That line appeared in "To Live and Die in LA" in exactly the same circumstances two years before "Lethal Weapon". TLaDLA also had the first wrong way car chase that's now a staple of every action movie. It's funny how it was so influential in the industry but has so little lingering cultural impact.

I didn't in the end. It was mostly because I don't want undocumented interactions. I have a hard enough time getting them to use office hours.

I envy you. My partner and I are DINKs. There has never been a tax break aimed at our demographic. lol.

I want to normalize the use of statasstics for ass-pulled statistics.

Just wait. 45 year old me was cringe. And 35 year old me? How did that guy even have friends.

Yeah. There was a point when I was thinking I'd keep this account professional and share it with my students. Unlike my other social media accounts. lol

The question was about marriage. There are two reasons that I see people get married. For young people it's about starting a family. However you and I feel about it personally, legal structures that are in place just make it easier when you're married. The other reason is for older people. Pensions and estate planning is easier for married couples. Again, I have opinions about it but it remains a plain fact.

I'm in my mid-50s. The generation older than me - my aunts and uncles - generally were in school until grade 8 and were out of the house and working by 16. My mother had her older sister as her teacher.

24 is not a child. You can vote drive, drive, drink, marry sign legal documents etc. And at least for women fertility begins to decline at 32. If you mean you will continue to grow as a person and develop new interests that hopefully never goes away. I went to grad school and was in academia for over a decade after my PhD. I have made two major shifts in my career since then. Old people still feel like they are in their twenties or early thirties mentally, we joke about it all the time. So congratulations, this is it.

Good for what? This matters in significant ways. Good for real estate prices? Regina. Good for restaurant scene? Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and maybe Calgary. Good for kids? Probably somewhere in Quebec.

Other countries view it with curiosity, but gaining popularity is a strong statement. It wasn't even viewable most of the time when I was over there last.

eta: Canada plays Canadian Football. It's certainly as old as American football.

It's the networking. When there is a vacancy there will be feelers about who might be willing to move. Things only get posted when the informal processes don't produce results.

Newfoundland isn't part of the Maritimes. It's part of Atlantic Canada, but isn't a maritime province. Same way that BC is in the West but not part of the prairies.

I'm sure they weren't. But to my original point, anyone publishing one of those photos would take pains to obscure minors. If they're not certain I'd imagine they'd err on the side of caution.

I don't, but this is the law in Canada: we don't identify minors who commit or participate in crimes. Full stop. You can disagree with this, but that is the way it is.

But that's the thing right? Greta put herself out there, much like Craig Kielberger did when he was a minor, or any number of junior athletes. It's 100% different when a minor is involved in a crime even when their participation is voluntary.

It looks that way. From a pretty early stage I would guess. Like 4 or 8 cells or something?

They may be minors... or they can't guarantee they're not.

Do you get X inactivation with such clean divisions? I thought it was a stochastic process much later in development? This isn't my area so I'm relying on something like high school biology on this one.

No. The tiny little gonads will be either gray or orange. The gonads may still be a mixture, but each individual cell will be one or the other. So the gamete produced by that cell will have the same DNA of just that cell even though the organ is a mixture.

Parody has always been allowed though. I mean check out Wally Wood's work...https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/bradfordsauction/33/727133/H22021-L294574096.jpg
