telling colleagues that he was “very glad [he] wrote the note” and that Epstein "…was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex[ual] male), and if I hadn’t said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)

His response to the backlash is insane.

The white chickens are usually for meat, like a cornish cross, and they are typically caged. The one in the video looks to be free range and definitely not a cornish cross.

No they can actually fly, it’s just most birds are encouraged not to by their enclosure. So they simply don’t have the muscles to get much air. If you were to take the time to build up those muscles they would be able to fly.

No, they can actually fly. Chickens bred and kept for meat have trouble flying, but that is because they are too heavy for that very reason. Or they were kept in an enclosure that they could not exercise their wings. They don’t have the muscles to get off the ground. Parrots kept in a too small cage without being let out have the same problem. They could fly if they were allowed to build up those muscles.

No, many birds don’t migrate but can still fly.

They are ground birds so they spend most of their time on the ground, similar to turkeys and grouse. Domesticated chickens fly a bit less because of breeding for more meat. However, to say they can’t fly is just not true. A better choice would have been; a kiwi, steamer ducks, cassowary, kakapo, weka, takahe, or an emu.

Chickens can fly.

Ok, I’m just going to add this here for everyone. Free range + not being a fast growing freak of nature breed = birds that perfer the ground but can absolutely fly. Chickens flying

Yeah if they do I’m dead. Brain surgery in addition to all the concussions I’ve had, oh and had a stroke during birth. If I survived, not much would be going on in my head

Hold over from Stalin and Mao era, the commies was the big bad. Like after 9/11 it was the Muslims

We cook together, everyone has a dish or two to make. Then we go cut down a Christmas tree that weekend and decorate.

Solitary animals yawn too. Don’t if they can catch yawns, or how to test it.

God, I had to stop reading, what the actual fuck

Agreed that the reason people are hungry needs to be addressed. However, it’s far better than nothing faith based or otherwise.

I won’t get started on a bank vs. a pantry, but they are different. What a pantry offers and when they are open varies drastically between pantries. Out of date food does not necessarily mean that it isn’t safe to eat. The FDA has a table of food types and when to throw it away. Canned and dried foods are typically good well past the expiration date.

I work at a food pantry, we are open one day a week. Pre Trump the average was 25 families, our typical now is 36. Yesterday there were 55 famlies, 150 people total. I don’t know what we are going to do next week if the snap benefits lapse. We can’t handle that many people regularly.

It always starts that way. But good God any treatment for a disease the was a guaranteed death sentence is absolutely amazing.

Yep! How much stomach acid, how fast an individuals GI system processes food, lots of variables. Diseases that affect the GI are kinda weird IMHO. :]

Yes! :)

It would be due to multiple variables. There needs to a certain amount of bacteria in the small intestine. Some of the variables would be, the amount of bacteria initially ingested, number of bacteria that make it past the stomach, immune system of the host, time for the bacteria in the intestine to reach a concentration to cause symptoms.

There are multiple different types of salmonella infections. They typical serotype in Africa is invasive, meaning it’s in the blood and people can become septic. This one appears to be non-invasive, it is similar to food poisoning.

The main issue with any computer is that they can’t adapt to new situations. We can infer and work through new problems. The more variables the more “new” problems. The problem with biology is there isn’t really any hard set rules, there are almost always exceptions. The amount of functional memory and computing power is ridiculous for a computer. Driving works mostly because there are straightforward rules.
