What would be wrong with 'tard'?

It's a shortened version of the slur "retard".

Thanks to PayPal I just learned a lot about Tardigrades. Interesting creatures.

Unpopular opinion but I think we have a civic responsibility to put them on probes and crash them into every planet in the solar system. Those cute little water bears are nature's survivors.

Why specifically a civic responsibility?

There's probably a better word but it resonates with some people.

The desire to preserve other planets for the remote chance that there's life there and we can study it before turning up anyway and ruining things is misguided. We are the only known life in the universe, it's incredibly irresponsible to not propagate such things (just in case)

Perhaps 'moral responsibility'?

Unless we end up killing life that already exists there.

The aliens can make a movie about it.

Taboola and Outbrain ads, when you want your site to look spammy as f

Human poop cannot polute oceans, fishes tend to poop and pee as well

Fish and humans have vastly different diets, and human feces contain different bacteria and viruses than fish feces. You can absolutely pollute an ocean with sewage. Please try to educate yourself.

It's also not just about the ocean- hepatitis A spreads quite regularly when shellfish feed on contaminated sewage.

crypto is like cruise lines to me. I know it is there but I never used it to buy something.

I think the intention is to lighten the mood a little, so to speak, for those who are being forced to work from home due the current pandemic.

So do it during work hours. Many companies have team events like this.

first time since the 2016 U.S. presidential election after they fell more than the daily limit of 5%

The daily limit is 20%, I believe?

7% = automatic 15 minute stop

13% = another 15 minute stop

20% = stop for rest of day

Those were futures the night of the election...

Futures have a hault at 5%

Normal trading hours have the 7% stop

And from what I read, the futures did halt at 5% yesterday. So it was already sort of expected that the 7% stop would be hit today.
