  • I mean the Navy did ask for the mafias help monitoring the fishing routes and docks up the east coast during world war 2 to monitor for German vessels bringing fuel back to submarines and such. Believe they asked Jewish gangs for help as well to break up NAZI sympathizer groups and monitor worker unions. Hard to say what may have actually been happening though. We can say for sure they commuted a Mafia members sentence and deported him back to Italy right after the war ended.

  • Petunia was just jealous. She wrote a letter to Dumbledore asking if she could attend Hogwarts with her sister and was rejected on the basis she was a muggle. She held scorn for the magical world from that day on and hated seeing her sister do things she couldn't and her parents were excited by. So she told her husband of it's existance and called them all "freaks" for the rest of her life. In truth she probably loved her sister, but never got a chance to make ammends. After all, her sister died shortly after she got out of Hogwarts. 21 or 22

  • Was curious so I tried to find historical Oxygen levels by century (didn't find that). With the current oxygen level being around 20.9% and decreasing to effectively 17% around a mile in altitude, (say Denver) we adapt to 4% oxygen level without death. So if dinosaurs are similar in breathing to humans, I'd say with no scientific backing beyond just speculation, they should be fine.

  • I think that has a lot of variables. Crocodiles were on earth around 250 million years ago, the t rex around 68 million years ago. Crocodiles still breath our atmosphere.

    That doesn't mean other animals didn't have different breathing parameters though.

  • My parents used to get together with another couple almost every weekend and sit down and either play sequence, rummy, hand & foot or something along those lines. Easy way to sit down once a week, have a drink or two and just talk with your friends, no TVs, phones or etc were ever on.

    Wish I lived near a friend group that was able to do that. They started hanging out doing similar around 1980 and kept it up till 2017 or so. (Was the same 2 friends, they both moved 1200 miles across the country) and made sure they lived a few blocks away during that time.

  • Remember when the FL governor used Florida taxpayer money to human traffic people from Texas to Massachusetts? Or Florida Representative Matt Gaetz trafficked minors to another state for paid sexual acts. Or the U.S. President had pictures of himself at Mar-A-Lago with Epstein who was convicted of trafficking..

    Of course there is trafficking in Florida, they flooded the swamp with it.
