Tried to wash my kid’s moldy lunch box with bleach, only to learn that could create a super mold. So if my family is found dead, please report the Keith Haring lunchbox

Heading says "Tale of two rivers: North and South Loup Rivers, Nebraska." Maps of the stream network within basins of the North Loup River upstream from Taylor, and the South Loup River upstream from St. Michael. The North Loup, in the Sandhills dune field, has a very sparse drainage network (low drainage density). The South Loup, in thick loess terrain, has a dense drainage network

Plot of daily discharge for the South and North Loup rivers, 1940s to 2024. The South Loup has large spikes of discharge separated by intervals of minimal flow. The North Loup has much steadier flow.

A tale of two rivers, acting the way you would expect them to, based on their basins.

(not the full basin of each river, used the parts above gages at Taylor and St. Michael which are roughly the same area)

Cool! That totally makes sense and I should have actually read the labels 😬
It’s a great example of why a single drainage area threshold is a no no

No, it doesn't pit religion vs the lgbtq community.

It pits child abusers against documented medical science.

And NPR shouldn't even be using the phrase "treatment used to cure..." because it's not a real treatment, and you can't "cure" someone of their sexual orientation or gender.

I guess they thought Modula 2 would take off but now no one has heard of it. Maybe bc C is better
