I live in an area where there are plentiful eagles and I never heard of anyone eating one. I kayak around some islands in a nearby river where eagles nest and frequently encounter …

I've shot tons of film over a great many years and I have a sizeable collection of cheap and expensive 35mm and 120mm film cameras covering the period from the late 1800's to the 1…

Maybe find a way to inspire in the rich the kind of philanthropy practiced by Andrew Carnegie. He wrote his views in, The Gospel of Wealth - not having read it, but having long hea…

Indeed, as are concentrated forms of human habitation, and, your point is?

Once you let your kid name an animal, it is a pet. I have a bit of experience with this since we have been running a chicken retirement community for the past four or five years as…

I still have great memories laying on the living room floor reading volume after volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica during family TV evenings. The set came with a language dicti…

Bye bye Fi.

You might like to explain how population life-expectancy figures correlate with covid fatality rates in a meaningful way.

I searched for two podcasts; one failed with an error ('Error: could not handle the request) [No Agenda]. I tested another one, [eggchasers], and that worked reasonably well. My ma…

There are some issues, as have been pointed out, but one very real incentive to figuring those things out is the opportunity to reduce the number of problematic interactions with t…

It does. The names of both concerns are (maybe were - been a few years since I passed by) on the sign in front of the building. I always wondered about the place, but looking it up…

Probably a reference only the British would get. Look up 'hedge porn'.

I met a guy who owned the Peekskill meteorite and the car which it hit it. He was/is a well known meteorite and Eurypterid dealer.

My wife had contact with a raccoon which tangled with our dog in the middle of the day about a decade ago. Since confirmation from the state lab takes weeks, she was off to the hos…

If you live 1-2 years, as cuttlefish do, is it really that amazing that their memory does not fade between birth and death?

America solved a large part of air and water pollution issues as a side-effect of policies which shifted production largely off-shore. That solution won't work for the remainder. T…

When I'm in DC for a conference at the convention center, part of my breakfast routine is a walk to the Sculpture Garden at the Hirshhorn with a take-out breakfast. I always make a…

This is from the FDA website. "Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), when the Secretary of HHS declares that an emergency use authorization is a…

Interesting since this coincides with a different issue I am facing. I had an employee move to California (we are a single-site business on the east coast) and everything was fine …

Sounds like Disney. Disney World (? - the one in Florida, USA) had a gift shop at the exit to every ride last time I was there. The bean counters probably consider it a great addit…

Who keeps a bottle of wine around long enough to bother worrying about oxidation? If I was opening a very expensive bottle, I would invite people over to share it. Most wine I buy …

The average age of operating automobiles in use within the US is closer to 12 years. The registration fee (annual renewal, not initial registration) in the US is based on vehicle v…

I spent half a day with Bruce Gordon and bought one of his bikes a decade or so ago. He's gone now, but he was an interesting character in his own right - seems the bike world is f…

There are only so many prime cuts, such as steaks, in a steer. Ground beef and sausages are what you make with the rest of that animal.
