  • 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.

  • Actually, he's trying to stay out of prison now.

  • I use Facebook for a few nonprofit pages I run. Its main perk is events organization. I also use Instagram for my nonprofits as well -- it's easy(ish) to cross post on both platforms while still respecting the individual audiences who consume content on each.

  • If there is any evidence of the downfall of western civilization, Chip Roy is it.

  • 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!

  • You only pay a certain amount up front. Once that amount is used up, they bill hourly sending invoices once or twice a month. When he doesn't pay that, the attorney quits, and trump has to hire a new (sometimes team of) lawyer who needs time to get up to speed on the case and it can be a delaying tactic as much as lowlife-ness.

  • 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.

  • The Government will shutdown on Jan 15th if they don't pass some sort of legislation, and that's also super bad for the "governing" party.

  • Traveling around the holidays is great. The best flight I ever took was in early December. Everybody and their grandma just flew home from Thanksgiving; everybody was saving up and working to pay for Christmas. The Philly airport was deserted. Getting from the ticket counter to my gate was like 4 minutes. I had time to eat so many crab fries.

  • 🙄

  • Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.

  • There's also an exception if they can't read the delivery address; they have the authority to open the package to try to determine delivery address. So make sure your label can get a little wet and still be readable.

  • I can't speak to what happened during his upbringing, but if the man I saw as my father, who took me in as a teenager, decided to enter into politics, conservative politics no less, I'd tell him to visit for Christmas but leave me out of the politics. I'd want to go to the grocery and raise my family without being harassed by reporters and crazy random idiots, especially if he was a minor local politician in the community where I lived, but even moreso if national office were ever a possibility. The best way to achieve that would be to not let the general public even know about him, but he can still be in the family text chat and bring the grandkids by to see the rest of the family in person and in private.

    The guy just wants Internet detectives like you to leave him and his family alone. Doing a good job of that doesn't mean anything should smell off.

  • The Renaissance is not "some homogeneous past", it's a pretty specific time period: the 15th and 16th centuries.
