Not much has changed in Washington DC the last several generations except the average IQ. It’s dropped recently and I blame lead

Shows the limits of an out of control capitalist county with minimal support to the vast majority of its population.

About 2.6 million years ago, there may have been a supernova (or other event) that caused a burst of comic rays lasting 100k years.

I follow this guy, Paul Fellows, on YouTube, and he has re-awakened an interest in astronomy for me during the last few months. He may not have a very large subscriber count, but is well regarded by several.

For those who do not like watching video, here is a link describing some of the research mentioned ,

DNA-busting radiation from star-killing supernova could have influenced evolution on Earth

My grocery bill is much higher than pre-pandemic. I don’t even notice the egg prices.

Human reason is just an extra layer, not so important, except in its threat to existence to all life

Humans will procreate while falling into the chasm. It’s not that we are stupid, but because we are here now after 4 billion years of millions of ancestors in a row did the very same thing. It’s who we are as a group.

Alternatively, perhaps the shoes were winter boots that were meant to be worn with several pairs of socks or some kind of insulation. This theory, Penn writes, is supported by a preserved letter that refers to socks and underpants being sent to a soldier stationed there. Historians also know that archers from Syria lived at Magna, and it’s safe to assume that these men would not have been accustomed to the cold climate of northern England, he adds.

I think this is my favorite theory
