Only if we can claim a scary reason for it. Government mind control? Aliens?

Isn't Waze better, functionalitywise, than google maps? I dont think they are any better on ethical fronts, but still better to use the less powerful evil...

No one expects you to have a necropolis in your bat utility belt.

The byline directly under the title says they could be the oldest painted sculpture found. Of course some shameless scumbag editor turns that into a title about "earliest art".

Yeah, it puts it in better perspective to say they changed the estimate from 4.44 to 4.46 billion years ago. "Far older" my ass.

That was my immediate assumption of what they meant. A quick scan of the article suggests they didn't mean it as a negative, though. Seems pretty naive.

Porridge is the original cereal! Crush or crack any grain, ideally fresh, and cook it just like oatmeal. Hot wheat porridge is pretty good! You can buy a hand crank device, called a "flaker" to crush your grains fresh for this (one brand is Komo). Oats this way have more flavor than that stale Quaker stuff, and whole grains keep fresh for years if stored properly.

Even ones that aren't free often have a get in free day once a week or once a month.

Fwiw there is low power heat tape you can buy to run along pipes to keep then from freezing. Had this on a pipe that ran through an attic and would freeze when the outside temp got extreme, despite heating the house.

I don't know, 1963 was a pretty tough year for Christians, what with all the feeding of them to the lions in the coliseum.
