A little bit of reading suggests the arctic during the winter would’ve gotten down to around -10C so definitely cold enough to require adaptation, but also warm enough to be fully survivable.
Most of these finds evidencing year-round arctic-dwelling dinosaurs is being found in modern day Alaska and Alberta, but there’s also similar finds from the other side of the world too!
For anyone unaware there’s an incredible growing body of research into Arctic-dwelling dinosaurs. They’re cool as hell and it’s extra cool knowing so much of this was discovered within my own lifetime
Trump doesn’t care about being implicated in corruption, he’s already established even in the legal sense to be a criminal and a rapist. Being implicated for more rape isn’t going to make any noticable change. But what does a strong man really fear? Being perceived as weak. Being perceived as less of a man than any other. There is something he’s burying that is going to make him look really bad to his base, that a sane person with morals wouldn’t realize is that notable but will be completely devastating for a strongman wannabe dictator. I’m so curious what that is mostly for the human psychology aspect of what actually does scare trump and keep him up at night?
The funniest part is I’m not the one who watches it, my wife is. Most of it is just background noise to me, but she’ll poke me to pay attention when they get something really rediculous setup (like the staged assassination plot. Listening to Chatterbox and Vivek planning it was honestly funnier than the staged assassination attempt itself!)
But yeah honestly I find the pacing of live streams to be too slow for me, I just can’t pay attention for that long without anything meaningful happening, then suddenly I’ve missed something massive in the 1-2 hour long conversation I tuned out. But having my wife who finds it’s perfect second screen content for her ADHD to poke me when I need to pay attention or summarize some of the long meandering conversations between characters (seriously I can never tell when it’s an important conversation or not!) it’s almost like I’m a viewer
It’s so funny seeing Ramaswami step back into the public eye after giving Squeex basically half a decade to write a public image for him amongst his audience with his parody character Ramasquamy
Like, I seriously can’t think of Ramaswamy as an actual politician that people take seriously after several years of watching Ramasquamy prance around announcing “Day One!” whilst holding up double peace signs, stage a “peaceful protest” at the city hall on Jan 6th after he lost the mayoral reelection, or setting up a fake assassination plot to have his ear get shot during the mayoral debates last month, pretending to be the incumbent mayor because of being referenced as mayor in the trailer despite there being nobody actually filling the mayoral role, etc.
Some number of years ago I worked in support for a mobile phone manufacturer. I spoke with one person who found themselves on the certificate section of Android and had disabled every non-american certificate then was shocked when their device basically stopped working…
There’s surprisingly not that much on the net that I’m finding. I learned about it from a traveling exhibit that came to a localish museum to me, but it’s all extremely recent (in comparison to most paleontological discoveries) mostly really becoming an overwhelming body of evidence in the last 30 years or so, but the earliest discoveries date to the 70s and 80s.
Looks like PBS Nova did a documentary called “Arctic Dinosaurs” and I linked a BBC article in another comment that gives a good overview as well.
