Even when it's a reasonably developed country (Italy) and when they are spanking new cobblestones can get slippery when it rains, they are noisier, and they are absolutely horrible on a road bike.

Having people be this rich is a problem, though: periods of time where the wealth is superconcentrated have never been good for anyone, the economy slows down, because the superrich never consume in proportion with what they have, there is

You don't need to have a very high average. It's sufficient to have a high wet bulb temperature for a few days to kill off large portions of the population. Also consider that Africa is going to represent most of the demographic g

Is the midpoint between 20k and 80k 40k or 60k? Is the midpoint between 10k and 1M 100k or 505k? I think intuitively when the span is large we easily reason in logarithms even with little math training.

I know there are several versions of Pizza di Pasqua, but the one I'm more familiar with (and the one you link to) is made with cheese and is to be eaten on Easter breakfast with salami.

Beg to differ, some beers age really well. A few years back I bought a couple of cases of gueuze that I'm keeping in a cellar. Every few months I drink one and it's now 8 years old. The evolution has been quite nice so far.
