Gen X is normally described as 1965-1980 so 44 to 59 years old.

Average age of mothers first birth right now is 27. It was around 25 for most of Gen X. So 25 + 27 = 52. Yeah new grandparents are not boomers.

Replace the "or else" with an "and" and you are describing my parents.

FYI the genetics of peas is more complicated than Mendel described. He fudged his numbers a bit. Likely because he didn't have the ability to explain some of the variation (gene interactions).

All fully armed and ready to launch.

Judging by how the rest of the crew scattered except the guy doing the launching, this isn't the first time they have come under fire during a launch.

My boomer mother has never been diagnosed as far as I know. . She is obviously on the autism spectrum towards what used to be called aspergers. Add in a violent streak, some narcissistic tendencies, religious extremism, and deeply ingrained racism to the mix to make it extra spicy.

I haven't seen or spoken to her in more than a decade but I doubt anything has changed.

Basic historical facts.

Israel has systematically stolen freedom, land, property, life and liberty from the Palestinians. They have committed untold atrocities since the end of WW2.

In a futile attempt to stop Israel, Palistinians and other Arabs have resorted to acts of terror, murder, and other atrocities.

Both sides have been funded/supplied as a proxy war between nuclear capable nations.

In my opinion the timing of this war is very suspicious. The traditional suppliers of the Palestinians are pouring their resources into Ukraine. This has left the Palistinians conveniently weak in resources for a war.

Yes.

For a long time identifying bacteria required growing them on different media. If then bacteria didn't grow on the media,, we didn't know what it was. However for most pathogenic bacterium we did figure out how to culture them.

Then molecular biology advanced to a level where we can amplify and sequence a single bacterium's DNA. This has led to a continuous stream of new species discoveries from different environments.

Finding a new pathogenic bacteria for humans is still a rare discovery.

It's probably an effective way to light a car on fire.

At the base of the windshield is a water collection and drain system. This is usually all plastic and flammable. It also drains down to the ground.

So the primary point of ignition is the drain tray. The flames on the ground might catch some parts of the engine compartment on fire as well.

I imagine it's routine to drop things that explode before ramming the drone from above.

So I am guessing a lot.

The dark green means they are underripe. Many people harvest them early if a frost is coming. When harvested unripe they do not store well and end up rotting out faster (the external shell has not cured).

It's better to pick an earlier maturing variety if your season is not long enough for them to mature in. These varieties generally have the precocious yellow gene which makes immature fruit a bright yellow.

I was wondering why the most reasonable car dealership around here stocked up on electric vehicles. They brought in like 100 used vehicles in.

Well, her new business is a subscription service to keep the pictures she has of them off the internet.
