Donkey Love
Everything you hoped it wasn't going to be about.
Donkey Love
Funny, shocking and controversial, Donkey Love is a documentary that introduces the unknown tradition of Colombians having sex and falling in love with donkeys. It starts off as a "rite of passage" ritual for young men that fathers initiate with their sons and is carried on into their adulthood where the men often can't stop having sex with the donkeys and even end up cheating on their wives with them. Colombians believe that a young boy should practice having sex with donkeys to prepare himself for a woman, and that it makes your penis bigger and prevents you from becoming a homosexual.

Both brutal. Both well worth watching.
I was rather taken by the Hole in the Ground as it seems to be from the early stages of the cold war, where there was a naive optimism about how many weapons would be used. Like there would be a few, but nothing too much to worry about.

Paranoid guess: The mouse knows that when the tub reaches a certain weight, food will be released via the wire/string contraption seen behind/above the tub.
Projected paranoia guess: There is food in the tub and he is burying it to prevent other mice from stealing his stash.

Perception in the sense that it receives information and makes some order of it.
Not consciousness, an insect can perceive a stimulus and react to it, it isn't sentient but it does need to collect and make sense of data.

'Proof' itself is often a slippery word.
Actual proof is only available in mathematics, everything else is supportive evidence.
Isn't the insect effectively programmed at the DNR level by the position of proteins and then further coding?

(Assuming you mean DNA).
I think there's a spectrum of sentience; that an ant has enough self awareness to be a good ant, communicates with other ants using language (made from pheromones\hormones rather than words), has a concept of time and space, mortality, things and their kinds, understands tool use, understands agriculture (their fungus farms), and even has individual creativity (e.g. no two ant hills are quite the same, each individual chooses which materials to use and where to put each building block).

What I've long loved about airships
is that there was so much evidence that they were a really bad idea, yet they poured the most amazing amount of time and effort into them. So many attempts didn't even manage to get out of a hangar or make a maiden flight intact.

Since I won't be doing the thrice-weekly lockdown-necessitated 40 km round-trip ride taking my youngest to daycare, but I'd like to keep some of the fitness fatness advantages.
I've been on a couple of rides so far but I cannot so much as look down at the front wheel without wobbles so significant that I fear falling off.
Kudos to this nutcase's nutsack.

I can't handle the hard narrow little racing seats, and I've heard there a significant problem of impotency among the bike racing fraternity that I'd rather avoid
No matter what bike I get, and I think I had five stolen in London all told so I go through a lot, I buy a nice wide dutch seat with the springs underneath (still with the groove) and swap it in

I live in the Netherlands
And I've had plenty of wide sprung seats. They're definitely better for comfort, but having spent years sat bolt-upright, Dutch-style, with all my weight on my arse, the razor-sharp race bike saddle is not bad at all, since a lot of weight is now on my arms and shoulders.
There are shit Dutch saddles too, the most important thing is to keep adjusting it until it's right for you - on our cargo bike it now slopes toward the rear of the bike as I found this the most comfortable.

"Hard narrow racing saddles" are a bit of a myth, as is the impotency story. There is a huge range of different saddle designs these days, and you may have to try a few to see what works best for you; there's no single design that is perfect for everyone. Indeed, a wide, sprung Dutch saddle may not be the most comfortable option if you are riding farther than the local shops.

Already had my kids so I'm good for a silly little saddle when the midlife crisis kicks in

People don't tend to get along with 'hard narrow racing seats' because they're sitting on them wrong.
You don't sit on a road saddle in the same way you'd sit on a BMX/Mountain Bike/Town bike saddle. People are used to sitting on saddles in the same way they sat on a saddle when they learned to ride a bike. Upright. You don't sit upright on a road bike. You're very much in a forward leaning position with a good portion of your weight supported by your arms. The saddle should be placing a lot more support on your perineum than your arse.

you're probably right
but I like to sit upright, survey my surroundings, and I'm usually trying to get to work, not win Le Tour, so the racing saddles aren't for me

Are these for anything in particular or just to show off your skills?
Very good btw.
If you're doing it for the love, may I suggest Isaac Arthur's channel on youtube is always looking for space ship graphics.

He spoke at my university once. I didn't go.
So ends my enthralling Robot Wars anecdote.

Liftoff scheduled for 12:50 UK time.
I find his presentation style a bit grating, but Everyday Astronaut has a good rundown of the rover and it's mission here:
