I wouldn’t call him a celebrity at this point. And I don’t know that being a professional athlete automatically makes one a celebrity either. There are plenty of pro athletes that can walk down the street unrecognized. Just because you’re in the NFL doesn’t mean everyone knows you.

Here’s a couple of NPR stories about indigenous people running restaurants that reflect their cultures:

You left out squash, many of varieties of were a staple vegetable across North America (and possibly South as well? I’m less familiar.) Also, peppers. Extremely important.

Weird. I was graciously fed that when I was filming a powwow in Indiana for the local news and they just called them “Indian Tacos.” I wonder why they didn’t give the Navajo credit?

Edit: also…

What I think is fascinating is that there is conclusive evidence that Polynesians and Indigenous South Americans interbred.

But only once.

The Mississippians were growing corn in the Midwest. I am sure it was grown in the East as well. When you have a domesticated plant that grows pretty much everywhere and is able to fulfill a lot of your dietary needs, it spreads and spreads. See wheat or rice. Or in the Andes, potatoes. Or taro in Polynesia.

Interesting! I had no idea. Thanks!

The ceilings here are super high. I wouldn’t be able to reach it. Would a heated ceiling be all that efficient?

Apartment. First floor (second floor for Americans). Heat does rise, so maybe that’s it?

So it’s just really good insulation?

Would the walls and floor still be cold if they were doing that? I honestly have no idea how that would work.

I am not on the ground floor, and I thought maybe it would be some under-floor heating thing like you are saying, but I have walked all over the room in bare feet and felt no heat in the floor.

I’m not sure how else it stays that warm when it is below freezing outside.

I’m guessing the people dumb enough to drive in NYC are not displeased about what Trump did.

Not for many thousands of years afterward.

No, he always flew away.

Are you saying his theme song is a lie? Because it says he’s going to take pollution down to zero!

Same thing you can do with half a hole. Fix it to keep your mind from wandering.

It was worth the low price I paid, so yes. Thank you.

Ah.

I may not be wearing my glasses and I may have had some wine.
