Do you mean Hellen Keller? Anne Frank was the girl living in the attic during nazi occupation in World War II. Helen Keller was blind and deaf and, to my recollection, wasn't able to communicate until adulthood when a teacher came along to teacher sign language.

I would add that you can swallow air to create the need to burp.

Sounds like they plan to move local government into it, instead of renovating 33 of their buildings. The current 33 buildings could potentially be demolished (currently seismical unsafe) and rebuilt as housing though.

It was so bad that it made me realize I could be a screenwriter.

I think what happens is Zach Snyder gets together some good ideas for characters and stories (and some pretty mockup pictures), then he uses those to sell the project. Unfortunately from there, he doesn't or isn't able to flush those ideas into a compelling narrative with engaging characters. Everything stays very 1 dimensional.

I suggest a hard pass to everyone.

This report makes clear that the tripling target is ambitious but achievable – though only if governments quickly turn promises into plans of action. (emphesis mine)

Appreciate your view point.

My understanding is that the US is a net fossil fuel exporter with ~10% of exports going to China (source: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6). So that aspect of your argument should probably be reworked.

Relevant text:

Ukrainian crews say the fundamental problem is that the Abrams were built for advances aided by air power and artillery, which Ukraine lacks.

Russia, meanwhile, continues to make heavy use of drones in its attacks, which the Abrams struggle to defend against.

Just finished V Rising. I really liked it. For those who don't know and are curious, it's one of those games where, if you can't beat a boss, you just have to get better. There's some small things that make a fight easier, but it basically comes down to you understanding the enemy and learning to play better.

It's strange to me they tested mice. My understanding is that Porcine (pigs) models are usually utilized to evaluate potential GI/intestinal effects on humans. As human and Porcine GI tracts are similar (why you really need to cook pork or you can get diseases or worms from the meat).

The article mentioned cats, so the current list of know susceptible species seems to be bird, cow, mice, and cats. Not a great sign.

Same with golfing, bowling, darts, etc. I think part of the enjoyment of these types of sports/games/competitions is to see how close to perfection you can get.
