Especially crows. I tried to befriend one in my back yard by tossing it a slice of bread, but it was disinterested. I think it would be awesome to form a symbiotic relationship with one...I give it food, it brings me baubles it thinks have value.

I love watching animals play. Do you happen to know the species of that bird?

Ukraine Conflict - "An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war"

Trench warfare...wow. I suppose it will be morbidly interesting to see how that works out for them in todays age of pinpoint accurate artillery. Those poor conscripts are going to need more tampons. -
Yeah, saltwater shows no mercy. Unfortunately, their own website doesnt describe the construction materials, but theres a cool YouTube short which shows a real life one in action: AWS Waveswing trials exceed expectations - AWS Ocean Energy Imagine deploying fleets of them offshore to just produce energy 24/7/365. Amazing.

I dont think Ive ever seen Banner-Hulk in a fight so Ive got a random question. You know how normal Hulk gets stronger and stronger the "madder" he gets, with seemingly no upper limit (World War Hulk). Is Banner-Hulk at a "fixed" power level? Being his genius persona in a Hulk body, he will never be able to "lose his mind" and go full raging Hulk, right? Or does anyone have a link of Banner-Hulk fighting something? -

Right, but youd think he is concerned about winning the war. Ffs, if the article is to be believed, the professional army is back on the 3rd(!) line. Lol, what. -

^Its crazy to me that they just scoop people off the streets, hand them an AK-47 and a set of fatigues, and dump them on the front line. I mean jeez, at least send them through some form of a truncated basic training. Conscripts will never be a match for a professional army (unless you have a Billion to bumrush with) but this is just a meatgrinder. -

I cant bring myself to watch it, and I probably wouldnt watch He-Hulk either. I like my Hulk's to be smashy and the smart Banner-Hulk (and She-Hulk) annoys me to no end. -
Oh my god it gave up the belly!
