They got him. Boston Police tweet he's in custody.

So at what percentage of the market does it become okay to plant commodity seeds? If 80% of the seeds were roundup ready, would it have been okay? 50%? 25%? What if only 5% were roundup ready? If he planted 10,000 seeds, it's an almost statistical certainty that he planted at least one...

I don't know that this is all that clear. The seeds were not Monsanto brand seeds. They were just random seeds from the open market. Commodity seeds. He was just smart enough to know that the Monsanto gene was so prevalent, that any random seed would probably have the gene. Please tell me if...

I live about 3/4 of a mile from the finish line, and had considered going to see the marathon at some point yesterday. I'm kind of glad I felt lazy yesterday and decided to stay home. People couldn't reach me by cell phone, so my girlfriend and family members were worried about me. Girlfriend...

The interview didn't go badly, but it wasn't great either. My lack of formal teaching experience hurt me. I was asked questions like "what would your homework policy be?" I responded that I didn't have any strong feelings one way or another about various homework policies, and I'd seek the...

Not to rehash that thread, but it was more of a problem where the students abilities were often orders of magnitude apart. If I graded every student equally across the board, I'd either end up with a group of Bs mixed in with lots of 100%s, or most students failing with a few at 95% or more. I...

Lol, I reconsidered that policy anyway, and besides, that was for university engineering majors, not high school students.

So, after quitting my physics Ph.D grad program last semester, I got my physics teaching license with the aim to be a high school teacher. Teaching and tutoring were my favorite things in undergrad and my one semester in grad school, so I've decided to do it for a living. I have a few months of...

It's clear that you only watched a few episodes. There is plot building and character building in every episode. Some of the best fleshed-out characters are Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon, and Ayra. Sure, there are some cardboard characters, but this is a series with something like 30 major characters...

Embrace it! One of us. One of us. One of us.

I think the biggest reason has been gone over and over in this thread... churches don't have profits to tax. If run correctly, even if you wanted to tax them, there'd be nothing there. Now in reality, I suspect churches and many other non-profits have creative ways to take money out of the...

Just remember what direction your wheels are pointed when you start driving again.

Alright, I just watched the show and I'm still not quite sure what to think. Pretty much anything done by the hosts was somewhat offensive to me. I'm not blaming the hosts, they're just doing what they're told by the producers. But it's as if the show is trying to play to every negative...

I'm not sure I'd call board games a dated product. There are SO many board games out there, and it wouldn't be difficult to fill a store with nothing but board games. There was a store back in my hometown that was pretty much just board games, though I don't believe it was very successful. Maybe...
