@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
So last night we learned that my college grad niece, the one with straight As that graduated high school early, was not aware that lions and tigers were different animals. She thought that tigers were female lions. And, and this is what prompted the discussion, she was under the impression that tigers laid eggs. The shock that she thought tigers laid eggs led her family to ask her why lions didn't lay eggs too.... and found out that that was because she thought that they were male.
This led to, of course, discovering that she "didn't understand the Lion King", was completely unaware of Tigger and Tony the Tiger characters, and figured out that she had no idea what cheetahs and leopards were.
And, of course, this implies she is wholly unaware of things like habitats of big cats.
None of that makes sense.
So many contradictions. -

In Ohio, getting breakfast at the Tru by Hilton. Then on to the road again. For those unaware, two deaths in the family on Thursday. So we are driving to NY for a funeral.
Terrible reason to be travelling.
Safe travels and all the best to your family.

I use it for as many packages as I can so that I get stuff more updated than usual.

I do this now always. I learned the hard way. In most cases, snap is more current and reliable than the built in repos.

Good morning. Getting ready to go to Costco.

listened to a podcast while driving in this morning.
they said around 65 million years ago a major event happened that ended up with 75% of all life dying out.
They also said that they discovered that small pockets of life remained in east gondawanaland and that these pockets of life are where current day birds can be traced back to.
they said that the life line of cockatoos can be traced back 65 million years.

Man - I don't recall there being a specific course in school ever covering animals like that - but wow... just WOW... Something so seemingly basic to be so completely misunderstood by a person in that position, if I ran into them, I would think they were trolling me.
