Plenty of people love dangerous things. Sometimes when you play with fire you get burned. If you don't still love whatever it was that "burned" you, you probably didn't really love it. That or you're an idiot.

I have a kindle touch. The first version of touch. I enjoy reading on my kindle but there is something to be said about reading from books as well. While my digital library is a fair size but so is my actual library. I have three book shelves filled with books and I do like going to the library or book store. I find it's easier to find new books or authors when searching through actual books rather than trying to find them online. Now once I've found them if they have digital versions of their books I'm perfectly fine with buying those. Especially if I'm three books deep in a series and it's in the middle of the night and I want to keep reading.

In response to reading Tom Cotton's refusal to teach history. The U.S.A. Didnt start 5 comments

Literally the first entry when I searched on google "George Washington's Slaves" produced this mountvernon.org/george-washington/slavery/ten-facts-about-washington-slavery/ I realize it's easier to just go with the flow and perpetuate things that weren't well researched to start with but sometimes we should look things up ourselves. Did he have slaves? Yes. Did he treat them horribly? No. In fact he was rather mild in his treatment compared to his contemporaries. Was it his intention to never release his slave so he made sure his wife got his when he died? Absolutely not. The Mountvernon website doesn't try to white wash anything and will clearly show the faults of individuals. What they won't do is spread unsubstantiated rumor without actual sourcing from the time of those individuals.

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.

Since no one else did it, a translation (via google):
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.
