As a kid in the UK, really enjoyed the cartoon series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065298/ Probably never of heard of them if it wasn't for that, wonder how many else outside America heard of them that way.

The virus is growing at different rate in many continents so whilst one may get things under control, the issue shifts and south america and africa do seem to be worrying for many. There will be many waves ahead.

That's cool, though if you feel nostalgic for worms, get a retro emulation version as the play store version will cause all sorts of WTF moments and utter price gorge.

Yes things did change around then,before you had to write your own game or type them in. Then suddenly lots about and in part that IMHO played a part in removing the need-appeal to learn more for many. Though for some the challenges in hac

That's an issue as many live in pockets and those pockets are dense in populus. So population density needs to be looked at on a city/town basis as counting all those deserts and farming land etc, to dilute the numbers can skew p

Be nice to be able to click thru and see the scale of those studies as many have very few studies and without knowing the size and scale of data, I'm still open minded and SMD variations from what I have read, vary upon a greater scale

Sure on average but whilst that is often bounded about, most people are not average. Bit like having 10 people with shoe sizes of 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 so you go, the average size is 8.5 and proceed to make 10 pairs of 8.5 size shoes. Ge
