the weird thing is they evolved from these weird shrew things

2019-03-15 12:47:29 UTC  

tiny

2019-03-15 12:47:39 UTC  

evolution is weird

2019-03-15 12:49:19 UTC  

You pays your money and takes your chances

2019-03-15 12:49:29 UTC  

And the deck is rigged

2019-03-15 12:49:39 UTC  

one evolutionary history I'm really curious to learn about is Bats

2019-03-15 12:49:55 UTC  

it seems to be not that well known yet

2019-03-15 12:50:01 UTC  

Oh, I can help there

2019-03-15 12:50:06 UTC  

who do you get from climbing, to gliding to flying

2019-03-15 12:50:37 UTC  

Lots of small mammals used glide assist in trees

2019-03-15 12:50:44 UTC  

it's such a weird adaptation to have develop

2019-03-15 12:51:08 UTC  

Monkeys, lemurs, rodents, plenty

2019-03-15 12:51:19 UTC  

then there's the primate theory for some bats

2019-03-15 12:51:40 UTC  

which would mean divergent evolution but it seems that theory has no wings...heh

2019-03-15 12:52:11 UTC  

To get to the flapping bit is a stretch, but if you are a high-r species then... wtf... might work

2019-03-15 12:52:57 UTC  

to go from gliding which is pretty common in mammals but to flying, its believed they're nocturnal to not compete with birds

2019-03-15 12:53:43 UTC  

makes me wonder why only bats of all mammals fly

2019-03-15 12:53:50 UTC  

I need to figure out how early they diverged. Fossils not great

2019-03-15 12:54:09 UTC  

Lol... I’m a flying mammal!

2019-03-15 12:55:01 UTC  

apparently bats go pretty far back

2019-03-15 12:56:44 UTC  

Got a cool vid yesterday of a guy doing skydiving without a parachute

2019-03-15 12:57:11 UTC  

Fuck airsuits, just a net

2019-03-15 12:58:02 UTC  

yeah I've seen those, crazy motherfuckers

2019-03-15 12:58:46 UTC  

I have a para A license... I would not attempt that

2019-03-15 13:30:30 UTC  

Aydin is always worth a listen. Reminds me of a girlfriend I had 30 years back

2019-03-15 13:35:22 UTC  

her reaction is pretty close to what mine's been

2019-03-15 13:35:50 UTC  

maybe new information will come forward and it'll make at least some sense

2019-03-15 13:36:28 UTC  

I’ll give it a go shortly. But generally, the creation of destructive chaos is not my thing

2019-03-15 13:36:31 UTC  

this one event is going have some massive implications around the world

2019-03-15 13:36:56 UTC  

Pfft. Only if people are dumb

2019-03-15 13:37:03 UTC  

Wait

2019-03-15 13:37:07 UTC  

there's no way it doesn't

2019-03-15 13:37:08 UTC  

Ummm

2019-03-15 13:37:36 UTC  

Styx is on it already too

2019-03-15 13:38:27 UTC  

hmmm I wonder though if NZ's prisons are like those in the UK and Aus

2019-03-15 13:38:45 UTC  

they are pretty heavily controlled by Muslims at least in some of the bigger ones

2019-03-15 13:38:47 UTC  

meaning they breed radical islamist?

2019-03-15 13:38:51 UTC  

yeah

2019-03-15 13:38:53 UTC  

they probably are
