Yes.
Because brute force NEVER kills a Predator. Raw skill does. Exploiting the Predator's weaknesses, setting traps, not engaging head-on...
Fighting on its terms always results in defeat.
In 1995, a group of scientists conducted a study on the effects of various drugs on spiders, specifically focusing on the way they weave their webs. This research aimed to explore the impact of psychoactive substances on the behavior and motor skills of these arachnids
The initial motivation for the study was a request from a zoologist colleague to shift the time when garden spiders build their webs from between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., which was apparently a source of annoyance. The scientists tested spiders with a range of psychoactive drugs, including amphetamine, mescaline, strychnine, LSD, and caffeine, and found that the drugs affect the size and shape of the web rather than the time it is built.
At small doses of caffeine (10 µg/spider), the webs were smaller; the radii were uneven, but the regularity of the circles was unaffected. At higher doses (100 µg/spider), the webs were even smaller, and the design became irregular and fragmented. The scientists also discovered that caffeine has a significant effect on spiders, which is reflected in the construction of their webs.
The study revealed that nearly every drug yielded the same effects, in slightly varying degrees of non-functionality. Spiders dosed with sleeping drugs became "very drowsy," skipped spinning the longest, most challenging radial threads (those on the outer corners of the frame), and left huge gaps in their webs; Benzedrine caused the spiders to spin a spiral "that zig-zagged like an unsteady walker" and induced the inability to locate precise spots within the web; marijuana made the insects omit altogether the inner part of the web; scopolamine, which has hallucinogenic effects in humans, destroyed the spiders' sense of direction altogether.
Overall, this research provided valuable insights into the impact of drugs on spiders and their web-building behavior. While the exact analogy between the effects of drugs on spiders and humans is still uncertain, the study showcased the importance of understanding the effects of psychoactive substances on various organisms.
Context: Obama bombed ONE Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan and was condemned by the org, investigated by NATO three times, issued an apology and paid restitution to the families.
Israel has bombed EVERY hospital in Gaza including DWB and UN schools with impunity.
The Olive tree of Vouveson on the island of Crete, Greece, is one of the oldest olive trees in the world.
Scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be 4,000 years old, which means that, when it sprouted, the last mammoths were still walking on Earth, someone in China was discovering bronze casting and the seventh Egyptian dinasty was declining.
The Minoan civilization was thriving and its monumental architecture was adorning the island of Crete. The first stones of the Palace of Minos at Knossos which inspired the myth of the Minotaur were laid.
This tree saw the humans deeds for thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the artificial intelligence and, possibly the most amazing thing, it continues to produce olives at every season.
@Variety I understand if you would change up the character or some shit. Fine, whatever. But why shit on the original version by calling it lame? What an asshole. If you don't like the material, create your own. What a fucking hack.
@Variety Man, after you lot bungled Taskmaster so hard in Black Widow, the least you can do is have Echo be more comics accurate but you can't even do that eh?
The world continues to be a horrifying place with no solution in sight. Hundreds of years of cruelty leading to this moment and so many people arguing about it on twitter..... what fucking bullshit
The occupation is horrible and unjust.
Hamas is monstrous, and has been a terrible peace partner, actively harming Palestinian cause.
Netanyahu is a thug and criminal.
The kidnap, rape and murder of civilians, no matter who’s doing it, is terrorism.
Are we all clear on this?
My sister and nieces and nephews are there. They’ve been protesting BIBI for months. Fight for a two state solution. Israelis are Jews and Arabs and all colors. There is so much complexity to this. But make NO MISTAKE Hamas is a terror organization who’s mission statement is kill all Jews. This fucking world breaks my heart
Random memory; when I was 12, my favorite artist refused to sell me a piece of original art. He said I wouldn't appreciate it. At the time I didn't know what to say. He was the reason I read so many comics. I went to all of his signings. Read every book he worked on. Still stings
@ShutUpAndrosky Every time Maher makes the rounds for being his usual, obnoxious self I like to take the opportunity to repost what I refer to as, simply, "The Clip." Just a solid minute of Maher being humiliated, and exposed for the ass he is by the man himself, Roddy Piper.
