That’s exactly how I feel about it. It was so very obvious that the important plot decisions were all made by men. I doubt they even noticed the gross imbalance.  And that’s the problem.

Not bad, but on consideration I still prefer the original name. Buzz for insect, zwole = swole, for the exaggerated bodybuilder muscles.  Fits the main aspects.

Trump is a mentally ill ignorant jerk who is liked by no one who knows him. It’s his enablers who have been using him as a front man while they destroy the country and everything worthwhile for short term profit and power. Exposing and punishing Trump isn’t enough. The whole criminal gang that props him up has to…

This kind of thing is why I believe it is actual Amazon company policy to allow fraudulent sellers to use their system without oversight and to stonewall defrauded customers. They removed your public report and delayed and lied until you finally gave up. The seller got away with fraud, and Amazon let it happen and…

Amazon’s ongoing issue with their sellers passing cheap fakes as genuine branded goods is major and unaddressed. I got a cheaply made ripoff instead of the branded knife I ordered, and other stories are everywhere. Also everywhere are stories about how Amazon did not respond to complaints about this and did nothing…

Just wow. Words fail me. But it did remind me of this faux White Savior movie trailer, especially the part where the white guy says his breakthrough experience for totally understanding how it is to live with racism was that time that he got poop on his shoe for five minutes and some people laughed.

In case anyone doesn’t know, this update will be free to current owners of the game, as have been all past updates, and there will be two other significant updates at the same time as part of Beyond. One will give an enhancement for multiplayer gameplay and the other has not yet been described and is the subject of…

It’s all about the central priority. A designer’s goal should be to bring out the unique best in the person wearing their clothing, as Siriano does. The wannabes who whine about being asked to dress non-skinny women don’t care about that, they see the people wearing their clothes, if they see them at all, as…

I think that depends on the definition you are using. Of course “genetic diseases” are generally caused by mutations, only some of which are caused by external forces like retroviral insertion or environmental mutagens/carcinogens; some are spontaneous. But when we are talking about the microbial level of life, which…

I would say diseases caused by bacteria or archaea, unless some form of non-cellular communicable disease preceded that. Bacteria are susceptible to their own types of viruses, so there is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. I am guessing there were replicating cells — ancestors of the archaea and bacteria —…

This story is repulsive for what he did and also the way being rich enough to pay a stable of pricy lawyers and connected enough to weasle out of almost anything warps justice in this country. We know that this caste effect has already worked as usual, given the sweetheart deal he was offered: https://www.wsj.com/art…

A spokeswoman for MLB Network declined to comment when asked who Siano and Kaplan have reported and report to and said, “There have been no reports to human resources of these, or any similar, allegations.”

Is there a systematic process for monitoring the number and egregiousness of bad calls by individual refs? I’d like to have statistics available to identify the consistently worst refs and to have minimum standards of performance, especially for championship games.

Thank you for giving this narrative. It is fascinating, wrenching and important. The dream or semi-dream experiences of people under sedation need to be recognized and both the caregivers and the patients should know more about them and their acute and lingering psychological effects.

I loved to catch and release horny toads (aka horned lizards) when I was a kid, even in my back yard. I would hold them gently a few minutes — you can put them “to sleep” temporarily by petting their heads or tummies — and then let them go. I’m guessing reasons for the decrease include people who catch and don’t…

They’re fast little buggers, and hard to kill. Other scorpions once dodged and stung dinosaurs, and they are still formidable. They, stinging ants, and “stickers,” especially the goats-head ones with the two long spines, are reasons not to go barefoot outdoors in most of Texas.

Even if it was unintentional (which I doubt because these athletes are very experienced in awareness of barriers including other skaters), the failure to apologize or show any concern is egregious and will not be forgotten.  The Ugly American on display.

Good plan! My mother was stung by a scorpion that had climbed inside her robe after she had failed to hang it up one night.  Whenever we found a scorpion in the house, we kept looking because my father swore they often came in pairs.

Thanks! No wonder they were so sluggish. His actions would have been different if the snakes had been actively moving. To the snakes, they were safely ensconced in a nice dry enclosed cave where they were safe from freezing and from hungry predators that might take advantage of their torpor. Rude awakening!

The snakes seemed lethargic. I wonder what the temperature was. It looked like they were laired for the season. I lived in Texas for many years, grew up there, and standard warnings about dangerous wildlife like snakes and scorpions were pretty standard knowledge. There were still encounters and you always had to…
