for it.

The best way is to get all the old guys out of power on power sides. The younger generations just want peace and are tired of conflict. Young leaders are the best hope for peace before they get indoctrinated into ongoing meaningless death and destruction. There's clear patterns of escalations and tensions everytime there's an election coming up or political disunity.

There's actually precedent. Mustangs are a feral invasive species that deplaces local native species but they're protect because they're pretty. Whichever federal agency does monitor the herd and will conduct culls if they're population is getting too large and causing them to get sick.

Fascinatingly horses primarily evolved in North America but moved east while humans moved west, although there's a tribe of Native Americans in Canada who report having a traditional horse species for hundred of years even predating Spanish landing in Mexico. Unfortunately genetic tests if the remaining member of the herd isn't possible to disprove due to cross breading. There's also no example of remaining wild horses in the world, just like there's no wild cows. Part of the issue is domesticated horses getting loose and interbreeding. Honestly it's surprising Wolves have remained, although as a predator I'm sure it's easier to remove wild dogs.

I could understand waiting to verify the caller was a police defective or even to wait on a possible warrant, I'm sure a judge could be interrupted to sign and fax a warrant in the afternoon. (After all, stalker can be police officers too) Asking for payment though is pretty bad.

Yep. And there was promise that prices would start to come down with AMD getting competitive on CPUs again. What ended up happening was Intel and AMD started increasing power consumption on CPUs to get even more clocks, and higher power draw means higher quality components. Then with the supply issues (even motherboards have on board chips) due to Pandemic price gouging became the norm, and Everyone was okay with it

However there's an issue with emergency signage. Red is the color of danger, stop, while green is safe, go. Exit signs in areas of low literacy are green and green are becoming more common in the US to be more inclusive of people who can't read.

They've actually needed to start updating coordinates of the markers due to continental drift in some places. They can be off by centimeters which can be ginormous legal fights.

The idea of markers to track boundaries goes back thousands of years. There are Biblical laws about not removing boundary markers.

Are we sure they're not subspecies? To me, so long as members of each subspecies can produce genetically viable offspring, they're still subspecies. I don't think it should matter if there's distinguishing features or geographic reasons why the two groups don't mate, the defining characteristic has got to be genetic. So wolves and dogs are subspecies that haven't fully diverged yet, but lions and tigers or horses and donkeys are clearly different species.

Biologists like to name species or whatever, and biology is rife with bad toxonomy and organisation because it doesn't want to rely on objective measurement that can undermine the accomplishments of leaders in the field. And that's bad science. If science achievements can only progress one funeral at a time, then the scientific achievement is broken.

The first Gen air to air missiles were unreliable resulting in the Top Gun program. Today the air to air missiles are so good, the enemy will still be looking when they lose a wing.

This specific AR program was doomed to fail. Just look at Army procurement the last few decades, and those aren't bleeding edge technologies. Processors and responds times simply aren't fast enough yet, the battery life isn't there yet in a convenient package. However the fact is every game knows how powerful effective hud elements can be to gaining an information advantage. Whether it's integrated target tracking with squad mates and weapon systems, to just seeing things easier. Near peer states are going to have night vision and infrared vision. Soldiers won't be able to use infrared lasers without giving away positioning. A reticle in your hud for your rifle can give significant advantage.
