I believe that's how the Japanese bus and/or train station workers strike.
There is no disruption to people getting to work, but a huge disruption to cash flow.
It's more sibling rivalry than hate. It's far more terrifying. It gets even more so when something actually threatens either one. Anyone who's seen the result of picking on the youngest of 3 brothers knows exactly what I mean.
Apparently, at least part of the modern version was an early discussion forum online. It was used as a fun, stupid method to train debating skills. Unfortunately, idiots stumbled in and assumed it was real. The debaters either got bored, or weirded out, and went elsewhere. The remaining people were the idiots.
It's an idea that seems to pop up a lot however. It's """Obvious""" to those who don't understand science properly.
Show me an atom of equality, or a molecule of freedom. They don't exist in the universe. Just like rights, they are a lie made true by our common belief in them.
The idea of Rights is embedded in society. That embedding has a lot of value. It stops people riding roughshod over them.
Empathy is a useful base emotion. It's one of the mental skill sets that set mammals apart from other animals (though birds also seem to have something very similar). Ants etc can coordinate, but it's hard coded. Empathy allows for the dynamic adjustments that allow for cooperative mammals groups.
Humans are just particularly good at it, since we likely used it as a hunting method. Endurance hunting requires the ability to track, if you lose contact with the prey. Empathy allows a hunter to get into the head of the prey, and so predict their actions.
Rats could have complex logical planning thoughts on enlightened self interest. Humans generally don't, however. It's a lot easier to have a drive to take low effort actions for a large gain to another. Combine that with a basic understanding of reciprocal payoff and you have basic empathy.
I'd be interested to see an experiment into spite. Tweak the experiment so that 1 rat believes the other chose not to let it out, when given the option. Will it then help when the situation reverses? Or will it spite the other rat and leave them trapped?
The greyhound brain is like a pressure cooker. If given somewhere to vent periodically, they are fine. They go off like a rocket for 10-20 minutes, then are happy to dose the day away.
This is also why lurchers (greyhound crosses) are so universally crazy. That pressure cooker has a nice big crack in it. It vents into the instincts of the cross. It can be great fun, but it requires some management to keep from being problematic.
A lot if it is selection bias. Humans prefer animals that show those traits. We instinctively understand how they are thinking/feeling, and that makes us more comfortable with it.
It's also worth noting that complex mental pathways take a long time to evolve. Nature tends to play with there tuning, rather than strip it out when unnecessary. Most solitary creatures had ancestors that formed groups. There's no reason to risk breaking useful instincts. They just get overriden by newer ones.
The dream router is an excellent base to build upon. It provides all the normal functions (ethernet, wifi, router etc) as well as hosting the control software.
Unifi's real power is when you expand it. The access points make extending WiFi coverage easy. You dont even need a wired link. It will link over WiFi, either as a primary or as a fall back. The flex mini is also quite handy. It's a little poe powered switch. I have a couple tucked away providing extra ports around the house.
With my setup, I have detailed monitoring and control down to the port or wifi device. I can monitor and control things in detail, or get a high level view of my network.
While expensive, UniFi hardware is just a huge step beyond the rest of the consumer market.
I've had literally 10x the range (5x vs 50m), in congested environments, compared to 'gaming' hardware. I actually did a side by side to test. I was shocked at the difference.
The bridging function is also a life saver. 2 LR units can get a reliable signal between each other, at ridiculous ranges.
Unfortunately, even the Halloween front is beginning to crack. Christmas has made several spearhead advances into October!
I was taught to adjust my speed until the distance is safe. Most people eventually either overtake, or get the hint and back off.
Don't break check though! It can cause people to panic and swerve, causing an accident.
For those who haven't tried it. Gingerbread houses are both a lot easier to make, and great fun. My 4 year old and I had a wonderful evening together baking, building and decorating ours.
Has anyone else tried making one this year?
All hail the lemming of Lemmy!

FYI, a kitchen cupboard full of cans is an excellent target for these. It's amazingly off putting to hope the cupboard have have the contents staring back at you in silent judgement.
Extra kudos if you manage to get a friend/relative without them realising you're a suspect.
