I remember this being a known thing with dolphins too, but maybe that’s just one of those things you learn as a kid and trust forever

I think all you need to know about this guy is the Vatican asked him to resign a few days ago and he said no. You do not say to no to that sort of thing! He absolutely knew they would remove him and instead of going quietly he said no to make it a big thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for office, or starting his own break off sect of “true Catholics” soon. Good riddance.

Yeah, I don’t love how the publishing industry has to start the hype thing so darn early!

Geraldine Largay, “Inchworm”, was a hiker who went missing off the Appalachian Trail in Maine and died in 2013. It took two years for them to find her body, and it was found only a couple of miles from the trail. Those woods are so thick. If he’s dead if could be a long time until he is found.

The hypocrisy of the modern Republican Party I guess, but what would such an apparently devout Christian man see in Donald Trump of all people?!

And yet the US federal government taxes income earned outside of the US.

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

This is disappointing of Apple. You hire someone like Jon Stewart and you have to expect him to do hard hitting journalism! Apple is one of the biggest companies in the whole world, they can afford to support their journalists. I’m sure HBO has gone to bat for John Oliver for worse.

Pretty sure in Kenya “Kip” translates to something like “son of”. So Kipchogi is “son of Chogi” and Kiptum is “son of Tum”.

We don’t get many declarations of war these days. Usually they are just special military actions, or security operations, or something like that. What makes this different?

I said Capitol… that word isn’t unique to DC.

I read it as Austin at first also. The headline is a bit ambiguous, wish it said which Capitol.

That upgrade from stepsister to stepmom.

Likewise, I do a lot of trail running. If you can afford to run to the trailhead rather than drive, or bike maybe, that’s huge! Try to stick to local trails as much as possible.

I’m one of those who has never seen anything newer than Enterprise. What is this from? Is this a real show?

They prefer North American in my experience, if not simply Canadian.

Quite a few flag on here are just two colors. Japan, Israel, Greece to name a few. As you say, many flags are missing.

Indeed! The colors remind me of the sort of hi-vis markers you see at sea and on beaches. Is this intentional? Makes the flag easier to spot on ships!
