After dealing with thousands of crows roosting in downtown, Sunnyvale, California, for years, the city is taking a note from nearby Silicon Valley and going high-tech with lasers.
This history of science is filled with idle rich weirdos just fucking around in their massive country gardens because they were the only people at the time who could afford to do so. For a brief period of history the modern state-subsidised low-fee or no-fee university existed to give this chance to anyone who could stomach a decade of grad school. But now that those are all gone and replaced by the neoliberal idea of universities as lern-2-code training schools, we have gone right back to rich assholes fucking about in their yards again.
The system of percussion caps, which ultimately led to modern self-contained ammunition, came from a guy who was pissed that birds took off when he lit his powder and it made them hard to hit.
I'm having to trick so many rich people and their estates into thinking I might be profitable. Thank you notes to donors is the most insipid disgusting thing I've ever had to do. It's humiliating what students have to do to get scholarships.
