>Although tularemia isn't usually deadly, we were working with a far more virulent strain than any I would ever have been exposed to in nature.

Reply to TIL that in WW2, a Marine Corps Corsair pilot used his propeller to chew off the tail of an enemy aircraft after his guns jammed, while under fire from the enemy plane's tailgunner. The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard
Yeah, I don't think air-to-air-melee combat is what they meant when they say dogfights lol
Mission accomplished? Kinda stupid tho tbh.

Reply to Deep sea mining disrupt whale songs by tandemuis365
I'll just say that for the suffering people caused animals in general due to stupid shit like this which is like torture for sea life because they're so attuned, and sensitive to noises to where it's like taking away their hearing because guarantee this damages their hearing and if damaged enough they can't function properly so they either depend on the pod or die. I'm not sure why humans have to inflict cruelty when unnecessary particularly mammals humans shouldn't be entitled to much in terms of an afterlife
We got a lot to answer for :/
