    I figured. I doubt such water resource was merely coincidentally nearby. I wonder what they used for upper story flooring. Difficult for me to imagine them running a lumber mill. They may have been talented ornamental Silversmiths. I doubt they had much experience with steel, as in a lumber...

    That's a useful insight R5. We know it's not for the nutritional benefit of consumers. Therefore Agri-Biz has a higher priority. Tragic! It's not likely the pretty colors of fruit loops appeals to the moms that buy it. So it seems Kellogg is poisoning our children for marketing / market share...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Vulgar vocabulary does not render a logical argument more persuasive. In this case it undermines its own argument by demonstrating ink that could have been devoted to information & persuasion was instead squandered rudely. from a #3,767 link: "lawmakers"? No need to tap-dance. Dr. Fauci's...

    R5, I've been studying #482. The public roadway located between ruins in foreground and escarpment in background appears to have both a T-intersection, and a bridge. If the terrain was merely a dry ravine they might have used a causeway to traverse it. Looks like a bridge to me. That suggests...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    S2, Do you think President Trump will remain in the presidency until inauguration day 2029? I am ASTOUNDED this convicted felon has been allowed to do this much harm, despite his explicit ineligibility to hold the office. How is this even possible?!

    The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

    Could be. But the weapons supply we've depleted aren't / weren't expired. The fuster-cluckery of all this is: President Donald Trump is angry because we used a lot of ammunition. What the %$#@ did you think was gunna happen D.J. ?! Compounding that, our dismally incompetent president is...

    Fine. BUT ! We still benefit from being alert when meeting strangers, because while the probability that they'll be lethally aggressive may be low, the consequence is reciprocally high. R5, As you know, anthropologists weren't there then. So they're trying to deduce behavior from fragmentary...

    It's complicated. The human ability to recognize and distinguish faces is complex, deeply ingrained. Some scientists assert this explains why we perceive an image of J.C. on a slice of toast. Rorschach. We need to be able to identify members of our own clan and recognize those that aren't as...

    Makes sense to me. It's difficult to imagine infinite immunities. R5, I had to scrounge to find the following, and subsequently have made it a permanent part of sear's notes. Influenza only has 8 genes (humans have ~20K). Two of those 8 genes are responsible for getting the virus...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Trump's MAGA horde appears to be exceptionally deficient in discernment. Trump tells them Trump is a good president, and they believe him. In vivid contrast those that arrive at their own conclusions based on exercise of astuteness earn a higher score on cognition. That's consistent with the...

    Some may quote the holy book on the basis of it invoking the divine. Fine. "Faith" means belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. I welcome wisdom for merit of validity. No need to speculate about divinity.

    oh D.J. Alarming our president is willing to publicly admit this. - Either he's so stupid he doesn't understand the literal meaning of his words, - OR - - Trump is so confident about having damaged & disabled our judicial system, he believes he can make this public confession with impunity...
