I believe in your explanation you're saying it's their fault for how they are incentivising the timing?

Oh, it's an hour later as your loved ones in the car don't make it and you're told your injuries are life changing. Crushed with pain and guilt, all for swerving for the one fucking squirrel exactly as you've always been told not to.
Harmful to THEIR solar rollout. And as I said, fuck PG&E. Let's all just get out own rooftop solar and batteries to fuck their shit up.
They are just cancelling the programs where they buy excess solar energy. The solution is simple, residential batteries to store the excess yourself. It probably creates even more money for households that do create excess at peak hours since they charge more for peak energy hours.
Fuck PGE. The switch to off grid solar, panels connected to batteries that power your house, and a intake switch that only reconnects your house to the grid to top off the batteries at non-peak hours, a long with elimination of natural gas for heating, should eventually see PGE profits drop significantly.
Wondering if it's weird is weird. Go enjoy your park.
They are absolutely smart and dexterous enough.
That's a good point about the sea corroding everything though, they'd have to move to land for industry.
It would start with farming. They already use tools, building fish and mollusc farms would be a likely start.
They can scurry across land in short bursts already. Bringing salt so they can explore freshwater streams and rivers seems possible. Digging canals they can travel in up further into the land seems possible.
They actually wouldn't even need to mine, humans have already done most of that already. They just need to salvage.
You fundamentaly misunderstand evolution if you think a bird wing would evolve into a hand.
You're thinking about it like intelligent design. This would be a good idea, so it will surely happen.
Evolution requires many generations of slight variations each being slightly beneficial over the last.
Crows would sooner develop hand like feet than lose their wings.
Edit:
Also, we're talking about mining? Let's put a crow wing and octopus tentacle in an arm wrestling match. The octopus crushes the whole crow, bones and all, with one tentacle. It's not even close. Birds are fucking fragile.
You underestimate how important hands are to the human dominance. Cephalopods have tentacles, and 8 of them. That's the only thing even slightly comparable to hands. Beaks and bird feet developing industry? Not happening.
While dolphins and crows are as intelligent as your average American, they simply lack the means to manipulate the world in a way that leads to technological development.
Look at me, says the optometrist.
