I think this was mostly to distract people from how he is gutting the US government. Getting rid of USAID, enormous amounts of government employees, the Jan 6th prosecutors and investigators, Trump prosecutors and investigators, online resources and access to government help is too boring to pay attention to when he…

Maximum sea rise from ice melt would be 70 metres.  The sea would have to rise 200 metres for Michigan to have seaside property.

I think what he is saying, is that after New York state sinks into the ocean, what is left of Michigan’s lakefront property will become seaside property.  I guess the people cheered because they hate New York?

I think workforce reduction is the right choice for Tesla.  If they get rid of just one of their executives (and his overcompensation package), they can reduce their business expenses by more than 50%.

Due to the many disadvantages, the explanations for the increase in the average bmi in North America can only be explained by there being associated advantages, or environmental influences. Driving everywhere is necessary in modern times, when people are obligated to work full-time while raising children and…

I’ve never understood the point of Title IX reporting. Sexual assault is a crime that should be reported to police. If the purpose was to send an advocate with the survivor to report to the police, to make survivors feel safer reporting, that would make sense.  If it is to ensure that the school keeps a record of…

The implication between one in three women being victims is not that one in three men are perpetrators. The vast majority of serial abusers have more than one victim. We all know of prolific serial abusers, like Harvey Weinstein or Larry Nassar. Analysis of old rape kits revealed that rapists tend to be serial…

I read the Wired article, and found it engaging and informative. The pull quote that most impressed me was in regards to Sanderson’s low pain reactivity (physical and emotional). “He might not feel, he says, but his characters do. They agonize and cry and rejoice and love. That’s one of the reasons he writes, he…

So, canada has a 27% obesity, and 10 per 10,000 maternal mortality rate. US has 42% obesity rate, and 23 per 10,000 maternal mortality rate. With 64% of US obesity rate, Canada has 43% of the of the maternal mortality rate. Obesity is clearly not the only driver of the high maternal mortality rate in the US.

Clearly you have not read Ovid’s Metamorphoses, specifically Perithous’s wedding and Nessus - according to Ovid, centaurs are rape monsters.

The pronunciation is obvious. X is for the unknown - unknown baby shortened would be No-no. AE is for love. A-12 is for the Arcangel aircraft - baby shortened to Archie. So child could be called No-no, Love, or Archie. Simple.

Have you seen this?

The weather in Victoria is, and will be until about May, rainy. Victoria has two seasons, the rainy season and the tourist season. When googling Victoria, you will likely get results for the Victoria in Australia, as they get more internet traffic, fyi. Victoria is pretty small, the city proper population is under…

The real problem with the back seat of a cop car is that people have puked and urinated all over it (and it smells that way). That’s why the seat has no upholstery (easy cleaning).  Making out in the back of a cop car is disgusting.

Hope someone tells these parents that baby walkers like this are dangerous, and banned in some countries. Take agent-of-chaos baby, and put on wheels and you end up with just over one death and thousands of injuries a year. The walker in this video clearly does not meet the 1997 standards that required them to be too…

It’s more of a minimum standard, especially in a litigious society.

As a parent, I have been present for meetings with my child and speech therapists, psychologists, and Drs. I watched my daughters when they went to ice-skating, gymnastics, swimming, whatever classes. When I was a Brownie leader, there was a 2 leader minimum, a required adult-to-child ratio, and mandatory criminal…

Hi...Sorry about this, but I’m very immature, so I’m going to respond to this.
