Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that's my new head-canon.

You mean bedsores, yeah its a pretty similar cause. The difference is that bedsores only cause damage to the skin from lack of blood flow caused by the extended pressure from lying down. While in horses, the extended pressure from lying down leads to poor blood flow in not just the skin, but the muscles and organs nearby too.

And yes, you can turn horses over too, but it takes multiple people and is really dangerous to everyone involved, so its not an action to be taken lightly.

I miss it too, but its not like we've been starved for content, she's been doing little daily comics for a while now.

It's not just horses, all large mammals have this problem from lying down too long. Horses can and do lie down every day, but for short periods of time. It's the extended lying down from illness or injury that kills them.

To add on why broken legs are fatal: its because horses are so big, that even with a sling, they cannot support themselves well on 3 legs. And lying down is also not an option as their own weight will crush their internal organs if they stay down for too long.

by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

2-3% might be OpenSuse

The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they'd be much higher than Arch.

That feels like too far in the other direction. Rather than open internet access, there should be a district-wide intranet or at least just a proper whitelist of allowed sites, but of course that would require a proper IT department and would be too costly for most schools.

You win this round, science.

Can't have light without dark. Can't have good without evil. Otherwise you just have boring stagnation. God likes chaos and excitement, not boring safety.

Windows 11 serving me ads in the OS was a step too far. Windows 10 already had them as apps in every update that annoyed me, but 11 took them to a new level that was too far for me.
