My parents, both born in early 1930s, told us stories about witnessing WWII through newspapers and radio broadcasts and neighbors who went into combat. The British Royal Air Force were considered superheroes

Anbaric eels
What were electric eels called before electricity was discovered?

that's gonna take a lot of hamsters
Cruella de Ville is a piker compared to this.
When I was little I checked out a "hamster care" book from the library on repeat, and the first 2/3rds of it was normal pet stuff, but the last chunk was how to raise hamsters for the fur market (it was probably from the 70/80s)

Hi Grace, had a savannah years ago. she was indeed very mean! so yes. But I can't really have a big lizard now cause of the big furry beast that roams the house!
While people insist that bigger is better, a nice 12” monitor is best for first timers. Maybe the ackie variety and avoid the savannahs.

I keep asking for a 35in monitor for christmas. maybe this is the year?

My quote of the day

Through this additional support, we must renew our commitment to provide talented young people with the opportunity to build scientific careers based on their curiosity, the same opportunity that was provided to me when I began my work.

Haven’t seen a zillion people make this point yet but Reiner was just scandalously snubbed by the Oscars. Almost every one of the classics he made was more enduring than whatever beat it.
