That quote doesn't mean that department buys or operates airplanes. It means they own at least one specific kind of StingRay that they can mount in aircrafts that happen to be flying in their precinct.

I will say, being from the US, the fact that any branch of the government would use such a device should amaze me, but unfortunately I have to admit I have heard of worse abuses of power.

>Horiuchi also tried working with Microsoft Word but it didn’t offer the flexibility that Excel did.

Can anyone see anything Excel-specific he actually used? Not being facetious, I'm genuinely looking for it but can't seem to find it.

If you believe your observation about one discovery of the remains of one ancient hunt is an observation of ancient hunting practices in general, you really need to look into the importance of sample size. If you believe any response here to your observation was anything close to cruel, how fair do you really believe your observation of those dead hunters is?

Regardless of how long someone has been dead, or how remote they may be to you, slandering them is not something you should do, especially on such a misinformed basis. To label their acts of survival a tragedy is incorrect, it's not an opinion.

That is far from a tragedy. Aside from the fact that 'how little of the animal appears to have been used' is the exact reason we all have the benefit of this discovery, one should realize this extremely rare find is in no way indicative of how early hominids utilized the mammoth population they preyed upon. I'm not sure if you've experienced current Arctic weather, but feel free to compare it to any refrigeration techniques of say, the 19th century, and then consider that at the time of the kill the world was a colder place. It is not unrealistic to assume that roaming hunter-gatherers would find it more efficient to simply store the meat of a literally gigantic kill at the exact site of the kill; harvesting what they needed, when they needed it. If you can assume that, it's not a far leap to assume that those who made this particular kill were unfortunately deprived the opportunity to fully harvest it.

I'm sure if you were around back then, there would be a zero probability such a 'tragedy' could ever occur. By the way, super interested in all of your current acts of altruism that might directly or indirectly combat the innumerable current 'tragedies' levied by humanity on any other species. I'll donate $1 USD in your username to a charity of your choice for every one you feel compelled to list. To deprive a cause you care so deeply about an influx of capital, I dare say, would be a real tragedy.

You should update it with the proper year. "December 1, 2018 3:20pm"

Anyone who could not only criticize but also resist straight up killing for the opportunity to work with the only and only grayfox is an anomaly. Either you are incredibly unaware, or on the next level of talented to not recognize this. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter, in which case, stop posting on HN, and start writing books. People need to hear your wisdom.
