But the hangovers were murder.

Yeah, that was super irresponsible of them.

We are talking about this person, who was dear to whomever put up the memorial. In a way, we are remembering him, although most likely none of us has ever met him. I'd say this little memorial is serving its purpose.

John Lennon said as much when talking about some of ELO's songs (particularly Mister Kingdom, which borrows a few bars from Across the Universe). He grinned and said something like "Let's not talk about all the stuff I've nicked."

Great minds...

He didn't. He went spear fishing.

I was going to be upset if this wasn't the top comment

It's a hard sausage that doesn't need refrigeration or cooking. You can keep it on the pantry shelf in summertime.

Beautiful sky. Nice fluffy lenticular clouds.

Your post about Julia Rivet introduced this amazing pioneer woman to many of us who had never even heard of her. Isaac evidently took a lot longer to grow up! I'd wager that Julia had a lot to do with that. She seemed the type to put up with no nonsense, not even from her man.

What a life she led! And she had some (figurative) brass balls too. "Think you can take that horse and my son? Think again! Oh, and I'll take this other horse too, with our furs. Bye." She was a great lady.

Can't believe I had to scroll this far for a chin joke.

Domestic dogs (Canis lupus domesticans) can breed with coyotes (C. latrans), which are a different species (in the same genus).

See this article for more. Nomenclature literally means name-calling. So if you're averse to that, please skip. ;)

Both species engaged in ritual behavior of some sort. This may not constitute what we think of as "religion". But the root word in Latin means "that which binds", with the sense of bringing/keeping a community closer together. In this context, we can certainly put H. neandertalensis, as well as H. sapiens, ritual behaviors into the category of religion. They didn't necessarily believe in supernatural beings, but they pretty clearly believed in something beyond their tangible experience.

>The concept of species seems vague and not very scientific.

Scientists know this.

>2009 H1N1 outbreak

I caught that before the vaccine came out. It made me pretty sick (fever, chills, headache, dry cough). My symptoms were typical for that strain. And it was summer, not exactly prime flu season.

In those early days, brain and/or lung involvement was causing severe and even fatal disease and I didn't have that. I stayed in bed and just rode it out.

Same with bison.

The "Killer Rabbit". The whole thing was pretty silly.

I didn't say they should be. I said natural selection is part of evolution, as are phenomena such as founder effect.

It's one mechanism of evolution. If the situation to which the organism is adapting is temporary, natural selection will favor those that survive and reproduce best under those conditions that existed before.

>Frog species around chernobyl have turned pitch black in an adaptation to protect from radiation evolving pigmentation and protection.

This is natural selection rather than evolution, although it certainly does play a part in evolution. It might be a fine point, but it's an important one.

"accident"

He's 80, and still practicing AFAIK. As long as he can do the hard work, he will.

In the Episcopal Church USA, the saying about Lenten discipline is "all may; some should; and none must." It's a personal thing between the communicant and God.
