Wasn't it the Beatles sueing Apple and not the other way around?

There's been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there's a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).

At least they were used incorrectly to be just as unpredictable.

I grew up on the lower end of middle class. Govnment cheese grilled cheese sammies is definitely something I loved eating as a kid. This forced us to be industrious. My parents gardening, did their own DIY home improvements, woodworking, hunting, and more. They weren't survivalists because of some doomsday shit, but lived this way because we couldn't afford not to if we wanted to live in a house in a big city suburb in the late 80s & 90s. Over time, my mother took on work utilizing the skills she gained doing the stuff for ourselves and we slowly climbed out of the near poverty life and I was able to have nice things in my teens.

I'm now doing well for myself, solidly middle class in this economy and region. But as things are shifting like crazy around us, I just decided to turn my yard into a garden so I can at least feed myself fresh food if shit becomes unavailable or unsafe to eat. If I have to start hunting again, I will.

I'm not panicking, I'm just going to control what I can, and will do my best to have a good life, and will fight for everybody else to have a chance at a good life too.

Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

For example I've seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I've also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I've lived in that were far more than art.

Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

I snorted my coffee reading this.

A secret service officer, trying to explain the general confusion, just sighed. “Nobody knows what’s going on.”

As a former permastuff allergy sufferer, I can't recommend enough trying out triamcinolone (nasacort). I had tried nasal sprays in the 90s and early 2000s without any luck. About 5 or so years ago, my allergist recommend I give it a try again as a lot of formulas have come around since then and could work for me now. I couldn't believe it, no more permastuffed and there's smells everywhere. Learned that I love the smell of star jasmine flowers.

For me, a puff in each nostril in the morning and another puff as needed when blowing my nose doesn't suffice (which is rare) has turned this perma-stuffed allergy sufferer into a not-perma-stuffed person.

Nah, just your typical PhD paleontologist dinosaur nerd. The times they showed that side of Ross was probabaly some of the most realistic moments in the show.

Note: It's Ukraine, not "the Ukraine".

Calling it "the Ukraine" is Russian propaganda.

I hate myself for this.

 

It's your sworn duty.

 

Weirdos from the top to the bottom.

 

Former President Donald Trump has drawn the ire of another musical group for unauthorized use of their music. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

Trump played the band's song "My Hero" when he welcomed former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a rally in Arizona on Friday[...]

[...]The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

 

Trump owes millions from two civil court cases, but his investment portfolio offers a staggering portrait of wealth.

Donald Trump has submitted his annual financial disclosure, and after a year of lawsuits, legal cases, and grifts, the contents of the documents reflect the turmoil surrounding the former president...
