There is a lot of archeological evidence that early agriculturists were very malnourished because they depended entirely on their wheat and bread
i have heard a lot about this from my prewife who is VERY interested in early subsistence patterns.
Yeah, I've heard that before. When people went from being hunter-gatherers to farmers their overall health and welfare actually decreased since they had a less varied diet and were now toiling away and losing part of their crop to kings/warlords/priests/etc.
Interesting theory I read was that the divide between the new farmers and those who resisted "domestication" and remained as nomadic pastoralists was so stark that the latter barely regarded the former as human.
you know, i think that Diamond talked about this case in Guns Germs and Steel, and maybe Pollan did in one of his books, but on the other hand, the agriculturalists ended up winning out pretty handily. Like, the hunter-gatherers had an unsustainable lifestyle with enormous variability from day-to-day.
Now that you mention it, I remember that. I was thinking of Gywnne Dyer's War.
Basically, "warfare" had historically tended to be pretty tame; more ritualistic and less about killing people, until the divide between farmers and pastoralists. The latter would raid the former and, because they had nothing but contempt for them and their way of life, warfare became much more violent.
Worses: Water leaking through the ceiling into a light fixture.
Worstest: Water leaking through the ceiling in a light fixture, and the water is picking up rust or something making it look like blood.
Bad: Water leaking
Worse: Water leaking through the ceiling
Worses: Water leaking from the ceiling comes from the toilet upstairs
WORSTEST: The nasty water is fertile ground for mushrooms to grow out of your ceiling
We're on the top floor, so it has to be coming through the roof. The only good part is since it's exterior the condo association has to pay to have it looked at and/or fixed.

I kinda thought that being afraid of thunder was wierd for her but I didn't say anything because it meant she used me as protection against the thunderstorm when we slept
Oh hey, are we gonna have "Who has the worst water damage"-off?
Because I'm pretty sure I win that one.
Again.
Oh, I'm sure the damage isn't that bad. Plus I hopefully won't have to deal with it. But having redish footprints suddenly appear in your hallway at night while it's pouring out, well...
what i mean is a basement flooding sucks and costs a lot but it is no where near as gross as shit-water dripping onto the floor of your bedroom and then having mushrooms grow out of the ceiling where the shit water is collected

I wish I knew where my family was from. I'm pretty sure it's Italy and not Sicily.
But my last name is Italian as fuck.

Every girl I've ever known that's taller than me likes thunderstorms.
That's so weird.
I tolerate sun
you'd think they'd worry about getting struck by lightning

I will grant you this.

conversely I once knew a girl that was shorter than me who was afraid of thunder
I bet you built your home out of trees you chopped down.
And you get electricity by using a water wheel on an aqueduct that you carved out of stone.

so that's where I stashed that hooker

I am happy to say that I am not part of the "family business". My grandfather on my mother's side did us all a favor and got out of that right away.
Oh christ, my body hair. Let's just say all of the above.
They speak Picard!

SIG is in Boston, which is a fantastic city to walk around when it's not being drenched by a monsoon.
If she were in some bullshit city like Houston of DC, where no one ever leaves the indoors anyways, then it's fine to adore the theoretical rain.

This would sting if the sicilian wasn't the part considered the mud.
getting real for a sec, I assume this means may need to sleep here, but I can't put him up. I'm actually not gonna be around for a while. I'll PM you.
