I've read that jaguars attack humans pretty infrequently (ie quite a bit less than the Eurasian big cats, particularly leopards)

Like, Wikipedia has lists of attacks on humans by lions, tigers, leopards, and mountain lions... Nothing for jaguars. I say bring em back, see how it goes.

Thread relevant, there's also an article about attacks by beavers on humans. There's one recorded death in 2013, in Belarus. Imagine being the only man in recorded history to die from a beaver bite.

It just now occurs to me that the Wikipedia article on jaguar attacks on humans could have been deleted by a jaguar

Cougars are a hoax perpetrated by jaguar wikipedia editors

(really though the mountain lion is a pretty successful cat. I have a tendency to think of them as The North American Big Cat, cause it's the one we have, but its range extends down into South America, farther south than where jaguars go, and they absolutely live in the same places jaguars do)

The city should make them dismantle the boat, airlift it, overland it, etc. Seems like fairly simple breach of contract. "We offered to build your ship, we decided to build a ship in a bottle, we have to break the bottle to get it out, but we don't own the bottle". "We promised you 1 tonne in corn futures and now trade agreements prevent us from exporting it". "Yeah I pinkie promised to give you my Twinkie today Judy, but I already ate it,... but I can still get it for you".

Yeah but if they did that, the (locally based tax paying) company will probably end up having to foot the bill for that which takes money out of the local coffers as he'd have someone else fix it out of spite. With the current plan, Bezos dumps a ton of money into the local economy and then has to dump a ton more money into the local economy to pay to have (presumably a local company or at least local workers) disassemble and reassemble the bridge.

He was paranoid, vengeful, crooked to the core and racist af, but he did a lot of things that subsequent republicans have spent 40 years dismantling, like the EPA.

Jaguar warriors can be good, but the star is the Eagle warriors, because they can fly and hit the enemy back lines. Give them fire and/or death bless and you can kill someone in an early war.

If Nixon had his way, we would have had Medicare for All.

That said, Kissinger of all people had to talk his drunken rear end out of a nuclear first strike, so it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

For as much as has been said about creeping executive power, Nixon had the power to do things that no president since could do.
