The #WRAP #SoberRide codes for the #BIGGAME will be released at 6:00pm on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025! So if you plan on drinking🍻🥂🍸🍹 during the game, plan for a safe ride home!

WRAP’s SoberRide®, called one of the nation’s most successful free safe ride programs for would-be impaired drivers, has helped to ensure greater Washington, DC residents have a safe way home on high-risk holidays.

Continued thread

Key questions, key areas:

#Grandmothering/#cooperative #childcare. Do women experience this support? Are they living with Mum? (Hawkes et al, Hrdy, Opie and Power, Knight, Migliano, Scelza)

If #matrilocal, is #brideservice more productive than if #patrilocal (Marlowe, Woodburn)? what factors influence residence patterns? Do brothers keep check on husbands (Hill et al on bro/sis relation, which is an evolutionary novelty for great apes)?

Abundance, #biggame + women's #economic #autonomy (Lewis, Woodburn, Marlowe, Blurton Jones, Lee, Thomas). In what contexts can men be lazy and live off women's work? When do women get demanding with sex contingent on produce like honey and fatty meat? Women like meat (Biesele)!

The significance of an oral tradition to a foraging society is examined from anthropological, ethnographical and historical perspectives.

#CollegeFootball #ACC

Just checked the box score & #Cal came from behind 21-10 in the 4th quarter to beat #Stanford 21-24 in the #BigGame at #MemorialStadium in #Berkeley earlier today.☺️

Must a been very exciting for those #CalBears fans who were able to watch the game at the stadium or on #Fubo which did NOT include me. ☹️

The win reportedly guarantees the #Bears a #BowlGame spot with just a 6-6 record if they lose to #SMU next week.

The #Niners should be so lucky. 🤷

Go Bears!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

#ACC #CollegeFootball

#Cal is favored by over 5 to 1 by #ESPN to beat #Stanford in the #BigGame today & I can't believe that the game isn't being aired on any local #TV channel & can only be seeing on the #ACCChannel that can only be seen by streaming it on #Fubo with a subscription fee as high as $80/month.🤦

I know that Fubo is offering a #FreeTrial that could enable me to watch the fame for free but I refuse to signup for any "free trials" to do something like that.

Besides, I really hate watching anything on my tiny laptop & I still haven't figured out how to connect it to my #BigScreenTV via #HDMI. 🤷

Just discovered that Fubo is available as an app on #Amazon #Firestick & I've got one on my big screen TV but I still won't sign up for it just to watch the game.

Go Bears!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I like this commenter on this piece after #Microsoft officially finalized the #Activision takeover: theverge.com/2023/10/13/237912

"So #BigGame has officially formed. It is #Tencent, #Sony, Microsoft, and #Nintendo. Nobody else can challenge this group. Nobody can outcompete this group. Nobody can do anything if all members of this group don't approve it. Good luck."

Yep, it's a really sad day for the gaming industry and it's another reason why I'm mostly done with modern AAA mainstream gaming.
