Bigoted fits.
Baby boom generation ended in 1964. Retirement age for full social security benefits for people born between 1960-1964 is 67 years. Someone born in 1960 has slightly more than two years until full retirement age. Most boomers were/are not c-suite executives. Most boomers will rely heavily on social security benefits.
Unfathomable why so many boomers are enthralled by the candidate/party that want to destroy social security.
Something something, no war but class war.
Happiness is a warm gun?
Interesting thought. What is the nutritional profile for slime mold, can humans survive eating just slime mold?

I work in a salt marshes and traverse mud flats regularly, your take is correct, stilts could slide too deep and be exceedingly difficult to retrieve. This is a general statement YMMV (your marsh may vary) Stilts could potentially sink so deep as to exceed the legs range of motion and be impossible to extract, especially if both stilts sink in. Look at the feet of birds who live in marshes, they have oversized feet (like, as you said, snowshoes) to stay on top, avoid sinking in. Stilts advantage would allow seeing further in flat terrain.
We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event the earth has experienced. As ecosystems collapse, organisms at the top of the food web are in peril. Yes, humans are in danger of extinction.
No can do, the elephant ate the banana
Pay people more, less need for social services and collect more in taxes. Reduces government expenses and raise revenue. More money to spend on infrastructure. This is without fixing tax code so mega wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.
Such a scenic commute, hopefully things align to allow biking more often.
In breeding plumage, love the tassels.

American Ornithological Society (AOS) Council Statement on English Bird Names - American Ornithological Society
(lemmy.world)
Would be right to use the names that Indigenous peoples had been using for millennia. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) should be respected as equal to western scientific knowledge. If a species was already known to Indigenous people, it was not discovered by western scientists.
Addendum for clarity. Initiative is to change common names of birds that were named after people. AOS creating a panel to draft new names based off birds features. I think using pre-existing Indigenous names for birds should be considered.
