Life does give me lemons, I use them to make an excellent dressing for steak-and-lentil salad.

I love my veggies. My husband grows veggies, so I eat some really amazing veggies. That said, don’t know why that would make me want to be a vegan—cheese also tastes good and no vegetable tastes like it.
Meanwhile, in somewhat less time (since 1994) the Gobi Desert has expanded by 25,000 square miles and is now within 100 miles of Beijing. A quarter of China’s covered in sand.
I actually don’t hate this idea. Though the original Mary Poppins is kind of perfect in its own way, it isn’t much like the book. However, the book does have sequels and Mary Poppins is in an interesting non-Julie-Andrews character—intimidating, for one thing—there’s room to go in an interesting, different direction.
40 minutes? What we got and what Pierce shot are going to be very different films. And her intended ending is actually pretty cool.
I’m not talking about total distance walked over days, but ability to maintain a run.
Yeah, well you don’t want to be the “one”—stay in groups and then grandma’s the one.
Depends on what you’re doing. Group of humans threatened by dire wolf—just run faster than the slowest in the pack. Orrr turn it around and chase down that annoying dire wolf—dire wolf gets exhausted and overheated, human hunters move in for the kill.
That’s what I mean about “outrunning”—humans keep going when other…
Depends what you mean by outrun. Humans are really good at running for a long time—everybody else either sprints or walks. We’re the marathoners of the animal world.
There’s a reason we made it to the top of the food chain.
Because the guys probably figured either A) it was just a matter of time and B) it was them, not the site that accounted for their bad luck. Meanwhile, AM has grabbed a couple of hundred off the guy.
I’m guessing that they figured AM might get big enough to finally attract enough real women to hide the bots a bit more and then cover the bots with the disclaimer language about entertainment. But, then, I don’t know how long-term they really thought. One thing they weren’t counting on was having their database made…
Yep. Eddie’s a name. Names mean bigger budgets—both for the actual film and for advertising and distribution. Until very recently, there haven’t been any “name” trans actors. I can think of two: Laverne Cox and Jamie Clayton.
My kid goes to school in one of the top school districts in the country—and there was a debate about whether to continue teaching cursive. The decision to do so was because of literacy. No one reads punch cards, but people do read letters and cards. There’s plenty of cursive around. Those of us who went to school…
I suspect, alas, it has nothing to do with any sort of feminist awakening—more like it’s kind of passe.
True—I don’t have access to the series so I forget about it, but if they age up the heroine—it’s 50 Shades meets Outlander in a lot of ways.
I didn’t say b had to be true for everybody, but if you were in high school in the 90s, you were already knew that you would be doing your college papers on a computer and possibly your ones in high school as well. Personal computers were a rare item when I was in high school—no one typed their papers, so with that…
Yep. I use cursive on a daily basis, but that’s because I did it long enough for it to be completely intuitive. But a fast cursive is no match for my typing speed.
They’re not just reading Divergent, but it’s one of the books they read. John Green books and those akin to John Green are big. So kind of a split between girl heroine in a fantasy/dystopian world and girls in more real fictional environment generally enduring tragedy that would knock us adults down.
Maybe, but the main thing is that cursive is quite a bit faster than print. That’s valuable when you’re writing all your essays by hand—which was standard in secondary school until PCs became cheap. I knew a number of people in college who couldn’t type. They’d write out their reseach papers by hand (in cursive) and…
