Animals that can digest the cellulose either need a really long digestive track or to do something really gross to keep the stuff in their digestive track longer.

Enforcing an unjust system makes them inherently evil.

Surely motorcycling, free climbing, BASE jumping, hang gliding, and skiing are deadlier?

The apple of the automotive world. I’m kinda shocked HD hasn’t tried to follow suit. I was sure the “guy who never rode a motorcycle before but became CEO” was gonna see every custom modification as a lost sale and try DRM.

The toll: Not murdering scores of Iranian children.
