That’s certainly a possibility, but it doesn’t seem like the most likely explanation to me.

If the child stayed in the native community wouldn’t that imply that they would likely grow up to have a child with someone else in that community? And that their descendants would be more than half a percent native genetically?

duh doy

I dunno. It rains in Portland too but every time I’m there I see loads of people on bikes.

Given the right bicycle it’s pretty easy, but that’s beside the point. The question is why don’t people use bike lanes that seem pretty nice on the surface of it, right? There has to be a reason other than “bikes suck and nobody wants to ride them,” because in some places people go everywhere on bicycles and they love it.

So what, really, is the main difference between those places and your town, if it’s not the quality of the bike lanes?

That sounds expensive. How many roads have such bike lanes? Hypothetically, if you wanted to replace a trip to the grocery store, how useful would they be?

I have literally never seen the idea of a 15 minute city being restrictive anywhere other than the ravings of Alex Jones tier wingnuts. Everybody who actually pushes the concept just thinks you should have a grocery store, a doctor’s office, a library etc. near your house.

Edit: and don’t get it twisted, nobody is saying you should be forced to relocate either, it’s a guideline for urban planning.

If people aren’t using the bike lanes it’s usually because they’re shit bike lanes.

I hate to be that guy in this case but he has not been convicted, and so he is an alleged murderer. He deserves the pre-trial treatment we would like to be given to someone who has been wrongly accused.

I wish him a speedy trial and a very fucking long execution.

Not that it’ll stop them from trying but the constitution does say you have to be a natural-born citizen.

Who’s on worse drugs?

If I’m being honest I read the one sentence, thought “oh that’s really funny in light of the top comment,” came back to share the bad news, and forgot about the article entirely.

I have some bad news about the first sentence in the article

They are quite similar, to the point that redbacks are sometimes called “Australian black widows” over here

Ah, but if we’re splitting hairs then we must consider that none of the wee beasties in the image are true bugs.

I feel like the cigarettes are the least of the bot’s problems

The life support machine called…

I think Abraham Lincoln’s head just did that.

During the siege of Leningrad they actually did have to resort to cooking in machine oil, among other awful things. Of course they were almost all women, because the men were fighting the war

I read in popular science that it might be possible to use a variety of different kinds of gases to carry heat, or perhaps some kind of radiant heat or even radio waves to cook food. But sadly this fantastic technology is still just fiction. I hope I get to see a form of cooking that doesn’t involve immersing food in hot liquid. I wonder what it would taste like.
