The choice they are given, as a result of the society we live in, is eat a plant-based diet with an adoptive family, or be killed by the state.

Unadopted dogs don't get released into the wild to live freely and fend for themselves, they get killed.

The lesser-harm option seems pretty clear.

See the scenarios above. Are you suggesting that dogs would choose death over a life where they dont get to eat their favourite foods?

Scenario 1: you leave the dog at the shelter and it eventually gets killed.

Scenario 2: you bring the dog home and feed it so that it doesn't get killed.

I don't see any ethical issue with my dogs eating the same foods I do. Why would i order the deaths of other animals for the sake of their taste buds?

No, the orginal plan was to ship them all to Madagascar. It is well documented

Literally taking notes from the nazis...

I'd be interested in seeing some data on how the killed:wounded ratio of the war changed once drones became so ubiquitous. A bullet wound or shrapnel from a mortar seems a lot more survivable than what is effectively a grenade to the face.

It really depends on what is inside the house more than what the house is made of. A kitchen fire will typically take much longer to spread than a bedroom fire for example, because one is fairly sparsely furnished, and requires the original ignition source provide enough energy to start pyrolising the structure itself, whereas the other just has to produce enough energy to start your bed/clothing/curtains on fire, starting a chain-reaction.

Instead of worrying about what your house is made from, which is far outside the scope of what most people can control anyway, invest in fire-retardent furnishings.

Fun fact, scribes often didn't do the fancy lettering themselves. Instead they would leave a space reserved for it, then pass it off to a specialist illuminator to add those guys in.

Origninal comment is deleted, so i can't see what you're responding to, but I would like to point out that we have had an ongoing war in Europe for the last three years...

Solar started to beat out nuclear in terms of LCOE a few years ago. We should continue to operate all of our current nuclear reactors as long as it is safe to do so, but planning new builds today given how cheap solar is just doesnt make sense.

I was watching a video just before where an american measured two impact craters on a piece of steel, read off some gibberish fractional inches for each one then commented "my math isnt great, but i think that one is about double". My dude, your calipers read off approximately 5mm and 10mm, your life would be so much easier if you toggled it to metric units.

Mandatory insurance is a recipe for disaster. Compare the cost of insurance in countries where it is mandatory to the cost here, and you will notice that ours is some of the cheapest in the world.

If you give private companies a captive market, prices will go up.
