Man, the media himself, huh? That guy has to keep his story straight.

The GameBoy Pocket had a really shockingly crisp screen with very deep blacks. The original GameBoy was quite blurry, especially when scrolling.

Like, for instance, thousands of miles through the desert?

Or are only sea voyages from Europe harrowing enough?

Don't mind me, just unintentionally submitting an amicus brief to a pedophile's plea deal. Totally accidental, could have happened to any linguist.

>if you can afford it

We can't, that's why we're moving. It's not to get away from "elements", like prior generations. It's simply too expensive to raise a family in the city. Not to mention, if you moved into the city, your family support structure is likely to be back home.

Ghjattu-volpe is a noun-noun compound, not a noun-adjective pair. Cat-fox is correct.

This is all extremely debunked. The "Dr. Mews" quoted in the article lost his license to practice in the UK, largely on the basis of these claims.

Sure, but we evolved to live on land, and opposable thumbs, far before we developed civilization. Meanwhile, cranial volume continued to expand long after e.g. thumbs.

They'll be using the Citi Building, which is a few minutes' walk from the stations you cited.

It's the 7, G, E, M, R, N, and W. Queens and Queensboro Plazas are only a couple blocks from the Citi building. I agree though - this happening during the L train shutdown will absolutely nuke the G. The E and 7 are already at capacity. The M and R have a good bit of room, though. As for the N and W, they also still have a good bit of capacity, it's just a shame, because rents in Astoria were just starting to go down a bit :/

There's not a ton of civilian craft cruising about at nearly Mach 2.

No, both Neanderthals and humans are generally believed to have each evolved from Homo habilis separately, and then later interbred to varying degrees in various locales.
