Elon Musk reposted the image claiming to show 'migrants storming a hospital', but it appears to actually be from The Dark Knight Rises.

 

The guy is obsessed by Batman and other such stuff apparently.

Elon Musk wants to shape our future. How did science fiction shape him?

Not so sure I'd be as happy if they were reintroduced - we've kind of sanitised the UK so there isn't a lot out there that might want to eat us.

 

I know the arguments are for population control - deer and so on - but have the landscape and farming changed too much for them? Sheep which are nicely penned in or a deer able to jump and run away, I don't think the farmers would be too happy either.

 

I'd be tempted to agree with you. A nice idea in theory maybe, but not practical in reality, on a heavily populated island with lots of livestock around. Seems like bit of a sledgehammer to crack a peanut type of idea anyway. The huge deer problem surely needs attention but that can't be the easiest solution. We just need to properly cull the buggers and get the meat on the supermarket shelves, pronto. That'd kill a few birds with one stone as well.

I agree but l would think that the majority of people in the uk prefer bland beef or probably a flabby bit of chicken.

Indeed. But tastes can easily change, especially if they're flavoured by economic motivations. The bland and flabby crap just needs to be priced to reflect it's true cost.

Yes, but in the future you know we'll all just log onto the internet and watch mind numbing pap with that power in our laptops "we could go to the moon with less power than what is in our phone" "why don't you" "Because I am watching cats hit other cats in funny ways"

 

Might be able to suggest Husky vs Stihl... but I doubt it
