re: Do you think Great Apes could eventually evolve enough to have their own Stone Age?
Posted by alajones on 6/21/25 at 10:39 pm
It’s hard to determine if the behavior is in fact “evolved”. Has there been an observable change in the species? Or, have they been doing this for thousands of years already and we are seeing it for the first time? If they are fashioning armor to themselves in a few hundred years, I guess we will know.

Why does every announcer in every LSU and Saints game always pull for the other team?
re: Anyone stumbled upon a dead human body

I watched two people die when I was 16. A buddy and I were driving up US Hwy 431 coming into Huntsville. It had just started raining and the bottom fell out.
A car coming towards us in the opposite direction spun sideways across the median and directly into a van traveling about a hundred meters in front of us. The van careened off into a field and the car spun around at least a couple of times.
We were the first on the scene. I ran up to the car and it was totally smashed in on the rear. The driver and passenger were clearly dead. My buddy went off to check on the van. It was two elderly folks who had both suffered back injuries and couldn’t move out of their seats.
I watched the driver begin to gargle bloody foam out of her mouth. I would later learn it was called a death rattle. By this time, others had stopped. Someone heard a baby crying in the car. Before the first responders had even gotten there, a person had pulled it out and rushed it to the hospital. It died later that night.
Besides that, I’ve seen death in the military.

re: Zion National with Kids in July
Posted by alajones on 6/20/25 at 4:30 pm
We went there for a couple of days with my kids. We stayed at a hotel off park and bussed in.
Hike the narrows. The kids will have to wade in some cold water, but it’ll be a blast. Also, the Three Pools(?) hike was amazing. We did it pretty early and we were the only ones at a couple of the pools.
Bryce Canyon is only a short drive and you can hike through the Hoo Doos in an afternoon.

You have time to do Little Round Top, the cemetery, and the Picketts Charge tour.

re: Saddest ending of a beloved artist
Posted by alajones on 6/18/25 at 4:47 pm
It’s hard to make the case for the superlative “saddest”.
Others have been mentioned already that are probably better suited for the title, however…
Sam Cooke.
He had an incredible run including the ultimate civil rights song.
He was killed by a motel manager while drunk AF trying to find a girl (who was fleeing from him) he’d brought to the hotel.

Bond needs to be a period piece set in the Cold War.
Their target audience is over 45. They need to accept that.

re: Cancelling Comcast Xfinity via Nonpayment?
Posted by alajones on 6/16/25 at 7:40 pm
I feel like they will cancel it for you, but you’ll still have some kind of balance, which if you don’t pay will go to a collection agency.

Good for him. This is something that young man will always have. I like that he pointed to his jersey kind of saying “don’t count us out”.
We will see.

Saw this guy yesterday hiking. The banding makes you do a double take real quick.
