For mammals we are, sure, but there's loads of things that'd kill humans that other animals chow down on perfectly happily, especially when it comes to microorganisms, mushrooms and the rotting things they're often found in/around

I don't think scavenging is right also given that humans used to mainly pick fresh fruits and persistence hunt, both of which are very fresh food which is not overlooked or left by others... Given the fact we picked fresh fruits and hunted for fresh meat, being resistant to berry and fruit based poisons was more important than microorganism based ones, so it makes a lot of sense that so many of the non-intoxicating poisons we like are from fruits and berries

It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced from their homes by Israeli settlers, as well as Jews who were forced out of theirs due to their religion and had nowhere else to go but Israel, but if you're a member of one of those groups and can't empathise with the other (eg Hamas, IDF and their supporters) then you should get no sympathy at all.

I heard he was rebuilt after a long and arduous war on the planet Kopirite

That's when considering the slits as a lens though, which they will act as at any diameter however there's going to be a width at which the angle of approach and wavelength of the light are insignificant enough that you practically can't tell that the slits were even there right?

I'm only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

If they're all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there's only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

On Fairphone, they flat out refuse to even discuss adding a headphone jack (check the posts in their forums - it's a "hands over ears" no) so I'm sticking with Sony/ASUS (the latter atm as they've been slightly less anticompetitive recently but I'd much rather go to a decent company) until they do... It's not like you notice a phone being 1mm thicker when you have a 3mm case on it anyway

Elf employment isn't cheap since they passed all those workers rights laws... Gotta get funding somehow and mall appearance fees only go so far

Funding one of the biggest terrorist organisations of the 20th century doesn't sound like a very good thing to do... Same goes for all the other Americans who gave them money without realising they were (are) pretty much universally hated across all Ireland - much like how most Muslims hate IS

And yet while anger is directed at the 1%, the party in government get all their money from them so they raise taxes and make efforts to disperse the wealth of the 9% between the two as they neither fund the government nor are a big enough voting bloc for them to care - many of the 90% consider them the same anyway as when you have no disposable income or worse then having some disposable income may as well be having more money than you know what to do with, so taxing the 9% gets the vote of much of the 90%

I think you're near enough alone... Python is up there with the best ways to call other people's code, due to the support for types beyond string...
