“…Although Simbakubwa translates to “big lion” in Swahili, this behemoth was not a big cat. Instead, it is the oldest known member in a group of extinct mammals called hyaenodonts, so named due to their dental resemblance to hyenas, even though the groups are also unrelated…”

Well. See, thats dum.

I shall call it Hyaenodonticus Rex.

I wonder if they traveled in packs. That would be like somethin out of Lord of the Rings if they did. Not somethin you’d wanna see comin over the hill.

I hope they can bring em back to life. Make mammals great again.

She’s definitely a good communicator and the green deal thingy is good.

But fwiw I’m skeptical that she will ever take on the deep-state. Ie, the CIA/Pentagon/NSA killing-machine. Bernie certainly hasn’t taken it on.

I like her though. Definitely an improvement over…um….just about all the rest of them.

For the last 18 years or so, Notre Dame has been encircled by automatic rifle carrying French security services, trying to protect the Cathedral from "terrorists," ignorant that the real threat came from cost-cutting private contractors.

Well this is what I’ve been saying for a coupla years now. This is my mantra. Its not just ‘health advice’. Its politics. Its everything. Its ‘increasingly difficult‘ to know what is accurate and what is not.

I don’t think this is fixable either. Anyone at anytime can publish anything they want on the internet. It’s not hard to dress up any piece of nonsense and make it look legitimate to untrained eyes.

And the media certainly isn’t vetting much in their eagerness to fill a 24 hour news cycle. I know a lot of questionable studies that never would have seen the light of day in the past are now being paraded in front of the public as if they represent consensus. They’ll publish anything they think will generate clicks.

I agree with that, but the problem has many facets. I just think a corporotacracy is by nature kinda ‘anti-truth’. Not always of course, but in general. Profit over truth.

I mean everytime i hear about a ‘scientific study’ now i have to ask who sponsored it, etc. How do i know which corporation influenced it, funded it, etc. And so forth. I wish there was just ‘science’ but there’s not. There’s ‘science spawned in a corporate setting’. Which is different.

The problem here is, this basically is what he said before the Super Bowl. And then…
This issue still hasn’t fully been addressed on a transparent level.
===================

I agree with this completely.

In a way it annoys me, and in a way I understand why a coach would not want to give details on an injury issue.

I dont know what this means:

“…think of mankind’s never-ending debate over artificial intelligence, Grant says. “When you put a quarterback in a position and you talk about how cerebral he is and you give him flexibility to make some changes, guess what? … You develop A.I., because it has the capacity to run without you. And then when it runs without you, it’s like, ‘Wait a minute!’ But in the same breath, if you’re not actually able to stay ahead of it, it’s going to outthink you and it’s going to say, ‘Me making the decision is the better decision.’”

“…Noteboom’s noticed former center John Sullivan’s impressive football knowledge and film study, Saffold’s weight room work ethic, and Whitworth’s leadership on and off the field in year one…”

Well i know the Rams coaches know a lot more about it than i do, but as I’ve noted b4, I am concerned about the loss of Sullivan’s ‘football knowledge.’ I cringe at the idea of having a young Center. I just do.
If they are gonna have a young Center, I’d prefer it was a great-talent.

I never get what i want.

…like in 99, I wanted Jeff Hostetler and i got stuck with that Arena Football guy…
