I thought that gas was primarily replacing coal as it is cheaper, is readily available, uses (mostly) the same infrastructure, has less CO2 emissions, has the same baseload capability while also being somewhat throttleable, and most importa

I can't believe they never implemented metric time and dates (calendar). Now we seem to be forever* stuck with what we have - a glaring inconsistency in some fundamental units of measurement. * Forever is a long time; after several civ

Another possible option to make navigation more human-friendly would be "keep route simple" - so minimize the number of turns, complex intersections, road works (even without delays), backstreets etc, even at the cost of a few min

While I agree with the general premise that we shouldn't rush to assign blame for individual events to climate change, the rest of the article seems to be trying to say the current fires can't be attributed to climate change as ef

As the article itself says (contradicting the implications of the headline), fire management practices based upon those of aboriginals have indeed been adopted. The problems are that (1) Aboriginal practitioners of these techniques did not

The problem isn't the placebo effect per se. Nor with it's application as a treatment. It's with misleading people as to what is actually helping them. For example selling magical crystals to adjust your aura. I don't kn
