I don't know if OOP knows it but there's actually a dinosaur called Albertosaurus, named after the province (it went extinct before the mass extinction though). Edmontosaurus though was one of the dinosaur genera to have lived until the very end of the Cretaceous, and witness the asteroid that ended it.

Exposing stuff to the internet shouldn't be that scary... I haven't had any incident so far in 8 years. Yes, you see plenty of illegitimate access attempts in the logs, but if everything is properly patched, it should be OK.

I was unhappy that Dougie decided to spend our tax dollars on ads in the US, but now I'm upset he's pulling them. Are we getting a refund for the ad slots we didn't use?

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country" -- fuck you Paramount, but OK, I have VPN.

I'll give it a shot. I just pray that other than a few characters in common, it won't have anything to do with Discovery.

K is indeed for Cretaceous (Kreide in German)
T stands for Tertiary, an old term for the Paleogene

 

I recommend watching the whole interview, it's hilarious.

 

Pretty interesting talks, especially focusing on safety.
