20+ minutes. Worth it. Speculative, but possibly even bigger: 19.5% of the Russian oil corporation Rosneft was sold to persons unknown through a bunch shell company. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-rosneft-privatisation-insight-idUSKBN1582OH The speculative part is the dossier mentioned by...

Part of the issue with fighting in Pakistan and Afghanistan is Pakistan doesn't think much of those are...

I think the pass is hard, so they get all the points. The steal attempt by the passer should end the round.

next guess: have a tupperware party.

Maybe just guesses until you get 3 strikes - teams will be hard as people have different posting rates, though if you can work out a way to do the thing where you steal the money, that would be cool. Maybe if your first guess is Pass, after someone gets 3 strikes, you get 24 hours and one guess to g...

You've probably eaten bugs in food because of food dye. Many carmine dyes are from cochineal bugs.
Right now, I think the ick factor keeps insect protein from getting to a large enough scale to be cheap - theoretically, it's cheaper as it takes less food to achieve a given amount of protein.

I think I'm going to start keeping my ID in my underwear when I travel. That way it's far less likely to get stolen. It might get a bit sweaty on long trips and officials might find this arrangement uncomfortable. But we all have to buckle down in these tough times.

For random comments that I (or anyone else) doesn't feel like starting a whole thread for. China made a real move against North Korea. There's been signs that China wishes NK would stop being so NK. But China has mostly let them get away with stuff. I suspect that there are different camps in China ...

So, is Phoebe's butt fluffy? Hey, she asked first.

Thanks Barb and Phoebe for real talk about real issues.

Phoebe, if you're bleeding that much - are you taking supplemental iron or have you had your iron level tested? You could be slightly anemic which would contribute to tiredness.

Eliahad prefers his jazz rough and hard.

If you ever need an ear, there are many people here who adore you and who would take the time to listen.

The practices that I find horrid are using herbicides as a drying agent on cash crops like wheat! Yea, it's also important to distinguish between GMO as a technique and the actions of Monsanto. Roundup ready crops are a tool to sell massive amounts of poison, which is a bad idea. In general, I thin...

I disagree. I haven't been doing my part as your #1 fan, I've hardly sent you any feedback at all this past year or so... I could blame it on my poor health, but I know you're not interested in excuses... I really am ashamed of my poor behaviour, and hereby renounce my title of #1 Fan... Don't be d...

Every time my calendar shows 'DM Meeting', for half a second, I'm happy that I'll be meeting with other dungeon masters. Then, I remember that it also stands for data manager.

I read the word gypped yesterday. I can't remember seeing it in print, hadn't thought of the 'y' in the word. I checked and confirmed my fear; it's derived from the word gypsy, as in something a gypsy might do to you. I don't know why I've never noticed it before. It's not a word I've really used mu...

A more recent parallel might be Berlusconi - rich, sexist, has many lawsuits, fascist tendencies, yet those things have not dented his popularity with many. Berlosconi reportedly went into politics to boost his failing businesses and used his position to move money his way. He has close ties with Pu...
