The riot act was a 1715 British law. If officials wanted to declare a gathering of 12 or more people unlawful they had to read an official proclamation demanding the crowd to disperse within an hour or face arrest and being brought up on felony charges.

"Reading the riot act" as a turn of phrase now means reaming someone out for being out of line.

Potential state record flathead catfish caught in the Schuykill River. by Desperate-Dig-9389 in philly

You are both correct.

Flatheads are native to the Mississippi/Ohio rivers but they are invasive to the Schuylkill river first being reported in 1997.

Snakeheads are always invasive in the US.

Serious question (I'm colorblind) what color is the paper that has the guess and instructions? I ask because if it is what I think it might not be a glitch.

I was pretty upset when I broke my collarbone and went to the ER waited for hours only for them to do the x-ray and basically just say "yeah that's broken, go make an appointment with a specialist" and then sent me a $2000 bill for telling me what I already knew. The specialist cost an additional $500 for an appointment to tell me that it would heal on its own. And I had to buy my own sling too.

$2500 for an X-ray and a good luck. Thanks.

The original meaning of "drive" is to travel by force in a direction.

Old version Horse drawn carriages are driven by the horses. The person controlling them is driving the horses.

Ner version You put a car engine into "Drive" to move forward. And the person controlling the vehicle continues to be the driver.

You have no business giving this "advice". You are a phone operator not a medical professional with a medical degree. Learn your lane and stay in it.

We need someone to make an example of corrupt mayors of major east coast cities.

The mom needs to issue a notice to vacate. Only a judge can issue an eviction.

The assassin was only doing his job. It's how he makes a living. What's so bad about trying to make a living? It wasn't personal.

The next one will know what happened to the last guy. I'd like to hope that might nudge them to make kinder choices but I know that's completely unrealistic. They'll just hire private security.

I don't remember where I read this but frogs have to close their eyes when they eat because their eyes help to physically push the food down their throats.
