There was a last major migration out of Africa starting around 70–50,000 years ago that coincides with both the disappearance of Neanderthals and Denisovans, and with the appearance of representational art. Earlier Neanderthals made artistic crafts like shell jewelry, but it wasn’t representational.
Prehistoric people leaving things in caves is practically the only way we still know about them, but that doesn’t mean humans normally hung out in caves as a permanent lifestyle. We have evidence of people making wooden structures in Africa long before the first cave paintings—and compared to structures, caves would have been cold and dark, unlikely to be conveniently located, and contested for by cave-adapted animals.
It’s because the caves were so shitty that subsequent people left them untouched for tens of thousands of years.
Legally, yes. (But of course, the Supreme Court has turned interpreting the Constitution into a game of Calvinball.)
The elementary school I went to was next door to a crematorium. I have breathed in multitudes.
You could set it to use your own DNS server, and have the server block anything not on a whitelist.
In the context of a semi-nomadic culture that had just conquered the urban Canaanites, pigs were city animals distinct from the nomadic sheep and goats—a ban on pork would prevent cultural assimilation. Same with the ban on shellfish that would have been standard in the coastal cities.
For a parallel, look at segregation-era white Americans banning music and other cultural pratices associated with African-Americans.
I’m not defending the party establishment—I think they’ve been a malignant force on both policy and campaign strategy since at least the Clinton era—but I think this year’s failings are more on Biden and Harris as individuals. (Biden wasn’t doing the party any favors by hanging on as long as he did, and the Harris’s campaign’s weaknesses were consistent with her whole career since first running for local office.)
So… a business card?
The Harappan language—then you could decipher the script of the Indus Valley civilization.
Logically, yeah—it went from “all X are Y” to “no non-X are Y” (or equivalently, “all Y are X”).
When he won before, he was outside the Republican party establishment and just put his own unprepared cronies in charge.
The question at hand is who will be the next president, not who will win your imaginary argument.
while Baz insists he has nothing against crows, it’s the mess they leave behind that has people crying foul.

That’s what I’m secretly training the crows for.
I doubt the falconer would have any issue with me—I’m helping to keep them employed.
I’m indifferent to squirrels… but my city has hired a falconer to scare the crows away with hawks, so now the crows symbolize the oppressed masses being persecuted by the state.
A crow-calling whistle and a small tin of peanuts.
