Using a novel technique, a team of scientists at UCLA have managed to take the body temperature of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Despite being extinct for over 65 million years, the T. rex could be studied because the team discovered a power beyond time, beyond death: dentistry. Examining the isotopes in the molecules of the enamel, the researchers have now announced that the world's most famous dinosaur had an internal temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a few degrees. That's roughly the same as you or I, or your best elephant friend. This is proof that T. rex was indeed warm-blooded, as long suspected, as opposed to most other reptiles. That in turn suggests that T. rex was an active and fast-running predator or scavenger, rather than a sit-and-wait ambush predator like a crocodile. Speed definitely makes them worthy of our little blog.

‘Onwards and Sideways’ Review: Laura Linney and Rhys Ifans Cut Through the Sweetness of a Gentle, Compassionate Parkinson’s Drama

There’s nothing fun about Parkinson’s disease, and no film about it can engineer an uncompromised happy ending. But John Madden’s “Onwards and Sideways” finds more uplift than one might expect in a story of two people, both living with Parkinson’s, exploring the possibilities of living with it together. It’s generally sunny and soft in outlook, though not blind to the disease’s debilitating effects on the body and mind — thanks to the firsthand insight of veteran TV comedy writer and Parkinson’s activist Paul Mayhew-Archer (“The Vicar of Dibley”), bringing his personal experience of the disease to his first feature screenplay. Even when the film strays into anodyne territory, it’s given genuine feeling and integrity by stars Laura Linney and Rhys Ifans, both superb as strangers in rural England who are initially blindsided, and gradually drawn together, by their shared diagnosis.

Giving gifts in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a fast, if not always easy, way to increase support levels with potential recruitable allies. Giving the right gift that aligns with the recipient's taste results in a hefty support boost roughly equivalent to inviting that character to a meal they love. However, figuring out what everyone likes isn't always easy, not when some list their likes as "looks of fear" or other such things you normally can't buy in stores.
