Also the real bones are often too heavy to support in a display, so lighter replica pieces are used.

Oops! Thanks

The chemical most places use for drycleaning is perchloroethylene, or perc, which can contaminate groundwater if not stored or disposed of properly.

I used to operate a drill rig for taking soil and water samples. I learned to read all the utility markings and to spot the telltale markings of previous drill work. I can walk around an urban area and tell you where all the gas stations and drycleaners used to be just based on a look at the pavement. In that sense I can “see” things others can’t.

It would actually be pretty funny to send them the data they want but only from districts that voted Republican. (Of course they shouldn’t ACTUALLY do this but the idea is appealing).

We really need to stop electing people who think following the law is optional.

Plants only absorb CO² and release oxygen when photosynthesizing, which requires sunlight. At night plants undergo cellular respiration where they absorb oxygen and release CO². Some sealed terrariums haven’t had any water, air, or fertilizer for decades.

It would be more economical to pay for people to relocate and train them for new jobs. There’s plenty of room in cities and suburbs for the displaced. To be clear, I’m not talking about getting rid of towns of 5000; I’m talking about towns of a population of 500 or less.

Hey, if they want to stay when the water, electric, sewage, roads, fire department, police, and all other publicly subsidized services are removed they are welcome to it. We all shouldn’t have to pay because a handful of people can’t adjust to the century they live in.

I’ve said it before, but we need to start shutting down all these miniscule towns that have no reason for existing. They are nothing but an economic and social drain on the country.

Some do, but they happen less and there is legal recourse when it does happen.

Without civil rights there is no equity or social justice. It isn’t just about getting married. It’s about getting fired for being out. It’s about being denied housing for being out. It’s about being jailed for sodomy or dragged behind a truck until you are dead.

Except both those issues were wedge issues chosen by Republicans to gain votes from the religious. Those weren’t major platforms for Democrats until Republicans forced the issues.

The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

Those victories are very much NOT symbolic to gay people and women. They are very real and very crucial to their welfare.

Ah yes, Ronald Reagan, staunch proponent of a right to abortion and gay marriage.

Drug dealers everywhere rejoice since they can inflate their prices without as much legal competition.

I would bet good money that she banged a guy in his 30s when she was 15 and she is REALLY invested in maintaining the personal illusion that she wasn’t victimized.

Fuck you Dick Durbin you backstabbing coward.

It’s one way to get universal healthcare I suppose.

Filibuster ends. Trump adds 7 new justices to the Supreme Court. The next democratic president adds 14 justices to offset Republican picks. The next Republican president adds 28 new justices and on and on…

Within 40 years the entire population of the United States is on the Supreme Court.
