    https://www.popsci.com/environment/burmese-python-mouth-size/ Bartoszek and colleagues recently got hands on to measure a trio of captured snakes measuring 15-, 17-, and 19-feet-long. Although previously examined pythons have been documented with mouth gape diameters as wide as 8.7 in, the largest of the study’s pythons could extend their gape to 10.2-in-wide.

    @taiwan_girl said in Everything is Awesome: @kluurs said in Everything is Awesome: And about to get much worse thanks to AI and robotic Not just a question for Kluurs, but how much difference with either a Trump or Harris president make? Inflation is low right now. There is not going to be deflation, no matter who is president. Lets say it stays at 2%. Unemployment is low. Now, people can argue about if the numbers are correct - if it is undercount, etc. Things are going to happen in the world that the US cannot control. They could make things for the US economy better or worse. The economy cycles. Economy goes up, eventually goes down. Best case is a "divided" government for the economy, Yes, divided government always works. Neither yin nor yang. No George Washington. No Abraham Lincoln. No FDR. What a wonderful world it would be!

    It's easy to say that now - but we'll never know what was truly in your heart when you wrote that. Personally, I give you the benefit of the doubt. But I simply cannot control the hearts and minds of our millions of readers.

    @89th said in If Trump is elected...: @Jolly said in If Trump is elected...: Are there any lessons the Dems should learn from it? Yeah, that women candidates lose to Trump! Yeah, he's beaten almost as many women as Doug Emhoff.

    Interesting analysis. The same sort of thing kind of goes on with patents. I met a guy who had hundreds of patents, but in looking closer, he was head of a research group, and if anyone in his group applied for a patent, he stuck his name on it also.

    If your travel schedule makes maintaining the system unrealistic, then you'd do just as well to leave it unplugged altogether. A/C does help some in the summer...but there are often stretches where the humidity is high..but the temps aren't. Humidispray systems (that are only on when the furnace is on) are certainly much better than nothing. But in the northeast, the temperature frequently gets far below what would be a safe level of humidity to add indoors. So the system still helps quite a bit in those cases.

    Political answer to a political problem. Trudeau Liberals are desperate to gain some popular support. It’s futile. They will not form the next government.

    Good moments, needs work. The dialogue was cringey at times, which surprised me because it was written by the same woman who wrote Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Choreography was godawful. Most of the. Cast played young teens who seemed more out of a bad American sitcom than the Jewish ghettos in Poland. Worth seeing, especially at that theater, but needs a lot of retooling and maybe recasting before it hits Broadway.

    I am not sure I understand. Does this change their status? Are they still illegal?

    @Jolly said in Pennsylvania Nightmare?: Or maybe we need to muck things up so bad, we have more time to change the totals to a more "appropriate" number. Are you saying that you think President Trump supporters are going to cheat? 555
