They had another interesting piece on what makes some people more altruistic than others. so in this research a Dr Marsh points to the amygdala as where altruism comes from so when exposed to scenes where other people were being hurt the brains of altruistic people lit up in the amygdala they rescued people from cars on fire they gave their kidneys etc psychotic people had no response in the amygdala and had no emotional response to scenes of violence and danger lol I think we would both light up, I feel physical pain even when I see an insect in trouble let alone a person I'm going to have to look into their online page, they are talking about the psychological cost of heroes causes burn out among other things

It's amazing that oil companies in these oil lease areas are allowed to clean oil spills in their own time and Taylor Energy's oil spills have been there for 17 years. Money makes people more stupid I see.

I love that article! and you are definitely now from New England! I believe New England has the highest percentage of writers lol! Saw something on 60 minutes today that made me super angry.....must look into this further. wow on 60 Minutes they are talking about an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that hasn't been cleaned in 17 years because the oil company is well liked and the media didn't talk about it they let the oil companies clean themselves up-- in their own time Taylor Energy, they've had nine oil leaks in 17 years and decided not to clean any of it up because they thought cleaning up the oil spills would harm the environment more haha they said it was only leaking 3 gallons of oil a day lol Louisiana.....I hope that entire state drowns and all the oil facilities go down with it would be fun to see a huge Cat 5 hurricane take down the entire dirty cartel lmao Taylor Energy tried to sue the coast guard when they tried to clean up the oil spills and said it wasn't their oil haha

In the main la nina thread they seem to think we'll have an active back end too. So maybe a snowy beginning and a snow end? Quote a few la nina's have been book end winters.

Are you thinking a two peak winter, with a the traditional active la nina beginning and an active end too? A true book end winter.

I wonder if it's colder than that in your old town on Eastern Long Island?

Must adjust for the fact that el chichen might have made that winter colder than it would've otherwise been and the fact that 82-83 was a super el nino and la ninas preceded by el ninos are different, let alone one preceded by a super el nino.

Ray, do you think it will be as cold as that winter was? Aside from February wasnt that a really cold winter?

thats another good one although 2018 had the long duration snowstorm like 1956 did. There was no match for the April 2 snowstorm though, got 6 inches in that one and the Yankees home opener was snowed out. I like getting one of those per decade lol

Glad I'm not the only one. Luckily for me I usually only see one a year. Last night was particularly horrible, after seeing the centipede earlier, I saw that mouse later on in the night. Lesson learned, all lights are staying ON!

This is awesome weather, so much sun during the day and lots of stars to see at night.

uhm what kind of moron are you? most consumers refuse to eat factory farmed crap....get the **** out of here with that-- and it's created pressure for most manufacturers to move away from that. You have NO idea the kind of chemicals they put in that crap, do you? Now go back to your hole in the ground mister 16 posts (or is that 16 IQ) you dont know shit about this topic. Another moron from Michigan.

He never should have gotten that job in the first place-- lots of conflicts of interest there.

Wilsack is an effing racist and takes large bribes from industry, so it's not surprising he would say something as ignorant as this

what are shower spiders?

so frost was confirmed (dew point 32 or lower?)

I see the same white stripe down the middle that the one I killed had.

omg yes! nightmares are coming back lol it looks much smaller after it died though I was up most of the night because after I hit it with a bar of soap I saw it fell but had no idea where and when i woke up this morning I saw it was dead. Thats happened before.....they must be easy to kill but if they fall in a place you can't see it makes you think they got away.

Are centipedes dangerous at all? I saw a 4 inch long one with a white stripe down its middle in my bathroom last night and freaked out (I guess the cold weather brought it in?) I killed it but I didn't know it was dead until this morning. Also saw a mouse streak across my floor.....just great.....now the glue traps have to come back out.

Probably not enough for snow though

Yeah it wasn't even our coldest night. Do you have a low for JFK? I've been looking for that. I recorded 35 with a dew point of 32 and yet there was no frost.

Haha you reminded me of a classic movie.....Soylent Green

Besides lab grown, I wonder what name we can use? Insta-meat? lol, sounds marketable? Love how this sloth shows sentience

well we have to fix the science denier problem before we can really progress anywhere....without a general belief in science, society is going to be stuck in a rut like it is. I agree with the stipulations in the Three Laws you set forth, and I would also add for the benefit of human health (and animal welfare) we should be vigilant of the types of chemicals used on these animals (like antibiotics, growth hormones, etc.). Also having read that we can lower emissions from animals by feeding them lemongrass and without chopping down trees in order to have land for them makes me think the whole process can be made much more sustainable.

Thats actually the only time I've lost power in a snowstorm. Fortunately it was only gone for a couple of hours but that was one wild month!
