I think Tom also worked at a fudge packing plant.
Do not forget twenty years of military service.
If only there was a way to remotely monitor and cite speeders
Phrased another way, Waltz worked, while Pitt and Cruise had work done.
All true. It could be a positive step but very small change by itself. Police are one part of criminal justice system that need massive reform.
In California the duration of yellow is determined by a formula incorporating the roads speed limit. If yellow light duration is less than the formula would set, the traffic ticket is dismissed. I'm guessing most states have a similar law.
Going the posted speed limit is not going slow.
Speed is a leading factor in collisions resulting in serious injuries and death.
Grissom, White, and Chaffee would probably disagree with that.
Red Green salted the Iced path, at least he's handy.
If speed cameras are less biased than humans when issuing tickets, I see them as a fairer method of speed enforcement. Also safer for BIPOC individuals to receive a ticket in the mail, as opposed to a roadside traffic stop.
POSTING TO THE PACK COUNTS AS GROUP THERAPY. YOU COMPLETED ANOTHER ONE BROTHER! YOUR ROUTINE IS CRANKING ITS HOG! AROOOOO
I believe you've veered into possible but far from practical territory.
In breeding plumage, love the tassels.
David Pecker testified that The Terminator actor asked him not to publish negative stories about him while he was running for governor of California
Although this came to light in the past, it was again reveled during Trump's election interference trial. In a quid pro quo arrangement, Arnold agreed to remain editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines, if the National Enquirer would kill stories that could damage Arnold's carefully crafted image.
Lighting, background and subject matter came together on this one, I was just there to record.
French wild pansies are producing smaller flowers and less nectar than 20 to 30 years ago in ‘startling’ act of evolution, study shows
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10458716
> Flowers are “giving up on” pollinators and evolving to be less attractive to them as insect numbers decline, researchers have said. > > A study has found the flowers of field pansies growing near Paris are 10% smaller and produce 20% less nectar than flowers growing in the same fields 20 to 30 years ago. They are also less frequently visited by insects. > > “Our study shows that pansies are evolving to give up on their pollinators,” said Pierre-Olivier Cheptou, one of the study’s authors and a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. “They are evolving towards self-pollination, where each plant reproduces with itself, which works in the short term but may well limit their capacity to adapt to future environmental changes.” > > Plants produce nectar for insects, and in return insects transport pollen between plants. This mutually beneficial relationship has formed over millions of years of coevolution. But pansies and pollinators may now be stuck in a vicious cycle: plants are producing less nectar and this means there will be less food available to insects, which will in turn accelerate declines.
Caught this juvenile stalking its prey on the mud flat in the salt marsh.
Caught this bathing beauty in the courtyard at Bowers Museum
A Red-shouldered hawk perched on a Sycamore branch. One talon on the branch, the other talon tightly clutching its prey.
Red crown and throat of Anna's Hummingbird, Rufous colored sides. Taking a break from sipping Bird of Paradise nectar, crown and throat coloration was obvious while feeding.
Flock of Ibis' on a sandbar preening and drying in the mid-day sun. Light was right to capture a little of their iridescence.
Would be right to use the names that Indigenous peoples had been using for millennia. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) should be respected as equal to western scientific knowledge. If a species was already known to Indigenous people, it was not discovered by western scientists.
Addendum for clarity. Initiative is to change common names of birds that were named after people. AOS creating a panel to draft new names based off birds features. I think using pre-existing Indigenous names for birds should be considered.
Many mornings this individual can be found been hunting on the rocks by the Jamboree bridge where the San Diego Creek enters the bay. Its nest site was on the other end of the bay near the Newport Dunes.
