They have some better photos on their site; some of them are even being worn properly!

That actually cheesed me off in Skyrim, they have the female khajiit tails placed wrong and once you notice it it drives you made. There's a mod to fix it of course.

female khajiit tails
Now Google thinks I'm a pervert.
Here's the best result anyway.

The first pic looks like someone taking an epic standing dump.

Yeah well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Pervert.
Here's the best result anyway.
I wish I knew what "clothing was added to the Khajiit to negate the modded pic on left" meant. Because it sounds like gibberish.
But you see my point.

"clothing was added to the Khajiit to negate the modded pic on left"
best guess it's commenting that the clothing was baked into the model to make it harder to make a nude mod (not that that stopped modders.)
not that i'm psychic or anything. just guessing based on context

It means "it doesn't look so horribly wrong when you can't see where the tail starts", as written by a product of some modern educational system.

Wow. That makes that one-liner joke from Star Trek VI so much more hilarious.

A San Francisco biotech startup has managed to 3D print fake rhino horns that carry the same genetic fingerprint as the actual horn. It plans to flood Chinese market with these cheap horns to curb poaching.
What a great idea. Biotech company makes a lot of money, the rhinos are saved, limp-dicked assholes get their bullshit placebo and poachers are out of business.
They just need to package it as a real deal and presto. Problem solved.

I agree with the sentiment. I think we should stop wasting time and effort, just line up the remaining rhinos and shoot them all. Save us all a lot of trouble.

I decided to add to that lest anyone think I'm not serious.
There are around 31,000 rhinos left in the wild, and there's two ways their future can go: Extinction or not. The problem is, as I see it, is that most of the world either wants the horns (i.e. wants them dead) or else doesn't care. The few people that do care are spending an enormous amount of time and effort trying to overcome the efforts of those who want the horns, which are currently running around $16,000 per pound.
It is essentially a no-win battle.
So that we can move on to other more useful things, we could simply let the market run its course. The problem with that is there is a lot of money in rhinoceros horn that could be used for other things.
So my modest proposal is: Let's finish them off, so that we can control the horn. I figure we would get 250,000 pounds of horn if we did this. Then, once that is done, grind up the horn and put it in Ft Knox or some place like that. Set the price at $14,000 an ounce. Surely these people would be willing to pay that in order to get their stiffies.
Lest anyone think that price is excessive, well, the price right now is $1,000 per ounce; surely they'd be willing to pay a premium for the remaining scarce resource.
So then we have about 4 million ounces, which multiplied out, yields $56 billion we could use for other useful purposes.
Problem solved.

I'll believe you're serious only when the deed is done.

Don't tell me I'm not serious when I am. I might be a "Libtard", but even I can recognize a lost cause when I see one. Same solution applies to the elephants and whales.
-
Ok, I'm just trolling here, but it seems to me it'd be quicker and easier, rather than killing off all the species in the world, just to kill all the humans.

I might be a "Libtard",
Is that defined as "person who sees person with alzheimer's and fires gun directly into forehead"?

I got a good idea: that it never occurred to CDCK to include sound with notifications in Discourse.
Flagged for feature request. cc:@codinghorror
It was considered but denied.

It was considered
Oh noes! Also that is something you could have done? I'm not familiar with these notification systems, but seems like a terribad idea.
@riking said:but denied.
Thank the gods.

In fact, we can go a step further.
This whole idea of "wilderness" needs to be rethought.
Right now, we have areas that we call "civilization" and where land is parceled out and maintained by people; and wilderness, that basically no one owns and that people can just move in and claim. But then, you get all sorts of drama, with poachers and the Greens and laws trying to protect this species or that ecosystem etc.
But why should civilization care? What do we get this "nature"?
We can get all the food we need from crops and domesticated farm animals. For the oxygen, we can plant nice cultivated trees in parks, instead of having those nasty swampy rain-forests breeding mosquitoes and diseases.
All those supposed precious ecosystems are taking up an actual precious living-space. Space we could fill with nice malls and low-rent housing and monster truck arenas. Or even natural preserves, I'm not unreasonable. We can put nature in a box. We don't need it loose.
So, document all the stupid plants you want, take all the photos you can, freeze all the DNA samples you need, and then let the bulldozers lose.
We've pretended for far too long we can coexist with nature. Enough. Earth is for human civilization only. Everything else can make itself useful or go away. And if stupid koalas have a problem with that, they can talk to the bulldozer.
You think I'm joking, but if you think about it, this is actually the future. Civilization will either crash or take over everything. Little patches of nature will survive in designated areas, or "national parks", but they'll basically be cultivated areas, the same as everything else on the planet. It's inevitable.
-
You mean we aren't there yet? Sometimes it seems that way in parts of the US.
-
Civilization will either crash or take over everything.
My money's on it taking over everything, then crashing.

This reminds me of a John Stossel bit:
http://www.creators.com/opinion/john-stossel/eat-the-tigers.html
tl;dr; Farm raised tigers would be cheaper than poached tigers. Similar logic applies here, though the printing, now that they've figured it out, sounds like it could be even cheaper.
-
You think I'm joking
No, sadly. Exposure to people with opinions like yours was the main reason my own thinking flipped over, thirty years or so ago, to view global humanity as a phenomenon resembling a mouse plague or algal bloom more than anything else.

Quiche is pie!
With bacon in it!

Indeed, although not all quiche has bacon in it. I have a recipe for a vegetarian quiche that is quite good (but also quite labor-intensive; I haven't made it in years).With bacon in it!
