OT Elon Musk's Business Partner Says A Real Jurassic Park Can Be Done

[Hoopguru]

If I was filthy rich I'd want a room for every occasion including one for hunting in which I would have stuffed among the largest meat eaters, including a very large polar bear but also a very large grizzly.

When you land at the Fairbanks airport right inside they have a huge brown bear and polar bear there to greet ya.

Hunting is against Jewish law. Because the meat can't be eaten due to dietary laws, it is killing for fun, and therefore cruelty to animals.

I don't kill for fun. I kill for meat. That's why I prefer elk over venison.

I've been to the Anchorage airport but never the Fairbanks airport.

Right, but since observant Jews couldn't eat the meat it would be killing for fun.

I was taught in the Army to not move when spotted by an enemy flare at night because movement was more readily detected by humans. I believe animals similarly have improved vision of their prey when it moves which I think I may have seen in one of the many nature shows I have watched.
Also, wasn't T-Rex a dinosaur and didn't it have a voice box?
I got this off the internet:
"However, vegetarian jello desserts made from plant-based gums or seaweeds like agar or carrageenan are available." Brand name Jello is not vegan and is made from the .
Frogs are related to reptiles as were dinosaurs. I can accept a certain similarity especially since I know that bananas share about 41% of their DNA with humans. Even if it is a stretch to think that frogs share critical DNA with T-Rex I can go with it for the pure entertainment value of a hair raising action movie. Oh come on, it was fun.

I had a friend in college who's father was an electrician who worked at the Bonneville dam. One day he shut off the power to a generator so he could work on it. Then while he was performing maintenance on the generator some nimrod saw the power switch turned off and decided he'd do a good job and turn the switch so that power would be restored to run the generator. My friend's dad got thrown across the room but lived. I've also heard stories about people getting hit with lightening who've lived. In conclusion I think there's a possibility that the movie version could theoretically happen. Sometimes when the skin is extra conductive with body salt mixed with sweat or other water, the surge of electricity can be channeled across the surface of the skin thereby bypassing the vital organs. That I do know something about.

When I was a home inspector (25 years), a cool Realtor who's family owned a 100 plus year restaurant/tavern told me a story about an electrician that got blown across the kitchen tables when he assumed he was safe. No matter what the situation a breaker lock is needed. At least he could have duct taped to the panel door and wrote a warning.

I was inspecting a vacant house once and when all the lights were turned on, a burning smell sifted through the air from the pan. The house was built in the mid sixties so Aluminum wire was used. That material is incompatible with the ground buss. I cut off the main and we called the fire department, sellers agent and so forth. That was scary.

I inspected a bookstore in Princeton, in the summer and used a laser temp gun on the breakers after I felt a hotter than usual 220V circuit with my right hand through my rubber glove. It was 20 degrees hotter than the surrounding breakers. Sometimes breakers cannot trip and that is really concerning. We, as ASHI inspectors never touched breakers or interior pans with our left hand/glove as that is a passageway direct to your heart.

In a townhouse, built in the mid 60's, I opened an old Murray panel. The guy who installed the wiring never installed them to workmanlike standards as per IEC. How on earth did that pass the final CA? It looked like spaghetti squashed in a metal pan.

The houses I inspected in inner cities always had my alert sense on higher ground. A lot of stupid people thought they knew what they were doing. Recently, in my role as housing, fire and building inspector for a small borough in South Jersey, I found telephone cable energizing an outlet, behind a baseboard radiator. It was probably tapped off an over wired junction box.. They do not get an approval without a NJ licensed electricians' invoice.
Behold,,,, Stupid insane people exist.

I’m on the short-face bear bandwagon.

The most apex predator to ever apex.

Yours is bigger. Winner!

Ah, now I see your point.
