Where I live in the US southeast, non-professionals tend to get married at around 20-24 years old, then tend start having kids within a year or two of getting married. Income doesn't really factor at all. At least on the more conservat

This bug happened to the crypto project Compound. I work for a crypto company that has a DeFi product that uses Compound. So I've been deep into following this since it started. The funds sent to users were "rewards" for usin

Well, the US sort of faced the situation that you were describing (fighting an enemy that killed six to ten million people in four years) and then passed a law similar to what you are describing. Have a a look at the Sedition act of 1918. I

The bombing of Hiroshima was unimaginable destruction, and yet did less damage than the very first mass firebombing attack on Japan four months earlier. At this point in the war the Americans had been hitting Japanese cities with 300-500 su

I checked a recent deployment and every combat aircraft on that US carrier is an F-18. Using one multi-purpose aircraft has some fantastic advantages if you can pull it off. A carrier can use all its combat aircraft to fight enemy aircraft

Each US nuclear reactor has a planned shutdown every two years or so [1]. It's a crazy couple weeks, particularly since many outside technical crews brought in to work on the shutdown are already scheduled to go on to the next shutdown
