I remember hearing about that, I didn't realize she only drank 2 gallons (yeah, I know, that is still a ton to drink in just a few hours, but I thought it would take a lot more than that to literally kill someone)

You mean all the Democrats that were praising them for their decades-long careers and all the good work they'd done, but also calling for them to step down once it was clear they were no longer up to the task?

But definitely learn how to do them correctly before just going HAM with them, otherwise you'll probably just throw out your back.

Why? Am I out of the loop on something here?

That is 100% untrue, considering one party's destination is fascism.

The painting was never in any danger of being damaged, and I'm certain these protesters knew that ahead of time.

I recently bought a new house and holy crap, what a difference. Even shorter people had to duck going up & down the stairs in my old basement. There is not a single place in my new house that I need to duck my head, and it's glorious.

The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.

Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country’s largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

The salmon were once abundant in American rivers, but factors such as overfishing, loss of habitat and pollution reduced their populations to only a handful of rivers in Maine. The fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and sometimes only a few hundred of them return from the ocean to the rivers in a year.

The greater survival of the salmon could be evidence that conservation measures to protect them are paying off, said Sean Ledwin, director of the Maine Department of Marine Resources sea-run fish programs. The count of river herring is also up, and that could be aiding the salmon on their perilous journey from the sea to the river.
