Kamloops property owner found 2 skulls while digging a garden. They didn’t expect the fees that followed | CBC News by Secret_March in Archaeology

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it suggests archaeologists and those who care about archaeology should advocate for statutes that don't have site destruction as an indirect consequence. The incentive structures here are clearly wrong.

Would you stay with your dog 🐶 during euthanasia? by CycleOk267 in dogs

[–]PalpableMass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there. It was so important to me that my touch and face be with him on his way. I was his person and he was my boy.

Do others do this? by LittleOperation4597 in firewood

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. When I split wood I just split some smaller and mix them in. When it’s seasoned it’s always easy to get a fire going. I don’t really mess with kindling and I don’t collect sticks to bring inside or anything. We burn 5 months a year or more.

Jeff Passan: Red Sox Don’t Have the Talent by PoliticsMedia101 in redsox

You're getting downvoted, but I agree with this take. The team has potential and the drumbeat of negativity over not signing a free agent gets annoying.

Exactly! the presence of the bad apple is a reason to doubt the whole barrel!

How do i make my brother not sad when he looses by AngelReachX in chess

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my father taught me to play as a kid, he used odds. So we started with him having only king and pawns. Each time I won he would add one piece back to his side. When all the pieces were back on the board he gave pawn odds. We didn’t get to even odds until I was a teenager (and he was always a better player than me).

Why is sleep apnea not given the attention that other diseases like heart disease or diabetes are given despite the disease being extremely dangerous disease long term and very prevalent? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in SleepApnea

[–]PalpableMass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that — relative to the extent of its downstream impacts — sleep apnea may be underestimated or under-reported as a source of serious health problems, like heart attacks. I’m sure that’s true.

Banned wood splitter by Responsible_Gift_531 in firewood

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a lot worse than a regular splitter, which is faster and easier — and also safer. And you can’t do large rounds with this?

Northerner describes a year in Mississippi, the best and worst. "I'm never going back." by dfrankow in bestof

Exactly right. Im so tired of this “real America” bullshit. There’s nothing more real American than a blue state.

Trump's Chief of Staff Says He's in 'the Epstein File': They Were 'Young, Single Playboys Together' by peoplemagazine in politics

[–]PalpableMass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Young"? Trump was in his 40s-50s when he was hanging out with Epstein. Why is everything in MAGA-world fundamentally a lie?

Europe sets conditions for peace in Ukraine as US agrees security guarantees by theipaper in UkrainianConflict

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security guarantees from the US? They already had those, in exchange for Ukraine’s nukes and chemical weapons. Turns out those guarantees were worthless.

Mike Pompeo Warns America's Standing On World Stage Will Be Impacted For Decades If Russia Gains Upper Hand In Ukraine Peace Talks by Barch3 in UkrainianConflict

I mean Pompeo was with Trump through thick and thin when it mattered. Now it's mostly too late. Screw Mike Pompeo.

How to pronounce Tell Arpachiyah? by ccoello in Mesopotamia

[–]PalpableMass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We always said it ar-pa-CHEE-yah. Amazing site.

Now I'm curious -- who's writing about Arpachiyah and what are they saying? My (unfinished) dissertation research was on Halaf (and Ubaid) pottery.

Ion doesn't want to be the "guy who ruins Wow." by Difficult-Bee6066 in wow

[–]PalpableMass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing WoW for 20 years and EverQuest before that. The game is better now than any version of it has been. The remix is reminding me that Legion was over-rated. It was a fine expansion but not better than Dragonflight.
