You actually made me lol in this airport thank you

Wow that’s a smug mug shot, holy moly.

That’s someone who does NOT think they just got caught saying the quiet part.

Luckily it is not too hard to make my friend! Whip yourself up a batch tonight.

The fact that he was repeatedly moving them away from each other while checking that they were still asleep, plus finally returned drunk??

“They were staying up too late and I wanted to go to bed” my ASS

What if I am too stupid to understand? Can you explain it to my dumb ass?

In the spirit of anarchy chess, I MAY need to find out. For science.

I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn’t involve VBA.

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

Rand Paul’s neighbor punched him in the face and apparently that was okay, too.

Unfortunately, not quite…

Rene Boucher, 58, was charged on Friday with assaulting a member of Congress, a felony, months after his sneak attack on Sen. Rand Paul in November, according to officials.

“Assaulting a member of Congress is an offense we take very seriously,” said Josh Minkler, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Those who choose to commit such an act will be held accountable.”

Officials said Boucher signed a plea agreement, but no date or sentencing has been set. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.

In another life, I attended a large geology conference and went to a session with talks about this. They had two speakers back to back, one boiled down to “it was the asteroid” and the other “it wasn’t the asteroid”.

Not only did the speakers get heated in each other’s question sections, the whole ROOM felt like it was about to get into a fistfight - everyone basically taking over each other to the person to their left, right, front, back. Extremely hostile!

I can’t remember the evidence but I do distinctly remember thinking that it wasn’t my subject matter and I should probably avoid forming an opinion on it for my physical safety in my career.

Now I’m free to offend paleontologists both professionally and unprofessionally and I can’t remember how to :'(

Sent a relatively new and somewhat nervous co-worker a “grandpasimpsonleave.gif” responding to the 8 billionth mutual emergency of the day followed immediately by “I kid, I kid, we’ll fix it! 😉 [Relevant follow up question]?”

Guess which of those two messages was the last one unaffected by the outage? Yep. I got to watch her devolve into a panic as her messages reached me and my responses didn’t get sent to her, and THEN delivered in the worst order/selection possible. Felt like the more critical the message, the less likely to send.

And! She’s on the other side of the continent and all her location’s phones are through teams also! And it was time sensitive.

Rough Friday.

I moved to Edmonton, AB from the US South and holy crap, the darkness is unreal. Even the locals struggle with this pitch-black 4pm nonsense.

That said, the city has a lot of focus on indoor spaces that really saves it. I used to go to West Ed mall just to walk around somewhere without a coat for free, you know?

The real gem of the city is the Muttart Conservatory though - and a year-long pass is like $30?? For an indoor rainforest??

Makes it worth living in the winter.

Yeah those fines were a joke. $140k over two years for a place that likely charges that much per year for each of its 170 residents? They don’t care.

It may not be CSI quality, but it is FBI quality! Those EXACT tests and types of matches were how they identified the golden state killer and identify hundreds of John/Jane Does every year these days.

Turi King, who worked on the Richard III identification, has done very great and approachable lectures on those tests and how they’re used in forensic genetics. Highly recommended watch BTW, and several are available on YouTube - she has one on just those tests and how they can be used as well as discussing their strengths and weaknesses with examples.

The “I’m 3.2% Native American” stuff is (mostly) BS, but if it’s identifying specific matches, it’s pretty strong evidence. It’s not definitively HIM until they test him specifically, but it is the exact sort of thing that should put you on a suspect list and warrant him spitting in a cup, yeah.

The only way I could see it NOT being him is if he was using a close relative as the source, but I’m not sure why he wouldn’t say that once challenged. Technically, that would have fulfilled the requirements of “anonymous” and “unknown to the mother” he promised.
