Tbh, I can’t think of any animal that should be completely loose during transport in any situation. Even a dog that loves riding in a car needs at least a safety harness.
Livestock? They’ll get hurt bad without restrictions on movement. They could be pets instead of food, and you’d still need them restrained during travel if you want them and the vehicle safe. But livestock that have never been (or can’t be) trained the way pets are, it’s exactly like you said, you want them to stay as still as possible without causing blood flow restrictions. It’s safer for them, for the vehicle, and for everyone else on the road.
Apparently #steam now has a section for #games to show whether or not they are using #ai and in what capacity. This is taken from the section of Sins of a Solar Empire II
"As radical as they might seem, calls for limits on wealth are as old as civilization itself. The Hebrew Bible and Torah recognized years during which debts should be cancelled, slaves set free and property redistributed from rich to poor. In classical Greece, Aristotle praised cities that kept wealth inequality in check to enhance political stability. And in 1942, then-US president Franklin D. Roosevelt argued that annual incomes should be capped at the current equivalent of US$480,000.
"In Limitarianism, Dutch and Belgian economist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns argues that it’s time for twenty-first-century governments to do the same. She explores what setting limits on wealth ownership might mean, and why our societies should want to do so. It is a fresh take on a much-needed discussion at a time when, for example, the richest 1% of the US population owns about as much wealth as the bottom 90%." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01276-1
"Robeyns discusses policies that would constitute the essence of a limitarian policy platform, acknowledging that there is no one‑size-fits-all solution. Her proposals build on the work of Anthony Atkinson’s book Inequality (2015), Thomas Piketty’s A Brief History of Equality (2021) and Isabelle Ferreras and colleagues’ Democratize Work (2022). These include giving workers more rights over firms’ strategic decision-making and restoring governments’ fiscal agency by changing tax rules to limit the possibilities for tax evasion."
Me, giving away audiobooks on Mastodon for free: I wish more people would take me up on this.
Me, seeing a lovely person on Mastodon giving away something they've made for free: How beautiful! How wonderful! ...but surely someone else will need that more than I do.
Listeners tell me that I have a soothing voice that's good for falling asleep to (which I consider to be a huge compliment) and that my voice makes them feel less lonely and alone.
If you're in a rough patch and you would like one of my fiction audiobooks, please pick a title and let me know if you'd like a free copy code for US or UK Audible. No questions asked, just good wishes.
Hello! We are a small independent bookshop in Stow, in the Scottish Borders. We are no longer using Twitter, for obvious reasons, but could use some new followers on Mastodon and other social media channels - where our presence is smaller than on Twitter. Please help / share this is you can! Thank you.
