Mediterranean places will also generally be open, as their proprietors will either be Orthodox (so it will be Palm Sunday) or Islamic.

Yeah, that’s very true.

The article says “She was shot and killed by police,” and gives context for why—she was shooting at the police, the police claim.

The ARTICLE is actually pretty good. The headline is not.

No, I am not. The headline writer might have forgotten the part you’re thinking of. I’m just editing what they wrote.

Information they certainly could have chosen to include in the original headline too.

I really wish news organizations would stop with that baloney phrasing.

"Police kill woman in Pittsburgh's St. Clair neighborhood," is what actually happened.

Fair warning—the trails TO the point suck for skating, but the park itself is nice.

Lions are smaller than tigers. There’s no magic there.

You’re responding to something I didn’t say. I didn’t say anything about fruit variety propagation. Malus sylvestris crosses with M. sieversii, M. coronaria and a bunch of other species just fine, producing fecund offspring.

Whether you get a palatable apple from the cross is an unrelated question.

Not true. Sometimes the hybrids do just fine, like in the case of tilapia, or apple trees.

It can also be highly sex-dependent. For example, you can cross a domestic cattle bull with a bison cow, and the female offspring will generally be fertile, and the male offspring generally will not be.

However, those hybrid cows can reproduce with male bison, and now almost every bison herd in North America has some fraction of domestic cattle genes in it.

Yak bulls can produce fully fertile offspring of both sexes with Bison cows, but not the other way around.

That headline is a little vague.

Cats inherit a size-limiting gene from each parent, but the one from the father is ALWAYS shut down. Cats' size is limited by the gene they inherit from their mother. Female tigers have this growth-limiting gene. The issue is that the tiger growth-limiting gene does not send signals that get received in Ligers, so the gene doesn't work.

Sure!

I have a little urban orchard of six apple trees. I just got some wild Kazakh apple seeds, the ancestor of domesticated apples, that I’m cold stratifying in my fridge, and I have half of them stashed to plant in the fall if the cold stratifying fails.

Salems and Penn Mac will, between them, cover most of your spice needs.

Literally the third and fourth airlines are in the Middle East.

In college, I called this the "$10 pizza theory." (Adjust as necessary for inflation.)

You should never pay $10 for a pizza. If you're buying pizza, you either want cheap, greasy crap, or you want something really good. $10 never buys you a pie that's good enough to justify buying something that costs more than a Little Caesar's Hot-N-Ready.

We do. You got mad about fraud that doesn’t actually exist, and then when you got called on it you said “I’m just talking about fraud in general” instead of owning up to the fact that you didn’t know the law, as if that comment made any sense in the context of the conversation.

So, you just randomly walk into conversations and say “Fraud is bad, actually” without knowing anything about the context of the conversation.

Weird hobby.

Deli foods prepared for immediate consumption are SNAP eligible. Calm down.

Except it’s not fraud. You just don’t know the actual law.

You should probably educate yourself on the SNAP laws before you hurt yourself.

It’s perfectly legal if the food is cold.

Stop being a jerk.

Important caveat--EDLs are acceptable documents for ENTERING the USA. You'd have to check with the Canadian government about whether you can enter Canada on an EDL. A number of private websites say you can, but the official English-language Canadian government website lists it as an option only for Canadian citizens. Oversight? Seems likely, but not guaranteed.

There's a place in Ecuador called "Country Chicken al Horno" that makes, easily, a top 5 pizza I've ever had. The toppings weren't incredibly exotic, but the sauce had some local spice melange that was out-of-this-world.

Mayonnaise was an option though. They put mayo on EVERYTHING in Ecuador.

They’re legal tender, which is an important tax workaround. (Tl;dr for tax purposes, they are worth face value, rather than market value; this is not legal advice; consult a certified public accountant or financial attorney.)

There is absolutely no way any of these hit circulation.
