    On Titan, you could strap on wings and fly around.

    Moreover, the atmosphere is >5% natural gas, but without oxygen you can’t burn it. I suppose oxygen would be considered the fuel in that case and you’d pipeline that instead? And being able to breathe would be a nice side-benefit.

    Early cycling laws and rights predate the invention of the automobile by decades. So it is actually the car that is the invasive newcomer.

      Yeah, but it’s the cyclist that annoys me (more than cars. Cars do annoy me as well). At least the ones wearing a helmet and riding a street bike.

      If they’re wearing a hoodie and a backpack I usually sympathize with them. They probably got jammed up and this is their only way to get to work, groceries, drugs, see someone, or whatever else they might need to go out for

        Your view of cyclists contains a lot of assumptions that I don’t find likely to be true often enough to be actionable

        Over billions of years, hydrogen left on its own collapsed under gravity into stars, under went fusion, supernovaed, created all the heavier elements, formed secondary stars and rocky plants, evolved into creatures, which learnt chemistry and gave it a name. We’re all stardust + time basically. But we’re stardust that names itself.

    The people who built the stone towns of Gobekli Tepe and Carahan Tepe in Anatolia in Turkey, built and lived their villages so long ago, that the very first historical civilization recognized as such, with cities and writing - the ancient Sumerians - are closer to us in time than to those hunter/gatherer people, who lived near the Atlas Taurus Mountains foothills and the rivers and tributaries that eventually merge into the Eufrates further downstream.

    African Wild Dogs decide on when to go hunting by voting. If there is a supermajority of votes in favor of hunting, they will go out and hunt. If that quorum is not reached, they will stay home.

    The time between the last living stegosaurus and the last living tyrannosaurus is greater that the time between the last tyrannosaurus and today.

      For a funner fact: the only time this is not true is during a lunar eclipse, where the Earth’s shadow means the entire moon is in shadow at once
