Both have their own thing going on the side, including The Smile together which is great. But Radiohead where they had Ed, Phil and Colin critiquing and improving their output is a different level of polish.
Cockatoos are worse and will flip the lid of a wheelie bin if in the mood. Crows will as well if you overfill and the lid is not shut properly.

What they are good at is target tracking, having started out in satellite communication.
Their tracking system paired with a 30mm Bushmaster cannon and proximity ammo is another solution, and there are apparently 160 of them heading for Ukraine to be mounted on M113 and Kozak vehicles.
Never got around to watching Samurai Jack but really should.
"In the early morning hours of 29 December 2023, Russia launched what was seen to be the largest wave of missiles and drones yet seen in the Russo-Ukrainian War, with hundreds of missiles and drones hitting the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and other cities across the country."
You have to wonder how much of that time was inventing/creating the actual capability on top of planning/rehearsing. Would be an interesting story in the mold of the "Dam Busters".
There are projects to develop and market seaweed-based feed to reduce burping:

Grass-fed cattle in Northern Australian mostly eat native grasses as they are more hardy given the environment: Queensland Bluegrass and Mitchell Grass for example.
Yes, feedlots do allow for raising cattle faster and more consistently, but are problematic for runoff.

Meat is not a status symbol food. Culturally/historically eating roasted meat was a family event: The Sunday lamb roast, the roasted pig or bison in an earth oven in Polynesian/Maori/Native American cultures for example. The only status may be the quality of the cut where you're eating Wagyu rather than ground beef.
There are no native ungulates in Australia. There are also no predators except wild dogs (also introduced) and there's a 3000+km fence to keep them out of grazing areas.
All cattle, sheep, goats and pigs in Australia must be tagged with an EID/RFID tag or device. We track where they were bred, raised, sold and eventually killed. There's no cattle just roaming around wherever.
We have kangaroos which are regularly culled because of the lack of predators and they compete with cattle and sheep for the grass, and most people don't want to eat kangaroo. (National symbol and also because it has a strong flavour)
There are also feral pigs, camels and other introduced pest species like rabbits that we try to eradicate.
Feral pigs in particular damage tree roots, destroy water sources and irrigation and are a vector for exotics disease such as African swine fever, Japanese Encephalitis, lumpy skin disease, foot & mouth and all sorts of parasites.
Some Australian outback cattle stations may cover millions of hectares, but you're not going to be able to grow anything else out there: too hot and little water and unlike cattle you can't move your pea farm to where the water is.
I would agree that land-clearing (cutting down forests) to raise cattle is unacceptable, as are the use of feed-lots, but I would disagree that we need to eat less meat, and I would personally never give up my grass-fed organic beef.
We've since seen this playbook repeated across multiple industries.
Lynas Rare Earths noted in it's last quarterly report that it has started it's HRE separation circuit and will begin producing Dysprosium this month (May 2025), followed by Terbium in June at it's Malaysian site.
Doesn't really help the US (which is why Lynas are building the Seadrift plant in Texas with DoD funding) as most of that will go to Japan. Lynas interestingly got into the rare earth business in the wake of China's ban on exporting to Japan, so their major customers are the likes of Sumitumo who put up the initial funds for the Malaysian plant.
Last I heard Lynas were asking for more USG funds due to issues with the planned waste water treatment which will blow out the project costs to get working. The actual draft environmental assessment document is an eye-opener as far as the minutia of requirements, despite this being a national security priority.

He was wanting put music out fast and often, "90% polished" with none of the baggage of Radiohead's legacy or expectations.
After bringing in Thom Yorke they have 3 albums in as many years and just release stuff randomly as it's ready. Pure creativity and a lot of it is more than good enough to satisfy my Radiohead itch.
While there are a few never finished/published Radiohead era tracks like Skrting on the Surface, most of it comes out of the trio jamming together.

Take that moral position and then extend the calculation to cover all potential generations of humans to come, and the value of maximising your utility now is infinitely small.
You're the Rick Rubin or Brian Eno shaping the song out of the music, not to musician.
It may be that people who are moderate drinkers are more likely to do all or most of the above.
Was a bit more useful at questions like "Rank these stocks by exposure to the Chinese market", as you can prioritise your own research but in the end you just have to go through the individual company filings yourself.
For example: Take the ingredient list of a cosmetic or other product that could be 30-40 different molecules and ask ChatGPT to list out what each of them is and if any have potential issues.
You can then verify what it returns via search.
Question 1, are you fine with the chicken in with the bread? Question 2, would you like the drain cleaner left separate rather than with the food items.
They either don't care or would suggest leaving the bread or chicken separate, same for the drain cleaner.
The worst grief you'll get is why they can't have 3 bags.
There are other factors with car colour:
- Visibility: white and yellow are more visible and get a premium discount.
- Fleet ownership: which mostly means white.
The amount of grey manufactured at the moment is interesting as they attract a higher premium because they are basically the same colour as the road. Black is also deemed less visible.
Her destructiveness though was nothing on a German Shepherd.
My kids didn't get to do any of that which is a shame. There are obvious downsides like having the tools to make throwing stars from the metal off-cuts.
