  • RIP Jonathan the tortoise
    J jon-nyc

    Answer is: they don’t. It’s an estate based on old photos that show him fully grown at the time they were taken. So they subtract 50 from that.

    Probably shouldn’t be reported to three digits of specificity.

    I wonder how they know it’s age.

  • The “veni, vidi, vici” speech tonight
    J jon-nyc

    As I said next door this could be the new 2020 election. Trump will say he won. Magats will believe it. Career GOP politicians will pretend to do so. The rest of the world will know otherwise.

  • Florida Megaloposis
    J jon-nyc

    One of my favorite development facts about Florida is that, in 1912 before the Key West rail bridge was finished, Key West was the largest city in the entire state, even though it was reachable only by ship. Its population? Less than 20,000.

    In other words it speaks to the total lack of development in the state as a whole back then.

    Certainly periods of no food were a big part of our evolutionary history.

    I’m pretty sure that isn’t true. Can you find some link to the actual legislation?

    Oh, but we can't. The UK and US have made laws making criticizing the state of Israel a criminal offense.

    The US? What jurisdiction?

    As for the UK it wouldn’t shock me but the anecdotes I’ve heard to date are people getting in legal trouble for criticizing Islam and gender ideology.

    You don’t enrich uranium to 60% for industrial use.

    Twelve thousand US soldiers potentially going to the area. Wonder where they'll be sent when they arrive?

    Maybe they’ll land directly on Kharg island.

    I saw some excerpts describing the damage some have taken, and many of the troops were evacuated before the war, knowing these would be targets. But they’re all (or almost all) still being used for aircraft sorties, which means they’re nowhere near obliterated. It’s not hard to disable a runway with a bomb.

  • Best burger dives
    J jon-nyc

    I've never been to any of them. A few looked quite good, other definitely not. One or two looked sad.

    I bet if they had done this 20 years ago the NY winner would have been Shake Shack, back when they were literally just a shack in Madison park. Now they're a big chain.
