I am so excited by this. I have been plastic bag free for a few years now, and I offer the following insight to help inspire and inform. I've had a huge problem with plastic bags for years. When the movement came to cut down on their use a decade or so ago, many stores just made them thinner and shittier,…
A very interesting Secrets of the Dead on Richard III's probable ability to be an effective warrior despite his physical limitations... lots on armor and combat techniques, too. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/r…
I was hanging this week with a friend from Norway. Apparently the best selling car in Norway is the Tesla — you get huge benefits for owning an e-vehicle including free parking, free access to special driving lanes, and government-backed incentives that halve the cost of the car. One can debate the real eco-impact of…
Put a plate of meatballs at the top and we'll talk.
I can't express how much I love this.
Many, many, many years ago, I was able to go inside this hangar with some friends who had clearance — was truly one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. I believe it's part of a school now. I'd love to go again.
(Argh. Kinja erased the rest of my edit. Waking up from NyQuil coma.) Most DNA forensics use DNA testing in addition to the physical forensics. The fact that they have a provenance for the shawl, that it was never washed, that the weave and design it was traced to a place linked to the suspect, and that there were…
Sorry, I mis yped (on my phone). They have the same amount but the quality if the DNA varies, so (from what I understand through my genealogy testing) researchers get more viable mito dna from a woman than a man. In any case, the trace is not that old so whether they trace the mt dna line or do an autosomal test, it…
Men have mitochondrial dna. It's just not as much, or as full a sequence, as in women.
Miley bought a homeless man with her. His name was Robin Thicke.
I can't imagine that, whether it's East Coast or West, a national investment in desalinization plants would be a bad idea. We could rebuild water tables, refill aquifers, and have water and food security for generations to come.
It's still on netflix!!!
Fake boobs. Fake hair. Fake face. Any surprise?
FYI, an earlier post of mine on Buzzfeed's post on women's apps blowing up in their face — surprised this didn't get traction. http://lostwalllet.kinja.com/buzzfeed-feels…
I want to applaud you for bringing this to the forefront and calling out Gawker's leadership on this issue. I have not experienced any of these yet (I guess a unforeseen benefit from rarely viewing all comments), and would probably shrug it off if I did, but an editor's job should not be to defend the site from these…
working right now on my biceps — that second leinenkugel summer shandy ain't gonna lift itself. proof:
The only redeeming part of that movie was the idea of Lizzie stepping so easily and comfortably into 21st century life, and rocking a short haircut (love Gemma Arterton). Everything else was just dreadful.
Vanity projects like this drive me crazy — this was design done for their portfolio not the real world. Some low-points:
