I think Indigenous falls into that Overinclusive Category that the video talks about. I've heard First Peoples as the Canadian term for Indigenous populations. Eskimo is not an appropriate term as they prefer either Inuit, Yupik or Inupiat. Eskimo is an Algonquin word that some have interpreted as "eater of raw meat" but that is debatable.

One word we're hearing more often is 'Indigenous', which is a term from biology, meaning 'found naturally in the particular geographic location'. But it's being used to cover 'Indian' in Canada, and it works for 'Eskimo' as well. And on the evening news, when you hear it about 'black' people in Africa. Useful or not?

In my experience, many companies are not interested in keeping their long-term employees anymore. It is cheaper and more profitable to hire low-wage part timers. Especially profitable if they don't have to offer insurance or benefits to those working less than 30 hours per week. Where I work, I am one of the 10% who have been there more than 5 years. The other 90% are mostly part timers who learn the skills and then find full-time work somewhere else. If my company offered full time to new employees, maybe some the 70% who work there less than a year, might have stayed.

"The question is, how do companies keep their employees with this kind of thing going on?" Well, my first thought was ...don't eliminate their job while they're out on maternity leave.

I'd try them. The jam and honey looks interesting. The contextual clue here is

"Northern Russia, the Caucasus and much of Siberia are famous for their lush pine forests. Locals have learned to utilize everything that the harsh nature there has to offer."

Indeed.

Sounds like a desperation dish, possibly from the Stalin era.

that first picture gave me a chuckle

Terrible Idea about the armor. Unless it's super lightweight. During an apocalypse, every ounce you carry has to be counted. Same thing applies to people who go hunting in the mountains or any rough terrain. They literally weigh energy bars and make everything perfectly efficient in their backpacks.

Max Brookks' definitive Zombie Survival Guide also discusses the advantages of bikes- along with what's already noted, they are easier to repair than a car, and if you have to, you can carry them over/around obstacles. I suspect they don't get used much in zombie movies because it IS hard to look cool riding one.

I might have kept watching it if it looked more like a Monty Python skit.

Self-control is only one facet of a child's personality development. While null results always add to our body of knowledge, there are plenty of other things that chores may contribute to, like socialization, responsibility, a sense of mastery, family bonding, etc.

People are willing to lie to get laid?
