That’s what I was thinking, either casing the place (but it is a secure apartment building) or will pressure for cash. I’m big and ugly enough to feel secure with a stranger, but you’re right, I’ll give the UK number a ring when they open this evening.

Denisovans, Xiahe and Penghu are the only three in that lot that have any genetic link between them, with the tooth from Vietnam being “morphologically similar” to the Denisovans tooth fragment and the two skull caps being guesses based on their robusticity. More testing is needed to group these all together in to a new species, especially so with H. longii, but the researchers with access to the dragon man specimen so far are refusing.

The Cayman GT4 in GT7 is just sublime. Pointy, but with great mid-corner stability.

Oglaf: The Spoom - Very NSFW

I used Khan Academy when I reentered uni as a mature-age student and found it very helpful

I’m not a fan of ATHF and The Mouse and the Mask is still in my top 5 of all time. Production and lyricism are on another level.

Oh man, speaking of Kweli, his Black Star album with Mos Def needs a mention

He’s also Ice Cube’s cousin

Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations

Hip Hop: DJ Shadow- Endtroducing… Blues: RL Burnside- A Ass Pocket of Whiskey Psychedelic Rock: The Cambodian Space Project- Whisky Cambodia Dance/Electro: The Presets- Apocalypso

No relation

Huge vote of confidence for Doohan there, jeez.

“Ticketing giants Ticketmaster and Ticketek have defended the practice, saying prices were set by artists and their teams, and that demand-driven pricing mitigates the problem of ticket scalping.”

People were fed up with scalpers overcharging for tickets, so we decided to overcharge in their place. Problem solved, you’re welcome!

When I say “herbal” you say “no, thanks”

He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

My father-in-law is from Burkina, and his family, including my brother-in-law, still live there. The rejection of ECOWAS and the alliance with Mali and Niger is popular, owing mostly to what I’d describe as a general anti colonialist and, particularly, anti French sentiment, which I suppose is understandable.

The article talks about how the countries have rejected French military aid, but the overwhelming opinion I hear from any of the expats I talk with is that the French were only there to protect their mineral interests and provided minimal aid outside of that.

Ultimately, the combined military power of all three nations is not enough to fend off the insurgency. They are further hampered by inter-ethnic conflict, and I very much doubt that Russia will be able to provide any meaningful support, especially for free. This all leads to intense civilian suffering which, in my opinion, requires UN intervention. Unfortunately unless the military junta suddenly reverses its opinion on western influence, this is unlikely to happen.

There’s a centre of mass joke in here somewhere

And only with consent

Honestly, it sounded like my Nan when she’s got her teeth out

It is, but the great barrier Reef is within the tropics and so undergoes more of a wet/dry season instead of summer/autumn/winter/spring.
