Photosynthesis is a perfect example, I know of a handful of useful chemicals that today come from the cultivation of specific plants. Food production is the other obvious one use case for it. If you're byproduct is oxygen, well, can us

I don't understand your point, if you are claiming that O2 is not abundant in space, I think the idea is that we also find an ice asteroid. Where there is water, there is oxygen. Edit: I assume people are missing my reasoning. Yes, wat

With regard to number 4. I always assumed everyone had this ability, it's only in the last few years I've realized this wasn't at all the case. I was discussing study techniques with an anatomy and physiology prof, they were

Factorio is freaking amazing and is my goto game. I've just gotten into the multiplayer aspects and it's completely rekindled my love after 1400 hours of game-time (according to steam, far bit of afk here to be honest). There are

If you liked this article and want to learn more about the games played in corporate finance, I would strongly recommend a book a colleague of mine recommended, "The Quest For Value". This single book had completely changed my vie

Isn't the crux just that, "proper random sampling" can be quite hard. Assumptions are fine in theory, in reality, they can seriously throw us for a loop.

Very, very cool work, I fully expect to use this exact project in the future! To those of you who always thought this stuff looked neat but never tried it out, and to those who may have used blender in the past and gave up, I would HIGHLY e

We always kept our drive free of snow through copious amount of snow blowing and shoveling and if you look at the private roads/driveways up there, that is typically the solution. For the private roads that people didn't shovel or

Honestly not sure, someone with more of a physics background should chime in! We always had winter tires and were quite religious about checking treads, pressure, etc.. as we had to be.

Exactly right, a fair number of my fellow students would ride to school on a snowmobile!

I grew up in Northern Michigan, 6+ foot snow piles from drifts were the norm. Growing up, all we could ever afford were tiny sedans. Can you do it, sure, absolutely. The problem is a sedan not capable for all winter tasks, even minor inclin

As much as I loved this book when first reading it, it is riddled with errors and a lot of it has been refuted. Not to say it isn't a great read, it is, just take it with a very large grain of salt.

>But, we are in a pandemic now. So the rest of your argument is moot. Firm disagreement, change the word pandemic with cancer diagnosis, it's the same problem from the parent point of view. My point is, when, exactly, should the com

I invite you to visit Northern Michigan! This world exists only 7 hours, by car, north of Chicago, a metro area with something like 9.5 million people. Hardly 'pretty far out' in my opinion. Growing up I had to call EMS a few time

I disagree with your last bit. >'Given the extreme change we are going through, the “if you can’t handle it, don’t have kids argument” is just not realistic. A pandemic isn’t “just how life goes”.' Maybe not a pandemic but it s

Personally, I would agree that it's your responsibility for your own land, but I also don't believe in forcing owners to do what I personally want them to do. If you can own a farm without polluting across the street, say,to my ho

Of course, this, I believe, the person I was responding to was somewhat implying and what I was hoping to hint upon in my comment. The discussion around nuclear, and really most politics, is around ownership and the limits to what you can d

Well duh, literally everything has risk though. Your comment is effectively useless in my opinion as it adds nothing to the conversation of improving a company, you're just stating it's risky. It's risky to even get out of be

Absolutely, why not? As long as the waste dealer is offering a deal that is satisfactory for me as the landowner/waste site, I would happily store said waste. Your question is a bit absurd; nobody is suggesting to keep it inside of som

Ideally from day 1, the sooner you have the option for profitability, whether or not the company decides to take profit or reinvest, the better your chances of not wasting a ton of money. Even if the actual tech takes a year or two to devel

I'm really surprised we don't hear more about teams using tools like VR to play in the 'opponents turf'. One thing I noticed playing sports was how terrible we could feel just from not knowing where locker rooms are when
