Having lived in 3 different cities let me tell you: they ain't got anything close to the same culture. Seattle, NY, and Atlanta are as disparate physically as culturally. And the majority of Americans don't want a rural minority

That's because he's not a master manipulator: he is aggressive and lucky. His actions were aggressive: just not against covid. He sought to shift blame onto local governments and claim glory for himself. This is an example of what

It's basically just there to dissuade casual pickpocket/theft. Like if you're traveling by rail and have your briefcase overhead and are snoozing, someone could just open it, take your laptop and disappear. That's about

It's not just an economic incentive structure though: It's subsidies that make it a priority crop instead of anything else. We could be making so many other things instead. A tax on ethanol & cattle feed would do more to shift

Right. Food production is a greater societal need and a lot of corn goes into making ethanol for cars to burn instead of food. We don't have to outlaw ICE cars to make it more expensive to drive them, we just have to make corn ethanol

Orthogonal maybe: but it's still hard to see it as anything other than testing the associative memory of a dog, rather than intelligence. It's a step below problem solving.

Licorice is toxic in relatively low quantities though. > If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia. https:/&#

This seems particularly troubling in terms of oceanic acidification, right? Carbonic acid is formed in the CO2 uptake. As I recall, it's the same method our bodies use to detect that we need more oxygen: blood acidity from CO2. So if t

The average price of groceries is up 13% since January and saw a 2.6% spike in a single month. So congrats on your local coffee place taking the hit, expect the price to change.

The question is can life arise in such an environment, or only migrate to one. That's yet to be determined as far as I know: extremophiles have all evolved from less tolerant life forms as far as I'm aware.
