Do they get super soft or are they still firm? When I tried putting daikon in curry it kind of turned into neutral mush, which was fine but not what I was expecting.

It happened a few days ago and she walked the comments back within 24 hours, apparently.

John Commerford, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s legislative arm, said Pirro’s remarks “highlight the need for Congress to pass H.R. 38, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.” That bill, introduced last year by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), would allow anyone with a state-issued concealed carry license to carry a firearm in any other state.

The cynic in me says it’s staged to drum up support for this deranged bill.

Getting a little outside my area of knowledge at this point, but my understanding is the main reason is that clades allow for much more granularity than the Linnean taxonomic system. Linnean classification gives a maximum of 7 ways of classifying a species, while clades are only limited by the number of scientifically sound distinctions you can make between groups of species and their ancestors/descendants.

Example: check out the wikispecies entry for mallards, which are part of 40+ clades (hit the expand link under the Taxonavigation heading)

Me after realizing the premise I hinged my entire essay on was faulty and just writing around it instead of starting over

I’ll pay you $50 to take him away, and that’s my final offer!

Wait, come back, how about $100? $200?

Clades are used for classifying birds and everything else, it’s just a little messier than the neat Kingdom/Phylum/Order/etc way of laying out evolutionary history. If you think of a species as being a specific pinpoint on the tree of life, clades are more like drawing a circle around a lot of pinpoints and branches.

But yeah, biology is nothing but ‘the last thing we taught you was an oversimplification!’ all the way down.

What am I missing here?

That untangling evolutionary history is really messy :D It’s not part of Kingdom/Phylum/Class/etc classification, but biologists also use clades to understand evolutionary history. Birds and theropod dinosaurs belong to the clade Theropoda, and to the clade Saurischia which includes some more dinosaurs, and they all belong to the Dinosauria clade which includes all dinosaurs.

The division (as interpreted by evolutionary biologists) between birds and the rest of Saurischia is smaller than the division between Saurischia and the rest of Dinosauria. So, if everything in Dinosauria is a dinosaur, so are birds.

So Trump will be first in line to sign up, since he’s made statements about how he thinks he’s probably not (lol) getting into heaven?

Thank you for the warning.

Kenneth Copeland

Trump is evil, but this man remains the only person I’ve seen I’m convinced is an actual demon. Video of him sets off my fight or flight response so hard.

I think you’re confusing the LAPD and LASD, the latter of which is rife with gangs. If the LAPD has gangs, it doesn’t compare with the LASD.

They still suck either way.

Someone out there is weeping, retracing their every step. ‘My Malört O’Brien! Where is my Malört O’Brien?!’

I’m caught between thinking it’s a really stupid billionaire flex (interpret my unfiltered gibberish, peasant) and thinking he was actually just sub-literate.

Honestly I’m really interested to see what judge is finally going to be pushed to the point that they deputize people to go make sure it happens. I think nobody wants to go there because they’re afraid of what will happen, but I’m more afraid of what will happen if we continually allow courts to be optional for this regime.

other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops

That is a choice he made, not something that just happened, and it resulted in at least a million (likely many more) civilian deaths in their own territory.

The provincial government

Gee, I wonder who put the provincial government in charge in a British colony? 🙄

Probably referencing this, and similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

They already do that with a lot of hot topic articles. As is, there are a lot of protections in place and it’s very difficult for real vandalism or propaganda to stay on Wikipedia for long without someone noticing it and flagging/removing it.

simple.wikipedia.org exists for anyone who wants easier to understand articles.

The red hats in the article literally come from historical resistance to Nazis:

The “melt the ICE” hat takes inspiration from Norway, according to staff of Needle & Skein yarn shop in St. Louis Park, Minn., who shared the pattern on the popular crafting site Ravelry last month. Minnesota has one of the highest concentrations of residents who claim Norwegian ancestry, according to state demographers.

The red tasselled hat, called a nisselue in Norwegian, was a symbol of patriotism and protest against Nazi occupation during the Second World War.

That’s really cool! I wonder what caused it? It looks like there must be some melting involved for it to bend like that? Is it still soft, or has it frozen hard?

E: maybe the wind is involved? It reminds me of some wind-swept snow piles.
