Wikipedia lists about 5 other uses, some of which would probably still be relevant today if we didn't have cheaper ways to make perfume. Silly wise men, giving expensive, light, easily liquidated assets to people they believed were going to be fugitives. As well as some much heavier, but very easily liquidated assets. Poorest choices imaginable.

And more approachable! All the chimps have access to assholes and grass. No one has to feel left out, as long as they leave it in!

I wouldn't feel too bad about this. He's going where he needs to for funding/support. The War on Science is his latest book, and it's like a who's who of shitty people complaining about how their academic efforts are being attacked for whatever reason and the real answer is generally assault, harassment, or embarrassing their employers (universities). One great example was a professor being outraged on the infringement of their free speech when the university asked people to not use blackface as part of their Halloween costumes. Note what I said there. They didn't say they couldn't wear blackface, just that they should reconsider doing so. That is the exact opposite of censorship. I went into that 4-hour (!) video thinking I'd watch an example or two and couldn't stop.

If anything, the people you want to reach might find Krauss approachable. Use him as a tool for good. And if you find someone more palatable, use them for the climate deniers who aren't on the anti-woke train.

I see all the things you're saying, and none of it resonates with me.

I've seen every season of Stranger Things, usually when it first came out. I think it's been pretty good overall, and is an interesting story.

I haven't watched GoT or Lost. I didn't find them that engaging. I literally have less than 5 minutes of GoT, and maybe 3 episodes of Lost.

I almost never have conversations about shows except if I liked it and why, or the same from another person's perspective.

I have seen about as many ads of any kind in the last week as you have for Stranger Things, and have ordered my life to not see them. Most of the ads I see are on billboards and most of my routes have almost none on them, except for the specials at restaurants. I've been staying at home more over the holidays, which is a factor.

I find it interesting seeing the different perspectives and lifestyles people have.

Myhrr was also used in incense, balms, etc. They were great gifts for anyone for the reasons you listed, especially during a time when people of that nationality had been ordered to travel possibly great distances and you believed the people you were giving the gifts to would be fugitives.

Yeah, I'd hope ancient enmities wouldn't lead to modern problems, but it's funny watching some people treating the indigenous people's like a single entity, or like there weren't fights between groups.

...that will start some fights...

Complain about that in the news or medicine channels, and probably not the medicine channel, either. This is a science channel, where science is discussed.

Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

He might even deserve a statue? It would be especially compelling if it showed him in the act of killing Hitler, as brutal as that might be.

If you find a crystal skull, just put it in a deep, dark hole and don't tell anyone.

I doubt I'll ever be bald, although I expect I'll be pretty thin in my 70s and later, and I haven't really cared one way or another about baldness. I got my first grey hair in my teens and it hasn't stopped, and I don't care too much about that, either (it was cool when I had the flashes of grey above my ears like Reed Richards in the old comics, which I thought looked so fake). My beard is shit, and I don't care. I shave because it looks like shit, tho. It's great if we can accept what we are.

I'm glad you're happy with your skullet and epic beard.
