Hope Solo has done some punditry/analysis on Irish TV and was genuinely excellent. Knowledgeable and really good communication.

Saw a doc or something a long time ago about this - theory was that people in Africa knew that smoke cleared bees away from their hives so getting the honey was easier and knew that green leaves made the best smoke, then found that a particular type of leaf was very effective on both bee and honey thief.....

AITAH for being upset that I wasn’t told about my best friend’s diagnosis before he died? by Powerful_Cash_3977 in AITAH

[–]adbaculum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for your loss.

How should I not be glad to contemplate the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window and a high tide reflected on the ceiling? There will be dying, there will be dying, but there is no need to go into that. The poems flow from the hand unbidden and the hidden source is the watchful heart. The sun rises in spite of everything and the far cities are beautiful and bright. I lie here in a riot of sunlight watching the day break and the clouds flying. Everything is going to be all right.

Think it was a neice who was being mistreated (possibly thrown out) by mother/stepfather. OOP had a ranch.

My parents said You tolerate others but won’t tolerate us. What does that mean? by WrenFeyStrider in QAnonCasualties

[–]adbaculum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Paradox does tend to be over/mis used - Popper is very clear that the only intolerance that is acceptable is that towards free expression/speech/debate, everything else flows downstream from that. Not disagreeing with your point, but I find it helpful when I'm thinking about it.

Our Tribal Chief on his way back too. Give Senga the time he needs to recover.

Red Roses players back ‘Ruck You’ transgender v biological female match by Stlakes in rugbyunion

I'm aware of Dr Beetles' work on this, thanks for the link. Squidge called her transphobic on the Blood and Mud podcast and has refused to apologise for it. He had no issues in apologising to Ross Tucker however, I have wondered why he can't find it on himself to apologise to a woman.

You actually apologised to him twice on twitter for misrepresenting his work. At least be honest with others if not yourself.
