    By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.

    But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

    iirc John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect grade 4 nostalgia, though.

    Hell, I could’ve picked that up off playing Jurassic World Evolutions in the last six months and it’s backpedal lore.

    Whatever it is, Michael Crichton was no idiot.

    I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…

    Invertebrates? No. All out

    Fish? No. Also a Hammerhead would’ve really sold this comic lol.

    Birds? No. Though, even on the side they do often have a tilt toward frontal in a lot of predatory birds. It could be argued…

    Reptiles? No.

    Amphibians? No. There’s no even trying to place rules on that optical chaos.

    Mammals? Yeah, pretty much. Can’t think of an outlier but I’m sure there’s plenty of obvious ones.

    Edit’ Ah, there we go. Of course marine mammals are an exception. But back in land, as too are llamas. Makes you wonder…what are the llamas plotting?

    Yeah, but kudos to whoever the UI dev for CONTAIN.MOD.C12 is.

    If I had to guess the taskbar icons; Dashboard Mode, Fullscreen Mode, Report View, Directories, System Management, Power Management, Home, Settings, Shopping, Trash.

    Up top looks like all the controls you need for the chamber to open and close doors, set temps, change vitals views…

    Dunno what’s up with the primary monitor not adopting the dark UI theme, but that happens with GNOME some times.
