Congratulations on still being here 10 years later.

Really good list, especially with the inclusion of Masks and Alice is Missing.

In the United States, fossils are legally viewed as minerals*, landowners get jurisdiction over minerals, and therefore if a fossil is collected on privately-owned land, it’s up the landowner what happens to the fossil.

These weird Kinja impersonator trolls are a strong reminder that the Kinja community has to do its part in not feeding the trolls. :-)

I’m glad that this particular high-profile auction of a natural history specimen was stopped and I look forward to rich people who have a fondness for dinosaurs choosing to invest in actual research instead of these auctions.

My apologies that Kinja troll dudebr is using this article as a platform to spread nonsense; I look forward to the dismissal of that troll comment.

It’s two days later and my brain is finally clicking in that you are, correctly, stating that humans have dramatically changed the environment of several locations on Earth and therefore, in the current environment, honey bees do play a crucial agricultural and horticultural role.

I’m by no means part of the Jalopnik community but I wanted to thank you and Jalopnik for showing respect and courtesy towards the commenters. We might be* jerks sometimes but we add worth to your blogs. :-)

There were warnings that the Kinja community blogs would be going away, and Jalopnik was one of the few places that actually warned that such an event was going to happen. Search for the Jalopnik article titled

I fell into listening to a few of his books this year and I really appreciated his work. Hope his friends and family are able to find peace after this loss.

No “except” necessary. Those are, as you said, introduced plants. They are not native, and they’re categorized as either introduced or naturalized/established, depending on how widespread they are and how easily they spread without direct human intervention.

I’m very confused on why I had two comments from the troll account RTaylor12 but I dismissed both of them

There is also that martyr complex aspect too, but my point is that Gizmodo provided evidence that this particular martyr complex was fact-based.

Okay!

If you’re not tied to D&D as a property, but instead want a good starter set of roleplaying materials to start or add to an existing collection of TTRPG resources, something like the Pathfinder Beginner Box is a better, if not more expensive, value.

But I can’t be fair and balanced unless I read all sides: correct and incorrect people.
