And have no interest in saying “hey guys, we’re here, don’t worry, we’re not going to eat you/take over your planet. We just came to drop off a casserole and prevent nuclear war.”

The implication is that she should feel guilty. After all the most important “person” is the unborn one, not the real child. The real child is just a fetus machine who’s life doesn’t count because she’s born and female.

I hope he gets eaten by alligators while being filmed by Fox and no one intervenes to help him because we wouldn’t want the alligator to feel any sort of guilt later.

That made me so angry too. Like, get the fuck over it, not everyone feels guilty about their abortions. This is obviously a harmful stereotype and I wish it would die already.

One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

His rationale for such a decision is two-fold Huckabee explained, it protects both fetus and mother: “There are two victims. One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

Higher production costs - a second color and additional material to weigh down one side - for probably a negligible result. I’m guessing. Because the idea was probably...

This is an important question. We know that it is impossible to create a completely sterile environment, because even our best attempts, settle for small amounts of microbes being present.

IPAs aren’t about just the bitter flavour that you don’t like, it’s a nice balance of hoppy citrus and bitter. The double and triple IPAs are sweeter so you don’t even get that harsh bitter aftertaste. Look for nice double from a local brewery. Live a little, you might find that you like it.

We can't all drink Budweiser

No, the author of this article should have explained it better. Approximately every rainfall chart ever uses this color scheme, but since she talks about the drought and the headline is about the drought she does a poor job of priming you to expect that.

I agree - the title is ‘time lapse view of the drought’ - not ‘time lapse view of the rain east of the rockies’. The graphic made me think the drought was spreading from the gulf coast up through the east.

Storms and rainfall levels are generally depicted this way. The thing that makes it confusing is the article title; it should say “time lapse view of rainfall amounts” instead.

The color is awkward - orange and reds show high levels of rainfall, not a lack of rain or of intense heat, as you might expect. The result is that the current situation in the US is exactly the opposite of what you’d think it is from a quick glance at the animation.

“I have a kid who plays back here.”

Pavers with sand allows for water to drain into the soil. My neighbors would kill me if I poured concrete and turned their property into a lake during a rainstorm.

Here’s my backyard which is mostly succulents. I have a kid who plays back here. We don’t miss the lawn. The park’s grass is better anyway. Here are some more reasons not to turn to Astroturf (including some drought-friendly lawn-like alternatives).

The Americans are looking to go to Mars very soon – and I don’t see how we can do that – before going to Mars we should test what we could do on Mars on the Moon.
