Reply to How much a person laughs in conversation appears to be a stable trait associated with being relatable, and is not necessarily reflective of enjoyment. by [deleted]
I remember laughing some at my last job interview. I got the job. Although I no longer work there because in the heat of the moment I yelled (used my command voice more exactly) at a co worker. I admit it I am an old nerd and still learning about the rules for social communication.

Reply to Climate Impacts Are Increasing; Textbooks Aren’t Keeping Pace: "biology textbooks are failing to share adequate information about climate change" by Additional-Two-7312
Texas school boards are notoriously conservative and they are also beholding to petrochemical companies. Texas is a big market for school books .They do not want updated text books because of the doom and gloom they will expose.

The legend of the "golden" fleece implies that fleece was used to attract gold dust from streams in the regions. Something to do with lanolin or static electricity perhaps.
I am no expert on art, just an architect with an interest in archeology, but doubt the finds of Heinrich Schliemann gold, as it happened at too convenient of a time for him to make news, looks to me a bit modern, and not all that finely worked.

That is furniture! Plywood top and bottom. Just needs some folding table legs and a big suitcase handle!
