You took the trouble to italicize the binomial, but didn't capitalize the generic name, whereas the OP's title failed to not capitalize the species epithet.

It is. I do. If not chains by the same name, equivalent ones that are as or more expensive than Five Guys. E.g., Fat Hippo are in Birmingham, Cardiff, Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham... And of the chains I mentioned

Correct. However, enough of us do to render your claim that Five Guys is "3x as expensive as any other chain" entirely factually incorrect. And the situation's basically the same in any UK city big enough to have a few Five G

Five Guys is not "3x any other burger chain", that is lunacy. I live in London and eat burgers a lot. Chains like GBK ("Gourmet" Burger Kitchen, of course just another mid-market chain, not gourmet in a classical sense),

To give an example to further illustrate answers you've received. In the 1800s it was common to produce heavily editorialized volumes of Bach, Scarlatti and other baroque keyboard works, with tempo and dynamic indications, written-out

These are all common, obvious fruits, several of which are not even from Asia originally. I feel someone speaking from "the deep end" would have more esoteric recommendations but also very strong preferences about what particular

"The Amazon" and some of the other habitats you mention, all very different in their ecologies (and especially their relationship to fire), have had very complex histories, but their co-history with humans must be seen as a recen

This is probably too far in the other direction, in that it seems not to have a web crawler, and only indexes submitted and curated links that meet some useability criteria, but, http://wiby.org/

The genomic studies described in the article clearly show the phylogenetic relationship of Asgard archaea to other archaea and thus better resolve their place on Earth's singular tree of life. The excitement is over their potential to

I don't think you're missing something, although there are many nuances here. Selection certainly converges on local optima, but yes, there's nothing making a "choice" to do so (except with sexually selected traits

Evolution is not a random process. Natural selection acts on genetic variability in a population; selection is inherently non-random. A component of variability is due to random mutation. Just because evolution does not have a priori goals

I've been experimenting a lot with both very simple and complex prompts. I think they both have their use cases. In the example you've replicated the desired image is quite generic. You aren't aiming for a very particular sub

Yes, although the surprising thing here relates more to chimaerism than diploidy alone. And that should be "invade" and not "evade" in the crucial sentence in the closing paragraph: "crazy yellow ants’ chimaerism co

I get this. With anything from the core classical repertoire, the obvious major composers, to a good listener, you almost already know the piece before you learn it. With jazz standards too, but there is much more flexibility required in ac

Conservation biology does focus on the benefits of biodiverse ecosystems to individual humans. In particular it models the way in which reduced species numbers will adversely impact us by degradation of ecosystem services like water cycling

There are aspects of this issue that can be framed as a trade-off to be weighed up, but it's important to recognize how inextricably entwined the two things are, the fates of humans and of ecological diversity, and that science has a l

If you take Carlin's quote in isolation you can interpret what he says purely in terms of the physical planet remaining. But if you listen to the whole act the quote's taken from, it's clear that by "planet" Carlin

I really dislike this sentiment. Planets can become entirely inhospitable to life. Planets themselves have lifespans. Earth herself has in the past suffered near misses, e.g. 90%+ extinction events. It took billions of years of evolution to
