It's this. He testified today, and earlier against Cohen, in exchange for immunity for crimes that he willfully and knowingly committed.

The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament is the book where Jesus says, "f those first five books. Turn the other cheek."

Like I said, it's about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.

If you really cared to see the best, you'd know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.

The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.

There's also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It's really about viewership.

Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.

It has been understood by some for a long time, but not all. Especially when morbid curiosity is what brings visitors to your museum; without that morbid curiosity, you likely can't make enough to stay open.

NAGPRA was renegotiated by a Native American Secretary of the Interior and, wouldn't you know, having diverse voices helps people understand things differently, thus the massive change this year in the way museums display human remains. That's a good thing. Be mad about the past so it doesn't happen again, but also be glad that the display stops now.

As for using a cast, I'm sure they have one. But I don't know if using one affects how medical research is conducted.

Oh yeah ETA: until the advent of the Internet, doctors coming to a place to examine collections of medical specimens was indeed the only way to do certain kinds of medical research.

There is likely medical knowledge to gain from seeing and understanding Gage's injury that can help other people with headwounds. Not from the binding of a book.

The museum is permanently closed and its collections are only available to researchers by appointment only.

Aha! The only solution to this endless waste of bureaucracy is privatization!

My mom deserves to be yelled at but she's incapable of introspection, so it's just a waste of breath. 75% of the time, husband does not deserve it. :/

Otherwise let's just say I'm texting this during my vape in the bathroom break! Slay it, queen!

Donating to just about any charity is a noble cause! I'd also suggest establishing scholarships with educational organizations you like and, depending on the size of your estate, consider endowments that ensure continued support to those organizations.

Similar to Ted Kaczynski.
