Certainly not thinking clearly, and for obvious reasons. I'm all for them proceeding with private treatment, but smuggling an extremely ill child out of the country doesn't seem necessary. Sell the house, schedule the treatment, and THEN take the kid out of the hospital.

Yes, I saw that; that's not what I was asking about.

Yes, but it doesn't seem to imply that they already had a sale arranged. Why take the kid out of treatment for even a week?

I'm sure this is going to be an annoying comment (I'm a bit annoyed at myself for it), but was it really necessary to take the kid with you when you sold the property? I would think it best to leave him in the hospital.

Which is it? Is it safest for someone to leave their abuser, or is it victim-blaming to suggest that this is the best option? No offense, but you seem to be backing both points.

Off the top of my head, I'd find out what your local police response times are like. I'd also recommend having a phone available through the night for emergency services, either a safe place in the house to wait for help OR (if you're in a lot of places I've lived where response time can be 10 minutes or more) how to…

This is the 2nd time I've corme across one of these articles, both of which seem to be written from the POV that the subject should be obvious and thus you go halways through having no clue. Both times I've got "aaahhh, this nonsense again."

Oh wow, man. The stars, man.

I was already debating this species for the future. Now I think I might go with some in a terrarium instead of an aquarium. I'm only 30 now, should theoretically be able to get through 20 generations in my own lifespan...

...That's a horrible pun. I kinda hate you now.

You're correct. I love that actor, and I even kinda like that movie, but he was used waaaaaay wrong. There was none of the actor used but his face.

I worked for a little while as a skycap: they're completely unrelated to the airlines, in the sense that you don't really interact directly with them much. I can kinda allow it.

Dear lord why.

As someone with a biology degree, a background in medicine, and more than a bit of an armchair herpetologist: I know this.

Dalek had the correct response. Even figuring from the title, I had pretty much the same "oh shit" reaction as the Doctor with the reveal. What that brought out of him; the fear and the rage; was perfect. A close tie for second would be The Stolen Earth/Journey's End and Victory of the Daleks; the first for…

Rhino horn is fingernails. Snake venom is a complex broth (hah, see what I did there...) or proteins and peptides designed to latch onto cellular material. That and most venom also have an analgesic effect.

Dried cobra venom is actually prescribed in herbal medicines a lot. In small doses there are some distinct health benefits.
