And here all I can think of is that the MOs of serial killers are known. Its a way to track them and catch them. Somehow I doubt they're loved by the investigators trying to catch them.

I'm not saying she's necessarily wrong but that whole concept makes alot assumptions. There are many reasons, of which there is no way I'd be able to list them all, that this wouldn't really hold true. The first is that breaking femur is not easy. In fact most humans will live their entire lives without breaking it. It is entirely in the scope of reason to have a civilization go for decades or centuries without someone falling into this category. Second, if you do break a femur it was probably a pretty nasty injury. It's extremely likely that that wasn't the only injury and complications can occur quite easily. If the person died from an infection or as a result of other injuries then of course their femur wouldn't be healed. That doesn't mean someone wasn't there trying to take care of them. I'm sure there are lots more scenarios. While I get the intent of what she said as a professor I'd think she take a little more care in what she says.

Hmm... Hurricane Dorian: formed- August 24, 2019, dissipated- September 10, 2019. I thought the bots were almost to Christmas? 2020 strikes again. Not even the bots can keep to a time table.

Please do not open the window. Pigeons come into the stairwell...
Thank you!

Not saying it wasn't actually someone but it was most likely night terrors (sleep terrors). Not to be confused with nightmares. Children can experience night terrors at that age. Sleep walking is one of the symptoms and it affects roughly %40 of children.

Indian newspaper urges its readers to wear the mask , and quintessentially provided one 1 comments

The thing that bugs me most is the use of the word quintessentially. I've come to the decision that it is being used in a correct faction, being that it is an adverb modifying the verb provide. However, it is subjectively awkward in its use. Other than that it's pretty cool of them to give out masks like that.

The best greek food I've ever eaten was in Paris. The wienerschnitzel I had in Vienna was awesome. Probably the best goulash I'll ever eat was in a B&B in Salzburg. The one thing that Italy beat all the rest in was gelato. I must have eaten that at least once per day I was in Italy and in every town I visited. Rome and Florence seemed to have the best while the worst was in Verona. Granted, I didn't care much for Verona as a whole. The best plan for meals in Europe that I found was by sticking to two rules. First never get fast food. We have plenty of that in the US and it's just more expensive there. Second always find the places the locals eat at or shop at while staying away from anyplace designed for tourists. The food is almost always better and way cheaper.

Having been to Italy twice and eaten pizza both there and in the US I would have to say it's different. The pizza's I had there tended to be baked in stone ovens and wood fired. The quality was great but the trend for less cheese when you're used to more can be disconcerting. You can get the same thing in the US but it's not as common.

I know you kinda touched on it but an important aspect for us non-scientists is the initial premise/question. Is it a study to determine what happens when x meets x or if x happens? Or, is it a study that goes x is happening, this is a verifiable fact, now why on earth is it happening? Depending on the type it does make it easier to decide whether to believe the results depending on things like sample size and what not.

While this may illustrate main stream media coverage it's my understanding that it's never going to really go away. It's apparently transmissible to animals and back. And just because you've had it once doesn't mean you can't get it again. So just like the regular flu it's going to be hanging around for a while.

Dodgeball where you had kings and queens was really fun 6 comments

I loved playing dodgeball as a kid. I wasn't the best at throwing, mainly because I was pretty small and it was difficult gripping the balls, but I was a real champ at dodging and catching. For that matter I still like playing even if after about four throws my shoulder will come out of the socket.

That's small enough the mother may still be around. While alligators are cannibals mothers are not to be fooled around with. They will attack first and never ask questions.

"I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.” - Teddy Roosevelt. He then proceeded to give almost and hour long speech. The bullet lodged in a rib and would remain there for the rest of his life.

Use a plastic bag you get from buying groceries to wrap tightly around the stalk or joint where all the bananas join. Make it as air tight as possible. This will slow the ripening of your bananas. It won't make them last forever but it will give you a few more days before you need to make that Banana Bread.

Hero or not his opening monologue was sheer genius. "This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valourous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition!"

I know this is a little off wall but New York City once did something in a similar nature. Under a previous mayor they went full bar on all crimes. If it was a crime they punished the perpetrators no matter how small the crime. By doing so they had a drop in all crime throughout the city. This is the exact opposite of what certain elected officials are doing now. They claim that they don't want people to be unjustly punished for little things thus ruining their chances in life. However it flies in the face of human psychology. By our nature we push at our boundaries. Letting people get away with little crimes just emboldens them to do more or worse crimes.

In a press conference they explained the people in question were part of a mob of people that attacked federal officers. The officers did not want to try and wade through a whole mob so they waited and followed until they could approach them without a ton of people around. Two uniformed federal officers then approached them announced who they were and proceeded to arrest them. The van was called in to move them but because of an approaching mob they wanted to get everyone out as quickly as possible to keep everyone safe. This is where the unmarked van rapidly pulled up and quickly drove off. For the record unmarked vehicles are used by every law enforcement agency and have been used for decades.
