Indeed. Putting that on tomorrow’s to do list.

Killing predators, especially apex predators, also has an enormous effect on the ecosystem and the predator population. Predators generally take longer to reach sexual maturity (I think it's 30+ years for great white sharks) and have fewer young. They can't rebound from being hunted like prey species can.

Also prevents things from being dropped into the toilet bowl. Win win win!

Oh, shit, yeah. That was probably supposed to go under a different comment. I blame kinja!

It's not necessarily as conscious as you might be thinking. I just finished buying a house. I'm white, and there are two big areas of my city that are majority black and a lot of white buyers avoid. My RE agent literally forgot, multiple times, that I was totally comfortable buying in those neighborhoods. (Favorably…

A formal cover letter is totally weird, but I wrote the sellers of my home a note about how much I liked it, basically, that put me ahead when I tied for top bidder. I think it's always been a thing.

You can take the nuvaring out briefly without reducing its effectiveness, up to 3 hours IIRC.

Not replying to that fucking simpleton as I don’t care to engage her, but she’s citing VAERS as proof that hundreds of people have been killed by the MMR vaccine.

Judy Clarke, one of the Tsarnaev’s defense attorneys, has done a ton of high profile cases where guilt is fairly obvious. One of her motivations is opposition to the death penalty, so she primarily works on getting life in prison rather than execution.

Oh, interesting. I am an alumna of a college that went through something similar - mismanaged in a way that appears to have been designed to make the college look financially troubled. They were similarly taken over by an alumni group and actually just graduated their first class since reopening! So good luck -…

White or not, she's 37. Not a kid, and not part of the current generation even if you use an extremely generous boundary.

IIRC she does have at least 1 child that she gave birth too.

Completely my bad! I somehow only read half of your comment and got mixed up.

Consider the source, though. This is a woman who apparently made up multiple hate crimes. Isn't it possible that she was treated completely fairly by her teachers, but just felt uncomfortable being a minority, or no longer being treated with privilege?

There were multiple factories in the building with different owners, so that's some of the total.

His parents owned factories that were in the building. The NYT quote is a little clearer with their punctuation: “Among those charged were Sohel Rana, the owner of the building; his parents, the owners of several factories in the building; and at least a dozen government officials”.

Craigslist has huge warnings everywhere about common scams and plenty of people still fall for 419 stuff posted there.

In my experience, cystic acne is pretty hard to treat without a dermatologist. :( Everything I tried, for years, did nothing but scar my face and make me sad.

I'm 99% sure All-Clad recommends BKF to clean their products. So yeah, go for it.
