  • Fungi are more related to animals than plants. Fungi produce “flesh.”

    Sea anemones are a group of predatory marine invertebrates constituting the order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the Anemone, a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and Hydra. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.

    They’re a “plant” on the edge of creating a neural system while also producing “flesh.”

    That was Charter/ Spectrum. Verizon TRIED to buy them (Charter), but they turned them down. I’ll edit and link in a second:

    “On May 18, 2016, Charter finalized acquisition of Time Warner Cable and its sister company Bright House Networks, making it the third-largest pay television service in the United States.”

    I worked there, and we had people from Time Warner. It’s on Wikipedia, too.

    AT&T is the king of LA, they’re actually kind of dying. Cox has a strangle hold on San Diego. Spectrum/ Charter is everything in-between. They’ve PAIRED with Verizon to use their towers to extend their internet networks to rural areas. They also paired with Comcast to fight Roku, with a device called “Zumo”. It’s all moving towards wireless internet for everything, except if you’re a gamer or work from home.
