Perhaps the author can tell us what Rio Tinto is mining and what companies buy the resources they extract? Then we could tell companies that we don’t like the corporation they are doing business with. Right now there’s no way for consumers to voice our dislike of the company, because a regular person isn’t going to…

Jacob Mundell plays a character in The Expanse who has some sort of injury or birth defect (I don’t recall if it was made clear exactly what had caused it) the descriptions of him in the books match the actors own, real arm with no prosthetic. Actually the show has such genius casting that it’s unsurprising they got…

Alyse... they aren’t called “Snoopy hats” because they work poorly which is what you’ve said. They’ve been called Snoopy hats since the first one was fabricated because Snoopy is a cartoon beagle who has ink-black ears and a white (newsprint paper) top of head. The hats are sewed of three pieces of fabric, two are…

And people don’t do that now?

Yessenia, I have one question about the article. This is a National Wildlife Refuge. Those are managed under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I don’t understand why the Bureau of Land Management, an entirely different agency, is writing the environmental impact statement. Can you clarify? I’ve been away from the…

No one has even stopped to think that teenagers can outgrow their clothes quite suddenly, having growth spurts is almost part of the definition of adolescence. I remember one year growing maybe 2 or 3 inches and my pants being quite short unexpectedly.. Also as someone said below, one piece clothing doesn’t fit every s…

Fixing a problem caused by humans isn’t playing God. In fact since God asked humans to care for his creation, it’s an obligation. Not one recognized by most evangelicals, but it’s right there in the beginning of the Bible. As God’s image bearers in creation, we were intended to act as God’s representatives. We were…

I’m not sure whether this woman recorded “Channel 12" WHYY which was where ‘Dr. Who’ aired in the 70s in the Philadelphia market, but her archives (as I understand it, nearly 24 hours every day) of THREE DECADES of TV are being made available. I don’t think she was taping early enough to help with the first doctor,…

The mayor of Philadelphia - he was merely a city councilmember. My daughter and his daughter were in summer camp at an art museum together, and one week the campers designed clothes and were having a little fashion show. I volunteered to help and was “guarding the door” so no boys from the camp would bust in as the…

When I was teaching, I had a child who had bright red hair and a fair complexion. To me, her mother looked like your average white person, while her dad was more brown but his facial features looked basically white to me, maybe a little native central American. Because I knew this child was bilingual, I figured they…

Is Little Monsters bassed on Mira Grant’s “All the Pretty Little Horses”? It sure sounds like the premise.

I currently have an elderly cat diagnosed with dementia, if she misses her med dose she gets confused about where we are, why she’s alone, etc and wanders around crying out for us. She’ll cry all night long while we try to sleep since the pulmonologist (breathing doctor) forbid cats in bed. Old kitty just doesn’t know…

Even in one of the foundational works of western literature, the Odyssey, Odysseus’ old dog Argos recognizes him after 20 years — in fact is the ONLY being who recognizes him until he has the change to speak to his wife alone. 10 years Odysseus spent fighting the Trojan War, then 10 years traveling trying to get home.…

I’m sure this is a much preferred state than having a huge brain tumor, but when the article said something similar was done in England and showed the photo of the skull, all I could think of was poor damaged Snitter in the book “Plague Dogs” which made me, as a fully grown adult, cry my eyes out. (and if I ever…

Could her husband’s name be Nick? They cleverly thought it would be like “Nick’s son”? A high school classmate who gave birth in 9th grade named her kid like that. Imagine the dad’s name was Jack and then named him Jackson (that isn’t it but I don’t even remember the dad’s name, but no one in our class was named Jack…

I bet Mary makes “a mean beef stroganoff” though. (also not magazine still NYT, see a pattern?)

Pet thread people... any advice? My 18 year old cat has been to two different veterinary practices, had the works done as far as blood tests, exams, etc. She is physically very healthy “for her age” to quote both vets. Both vets suggested she may have dementia. I feed her the best food our money can buy, but for…

I agree with most of what you’ve said, but I think the Expanse has been unfairly lumped in with others.

The Daleks say “Exterminate” but you’re on the right path.

WHy don’t they cut to the chase, stop calling these things “knights”, and call them Daleks, which they clearly are?
