Absolutely know they're a thing (used to teach high school). But this driver neither had, nor consulted a list, so the ID demand was security theater.
So pointing out that in other situations this COULD have been good practice is trying to win an argument no one was having.

If you are in Baltimore, and you haven't had an adult MMR booster or recent titers, now is the time to get that booster! Mumps immunity is more susceptible to waning than measles and it needs a single adult booster after age 18 or so for maximum efficacy!

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

No, because if they truly behave as homeologs, A wonβt line up with B at synapsis. So youβd get enforced AB gametes and youβd get back AABB babies.

No, theyβd give AB gametes if acting purely as allopolyploids (eg like diploids).

I wonder how many plant species have gone extinct, but their genomic legacy lives on as intact subgenomes of extant allopolyploids.
