Disgust is an odd thing. It makes sense that we would feel a sense of revulsion at the thought of putting rotten meat in our mouths – that’s pure evolution.

Love your show! But it is accepted lore here in central KY, where there are lots of vultures, that Turkey Vultures do not kill their prey but that Black Vultures sometimes do. This is reflected here: https://cfaes.osu.edu/news/articles/black-vultures-the-rise-growing-problem-for-livestock-producers

Great podcast on dyslexia. I work with dyslexic kids and you are absolutely right - it takes practice and patience. And, we know HOW to teach reading properly because of the work of Dr. Orton mainly. I'd like to add too that everyone's brain is different... musicians' brains, athletes' brains etc. But we don't have a name for the condition of needing extra instruction and practice for sports or music!

I was brought out 2 to 4 weeks earlier then should . The doctor, had to go to Hawaii. Well , when you got to go you got to go a. But potentially had another month in the oven

I was diagnosed with dyslexia. I had heaps of trouble with it . I don't care , cause I got a successful earthmoving business. But, I found . I could read everything really easy , but I couldn't remember what I was reading . But I have been listening to pod cast for last 12 months . I remember word for word on all the histroy pod cast etc . Or tv doco, remember everything word for word , or if someone reads it to me. I have learned more , in my machines . in the last 12 months, then my whole 12 years at school. school systems are prehistoric, really not getting the best out of everyone

Justin Cavanagh Congratulations! :D that's awesome, we are lucky that technology has provided so many new ways to learn. My partner is dyslexic and now because of duolingo he is able to learn different languages he never had the opportunity to in school.

Because, Yankees are too frugal to dirty a fork AND a knife. So they just use the knife to eat since they already had to dirty it to cut the pie. Eating out of cooking pots is also a very Yankee thing. lol
