Fuckers probably only picked GA.

i'm just saying, i'm sure the multimillionaire businessman and property developer are both being totally altruistic about this and eddie vedder is just being a mean rock star.

Good catch.

I'm no apologist for the big bad businessmen, but, just the same, it's equally important to look at things as objectively as possible. I do think it's interesting that the family is still working with the businessman and the property dev, having since started a new organization.

He should pivot to publicly traded REITs instead. I hear there are some wonderful multi family dwellings going up in west Seattle.

I've donated to EBRP before and researched it. I believe in them. Additionally, its charity ratings are universally very good. I think there is a lot going on here that is not reflected in that article.

This is why I don’t donate to charity.

Instead I tip my servers very well.

Would you mind sharing a website that reflected those ratings, please? My wife was looking around a bit and found it odd that it doesn't seem to be listed in many of the typical places those in her line of work use to assess these things.

BTW - this post isn't meant to be aggressive or a challenge to you. We're both genuinely curious. Thanks

I like Post Malone, but his vibrato (@02:38) sounds like a billy goat. I can't unhear it.

i thought that was great. post malone looked legit surprised when EV started singing his song. watching him sing back up on his own song was weird, but like granting the young kid permission to do his thing. almost like neil young playing with pearl jam at the music awards.

They have a 99% rating at Charity Navigator.

There is also tons of data at https://www.causeiq.com/organizations/e ... 272417202/ - where you can also see the CEO salary (high, at $352,000, but not as high as that article claimed).

Hey man, the guy could be CEO’ing elsewhere. You gotta pay up for someone really good at CEO’ing.

Very helpful, Sisyphus, thank you! My wife said she appreciates it, as well.

Jumping genes and "dark matter"

Over millions of years, changes in DNA allow animals to evolve. Some changes involve only a single rung in DNA's twisted ladder, but others are more complex.

So-called Alu elements are repetitive DNA sequences that can generate bits of RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA, that can convert back to DNA and then insert themselves randomly into the genome. These "transposable elements," or jumping genes, can disrupt or enhance a gene's function upon insertion. This specific type of jumping gene exists only in primates and has been driving genetic diversity for millions of years.
