OP put off saying anything about for 5 years, and now feels that 2-mo post-birth is now the perfect time to have this discussion?

Hopefully this isn't the case, there isn't enough information here to say one way or another, but it certainly gives the appearance of attempting to trap the partner in the relationship with the child. It's a common tactic of abusers.

Gary Paulson's book's are good for that age range. Most of his work is more serious in tone and survivalist (stuck in nature survivalist not doomsday bunker survivalist). Harris and Me is more biographical comedy.

O. Henry was my favorite author at that age, and still something that I revisit. It is written in an older dialect which can be a put off for some people.

That's a good age for mythology. Greek mythology is the easiest to find kid appropriate translations of but Norse mythology is full of daring rogue stories.

The Dangerous Book for Boys is a fun reference book.

You may be thinking of charcoal. Coal is a mineral that is mined and is a fossil fuel.

Yes, my grandparents had a potbelly stove that they used for heat. A coal tripple was about a quarter of a mile from our house and we could walk down the railroad tracks and collect a bucket full.

From what I can find Apple and Google bowed to political pressure and removed all apps designed to do this. Unfortunately I can't find a working alternative right now. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

I couldn't decide what I wanted and wondered if Kbin would let me change it later.

Tech company that owned and operated experimental high tech death machine say their regulatory reports were wrong because they are bad at ubiquitous 40 year old tech.

The no preservatives label needs better regulation. Every food that has it is loaded with either salt or sugar. The reason that they are loaded with salt and/or sugar is because salt and sugar are two of the oldest and most used preservatives. And that's my soapbox, thanks for listening.

I was so disappointed the first time I went to Trader Joe's. It had been so hyped up and people made it sound like a mini Jungle Jim's. Then it opened and it was just a more expensive Aldi.

Edited to remove a mistyped word.

 

I was watching a television show yesterday and the premise of the episode was that a terrorist group had broken into an old abandoned USPHS lab and stole samples of the original strain to use as a biological weapon. It got me thinking, is that particular version of the flu virus still particularly dangerous? I know H1N1 strains are still dangerous and have been responsible for a few more pandemics since the Spanish flu but it seems that we should have some resistance to the strain that caused that pandemic. My reasoning is that it never went away. We didn't beat the Spanish flu with vaccines and health measures rather it just killed pretty much everyone it could and we eventually developed a level of resistance to it that made its threat more in line with the seasonal flu. If my reasoning is correct then the terrorists releasing the virus in the subway shouldn't be any more dangerous that someone with the flu taking the subway to work which is a common occurrence during flu season.

So, how does it actually work? Did we develop a resistance like I think or would a release of the original strain start a new pandemic?

The movies don't all have to be connected by a single overreaching narrative, give us some standalones. Give us a feel good Justice Society movie and a utopian sci-fi Legion of Superheroes. It would also be nice to move away from the core Justice League team and world or universe level threats. Let Nightwing stop the Zodiac Master's plan to rob a series of banks.
