Don't release your pets. Ever. Most likely, they will die horribly. If they survive and find others to reproduce with, then you've got a breeding population which is not endemic to the area and has high potential to cause damag

Why, when trying to determine what an ancient reptile looked like, would you use mammal species for all your references? Just in my experience, reptiles tend to have fat deposits in different configurations to mammals.

A lot of people get nauseated their first time or two with snus or dip. I definitely got myself sick my first time with dip, but I had no idea what I was doing and put way too much in. Didn't stop me from trying it again. I still use

Mustangs behave pretty much the same as other horses when confronted with something scary. They're not really any different to work with than any other unhandled horse. Mustangs are not wild horses, btw. They're feral horses de

Your local audobon society chapter can probably get it to the correct people. You can also try a local university. They usually have an extention office for this sort of thing. Animal control is worth trying as well.

I guess that's the weirdest part. The guy that referred to Gem Twist as a racehorse does artificial insemination for horses as a profession. So the basis of his career is horse breeding. He conflates racing and show jumping and eith

I'd expect that kind of rhetoric from one of you lumpers. Seriously though, the more I learn about speciation, the more I realize how imperfect our system is at categorizing life. Obviously lots of cases are pretty clear-cut, but ther

With regards to Murkas Gem, the cloned horse, I'm kind of surprised that anyone is surprised that he's shorter than the original horse. When you geld a horse at the correct time, they often end up bigger than they would have if l

Thanks for expressing what I was trying to figure out how to put into words. I feel no animosity towards the folks stuffed in a call center for crap wages. I'm irritated with the company that outsourced their support to India and pay

I'm pretty sure most patrons would not be comfortable with the server losing money for something they have no control over. I'm certainly not going to refuse to tip them to make some kind of statement that only punishes them. I g

I will admit that I gave a really shitty tip the other week. I ordered the salad bar. All she had to do was refill my pop and settle the bill. She dropped the check off and didn't come back for 15 minutes. I walked over to the bar

by msrenee 5y ago
You're not really voicing your dissent at that point. The server gets no tip and doesn't get any indication why. Why not just bring cash to tip? Or call the restaurant and talk to the manager? Not tipping doesn't accomplish

Did I reply to the wrong comment? I thought I was replying to one about how the Netherlands doesn't cover cancer screening under its national healthcare.

I don't think blood tests for allergies are a regular thing anywhere. It's generally done if you can't have the skin testing and the skin testing is something you go to a specialist for. It's not something that's

No mammograms? No pap smears? No prostrate screening? That's shocking.

by msrenee 5y ago
I'd need to know more about the specific types of cancer this screening covers to say anything for sure. However, the errors that cause cancerous growth are more common than most think and many are not life-threatening. I think that&

Your scenario requires a lot of people to give up their personal freedoms and happiness for the good of whichever individuals' lives would be improved by their sacrifice. Let's add in that all men not married by the age of 21 sho

To be more precise: do not chug liters of water without supplemental electrolytes. What kills people is the fact that salts are water-soluble and are flushed out as you drink water. It's not the volume of water that's inherentl

by msrenee 5y ago
You need to replace the salts in your body if you're drinking large amounts of water. Sodium and potassium are what signal muscles to fire. If you drink excessive amounts of water without supplementing electrolytes, you end up with wa

This isn't the hottest month though. And the air temperature doesn't have to be 122F, just the dish.

I was kind of confused when I saw that seal. My immediate reaction was that it was an aurochs. I wouldn't have thought it was anything else without the description. Now I need to read up about what cultures were familiar with the au

It doesn't sound like the horn was preserved during fossilization. Archeologists are inferring that they had one, as most (all?) species of rhino had one and the skull structure implies rather a large one.

I'll bite. I actually figured out I had narcolepsy through a pharmaceutical company's big campaign to push a couple newer drugs they have the patents for. "Are you more than tired?". Well, yes. I'm tired all the

That's really interesting to me. I take methylphenidate as a (doctor prescribed) stimulant and don't get the euphoria much at all. Maybe a little bit the first time I take an increased dose. 5 mg made me feel drugged and tired

Yeh-van-gel'-ee-ay to be more precise. I really suck at transliterating. With a hard G "guh" sound, rather than the kind of soft G/J sound it has in English. I need to learn IPA.

I'm pretty sure "guest" comes from Old Norse, not Latin. And hostile came from Latin through French. They've got the same PIE root though, which is what's interesting. Same root, just from before the germanic an

Just to nitpick a bit, it's евангелие - evangelieh. Well, in Russian it is. I just realized you were talking about old church Slavonic. I just saw modern Cyrillic and went straight to Russian. As far as I can figure out without any

Yep. Narcoleptic here. Sort of the opposite problem where I sleep 9 hours and wake up exhausted and continue to struggle until I fall asleep again. I mention that I'm tired and I get the whole maybe you're sleeping too much, don&

It also takes 2 guys and a complete halt of the process. If you could just drop something in there that would do the job, that may actually save money over the long run. Especially if you could keep dispensing while it's working.
