I think I’ve seen every episode of their reality show, she is awesome and brave and adorable, and her entire family seems so great and close knit and supportive and loving. I may have a small crush on her dad as well.

Listen, we’re going to make dinosaurs great again, okay? Believe me.

So smart, we definitely need some plucky kids to make sure we appeal to a broad demographic. If you’ve read the thread above you know we’ve been cautious to a fault about safety.

It would turn out to be an eatery? You mean like we would have a good restaurant on site? I assume that’s your meaning because I can’t see any other interpretation to saying the park would turn into an eatery.

I like where your head is at. What kind of experts you thinking - herpetologist maybe? Dunno though, they aren’t really Dino specific. Are there any types of scientists that study dinosaurs for a living?

This is some good brainstorming. I like the Lysine idea. At the risk of being overly cautious, maybe we also make sure they are all lady dinosaurs so they can’t reproduce without us smart scientists.

I can’t be bothered with facts, I’ve got a park to run.

That’s exactly right. Saying they would figure out how to escape the pen would be like saying nature always finds a way. Utter nonsense.

That’s a good way to put it. It would be like a park for creatures from the Jurassic period. Will need to come up with a catchy name to convey that.

Nah it’ll be totally fine. We’ll put them on a tropical island where they can’t escape. Not that it matters because what, the raptor is going to figure out how to open a door? I don’t think so. Maybe we could even generate some revenue for research to bring back other dinosaurs by letting people pay to come check out…

Do ittt. This is like that black letter contracts case in law school where if an offer is specific enough and anyone can claim it they have to pay out.

1. Cavatappi is the best pasta for mac and cheese for a number of reasons. The spiral means more cheese/dairy per bite, also it is less likely to turn to total mush when cooking, so you have a little texture in the dish. 100% agree, lobster is wasted on mac and cheese.

Corroborated by another former classmate.

That is not one of the explanations I’ve gotten from her, but is interesting. She says that growing up in the Soviet Union made them all very wary of large government, hence a lot of them being Republicans. Also, sounds like a fair amount of Russians she knows are single-issuer voters (abortion), but also that…

It’s so horrible, it’s such an obvious (to anyone with any critical thinking capacity) intentional misreading of emails. And it’s so ludicrous it would be funny, up until the point that some yahoo went and shot up the pizza place. Which, I am almost glad happened, because no one was injured but it shows the real,…

Haha you are my official internet best friend (yes, we’re official, deal with it).

One of my best friends is Russian (she came as a refugee), and has a big network of other Russian jews and says the vast majority of them are Republicans,  Trump supporters, and pretty much okay with the Muslim ban, and a lot of his other policies. She’s explained the basis of their mentality to me but it still blows…

Obviously the takeaway is that wearing confederate flag shit is disgusting and any fools who try to say liberals are the only ones focusing on race/it’s not really a problem are denying what is obviously a huge issue in St Louis, and in this country in general. But yes, I also want to be precise about where it is…

It doesn’t make it any less racist, true, but you’re painting a broad brush by saying it was in StL burbs. There is definitely still racism there (institutionalized, and it is still pretty segregated), but no way would kids in those school systems (Webster, Clayton, Kirkwood, U-City) show up in confederate…

Dangit, I didn’t read all the way down the thread before posting my lame Hamilton joke and you had beaten me to it. Well done.
