Yes. Along 'chopping' - or reservation of seats using tissue paper, not returning utensils after eating in a hawker center. You die your problem. You suffer I sleep well tonight. Just google ugly Singaporean. Yes those ugly habits

from a lecturer's perspective - It's not a problem if students pass - it's a problem if everybody gets an 'A' and there was no way to differentiate the cohort. It's a problem if too many fail - you have people

The green revolution eliminated a lot of farming jobs. It is a step forward in the right direction. If I wanted a burger, wouldn't it be more humane to have an automated system that takes in raw material and synthesizes it on demand in

The limiting factor of automation is still, the amount of human labor you still need. Can it be reduced to zero? Why do you even need the farmers if that's the case?
