We all know Hurricanes jumped the shark with the Katrina. Sure there’s been a few decent seasons after that, but it’s run it’s course and it’s really time to wind it down. It should draw some big ratings for the finale.
Variety reports there’s a spin-off in the works.
If you voted for Trump you voted for hurting people. This is what you voted for.
Happening already. US trans people are coming to Canada and applying for asylum now.
Apparently your alternative media news has never shown you the palaces the Hamas political leadership in Qatar lived in. I’m using past tense there because most of them are dead now.
But the billions of dollars they hoarded still exists, it’s not like the government of Qatar is going to freeze the assets of Hamas.
You shouldn’t assume that because the people living under an authoritarian regime are poor, the leaders of that regime are also poor. In fact the opposite is more often true.
I mean, some of the taxanomic divisions do have common names as well - jawed fish and ray-finned fish
Searching for “jawed fish” takes me here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnathostomata
But that’s jawed vertebrates. So I’m not sure which taxonomic group you’re referring to when you’re saying “jawed fish”. The wiki page indicates salamaders are in the Gnathostomata group. Are salamanders considered to be jawed fish?
I think this just goes to further prove that using english words for taxonomy just causes a lot of confusion. My search results for “jawed fish” also returns a lot of results from national park sites and yeah, that kind of terminology for a national park conversing with a layperson is fine. Close enough for a layperson, but for a biologist they probably should use Gnathostomata when that’s what they’re talking about.
Was that the weird chapter that was just a biology lesson, but was also completely wrong?
Probably, but it’s been awhile since I read it. But it would be insane to read Moby Dick expecting it to be a good biology text book. You have to read it as people’s understanding of biology and terminology in the past, which is why I referenced it in the context of the evolution of linguistics about ocean animals.
It’s why taxonomy uses latin for this… the definition of english words are based on common usage which isn’t going to line up to any kind of scientific categorization. English is always changing and scientific categorization is also always changing when there’s more empirical data. These changes are independent of each other so it was wisely decided long ago to not even try to make english words consistent with scientific taxonomy.
So in common usage, yeah it’s based around the general shape but it isn’t a whale (big mammal) a dolphin (a relatively smaller mammal). A shark might be called a fish but more likely someone will just call it a shark instead of just using just “fish”. This is fine for communication among laypeople, if marine biologists are having a conversation about those same animals, they break out the latin and there’s no confusion.
Also my understanding is that in medieval times, the word whale actually refereed to a specific species of whale… what we know call the Right Whale, which is nearly extinct. So a word for a species became a word for a group of species and then it was awkward how to refer to that original species. What kind of whale is that? “It’s a whale whale… you know the original whale… the proper whale… the right whale.” There’s actually a paragraph in Moby Dick about this.
English is weird and changes in weird ways. Just use latin if you want to be scientifically precise.
It’s a propaganda mission. The port is under blockade so the ship will be boarded. This is something that’s legal under international law everyone knows this and everyone knows it will be boarded. The point isn’t to bring aid to Gaza, the point is to create a video of Israel boarding the ship.
The ghouls that monetize the suffering Hamas has created want you to watch and are hoping someone dies so they can monetize it, just as they’ve monetized every aspect of the suffering of Palestinians. Since they’ve successfully monetized human suffering they seek to extend the war as long as possible to maximize profits.

Disney, the makers of Bambi, the Lion King, and Up paid $4 billion to own Star Wars. They made a trilogy about death.
We didn’t expect that, but we probably should have.
So, it Depends?
He’s history’s greatest monster!
It’s impossible to know, the economy is complex. Even your example of flour may be affected. Many things aren’t done by hand, and if a machine used in producing flour needs parts that’s sourced from China, there could be a problem that disrupts production. Many things from China comes by ship there’s already been a significant drop in shipping from there. Remember it takes more than a month for a ship to cross the Pacific, and from there it may need to go by rail to where you are. If you live towards the east coast, it will take longer, and if there’s disruptions at the Panama Canal, there could be even more of a delay.
Shipping was busy before the tarrifs, companies were frontloading and warehouses are full. But if people start panic buying, that’ll empt the warehouses really quick and it could be months before anything new gets shipped in and who knows what the prices will be?
Some stuff that’s made in China might be fine if no one panic buys is. Some things made in USA there may be shortages or massive price increases because they need materials from other countries to manufacture them.
So the generic prepper stuff is pretty much the best anyone can offer you. Make sure you have a month’s supply of everything you need, more if possible. You’d need to know the specifics of every industry’s material needs and also know what people might panic buy to be able to be more specific than that.
This is why Trump’s broad tariffs are insane, it’s just pure economic chaos that’s going to hurt Americans more than it will hurt anyone else in the world.
Hell I’d be open to an EU style organization between Canada, California, and any other state that secedes because they prefer democracy over fascism.
It’s funny that Trump says Canada isn’t a viable country because he’s making the USA into non-viable country. The hatred in the red states towards states like California was kinda there already, but he’s just fanning those flames. It seems various regions of the US are forming into distinct cultures with very different values. Maybe the US is just too big to be sustainable.
Yeah people keep saying California should be a province of Canada which is ridiculous. Why not suggest something that’s plausible?
California should be it’s own country. It’s got a higher population than Canada and a much larger economy. They’d no longer need to continue subsidizing states that are happy when the guy they put into power denies them emergency aid in a disaster. They could have their own emergency relief fund they’d administer themselves, and they could set their own immigration policy.
Obviously you need to consider how much ravioli you’re making when choosing which ravioli pot to take down from your ravioli pot shelf.
Vikings also believed that drinking cod liver oil would make them stronger. Turns out, cod liver oil is high in vitamin D which mitigates seasonal depression which is kinda important in northern latitudes.
It doesn’t cost $8 per copy to manufacture. I can get a writable 64GB SD card delivered to my door for less than that. And a plastic case is pennies to manufacture.
It’s more about preventing people from trading or selling games with other people after they’ve finished playing them.
I don’t know if the Safe Third Country agreement would apply to this, since the US wouldn’t be the Third Country. Wouldn’t that only apply if she went from somewhere else in the world to the US and then to Canada. She’s from the US, not from somewhere else coming to Canada via the US. I think if it did she would’ve been deported immediately.
But yeah ending the Safe Third Country agreement needs to be a priority. They’re sending people to a gulag down there FFS, it’s definitely not a safe third country for asylum seekers by any stretch of the imagination.
