Having both, that sounds really unimagenly strange and alien to me... 😯

So the more a shame that most times we leave them to their grim fate in the urban hell we brought them to with us!
Given the fact that they mainly were a food source instead of noble mail carriers, perhaps having been abandoned in reality has not been that bad a fate...

Well, more metaphorically and limited to densely populated areas. I mean, rural pigeons are great!
But their city dwelling cousins are mostly poor beasts, malnutritioned, disease plaqued, often invalid: half blind, missing leg, barely enough feathers to fly even short distances.
On top of that a public health issue. So the rat comparison mostly holds, I am afraid...
And if we are talking about other birds than pigeons - totally different topic!
Sure... a typical setup strictly for growing "lettuce". Nothing else to see here...!
Happy about airborne rats?
Seriously?
I really wonder what happens during meditation to those people without an inner monologue...
Not only the U.S. grid is weak compared to China’s… Strategically China seems to be outpacing the U.S. on many fronts, being much more stringent and focused on long term goals than the chaotic U.S. at the moment. I really don’t like the idea of living in a world with China as the leading nation, but it increasingly seems like the most probable development in the mid to long run. And transition will likely not be smooth…
Apparently these are not the seeds themselves but only the remains of the original ovulums that contained the seed when they still existed.
That surprisingly wasn't that hard, actually.
One side of the family already settled on Threema for communication years ago, the other side I had to first show Signal to and help with installing it, but now they are even using it in other contexts.
And apparently I live in a bubble that is quite open to Signal, so most of the people I know at least use it in parallel to WhatsApp. And for the rest there is still RCS.
The actual hard part are (since I became a parent) all the WhatsApp groups that exist for most kinds of organized child activity, including distributing much of the crucial information regarding school.
Also at my wife's work WhatsApp is standard for coordinating with the colleagues.
For that purposes we use an old customized WhatsApp-only smartphone, that is used by the family like some old-fashioned fixed phone-terminal, only for messaging...
Only problem is, we are by now in a technological position that the next collapse has a decent chance of being our last collapse.
