Where does the 4% number come from?

Interesting. I think the fact that it's legal to discriminate against young people but not against old people says a lot about the way our political process is structured.

How sure are we that hunting gather societies were more common than forager-horticulture? Is it possible most societies had some component of horticulture and the hunter-gather societies only exist because of favorable environmental condi

This is 1) obviously about supply chain issues, so upfront with the reasons and 2) seems to be genuine about not believing masks are effective in preventing COVID. If that is accurate this is not a lie, because there is no intent to deceive

That's cool. Do you have a link with more info?

We probably will have even cooler stuff up there in twenty years. Also, with the accessibility of space opening up, a refueling mission may become possible.

Isn't this disapproving of an aspect of BC, namely the PoW requirement?

by enkid 5y ago
My thoughts on this: This assumes there's no pressure on the demand side. If fewer people have access to the coins, demand could go down faster than supply goes down. Additionally most people who use it don't actually know how BC

No, I'm saying one comment is saying contact can be seen by spreading of religion, and therefore Chinese and Indian contact were later than European spread. So, looking at the criteria of the above comments, taking them post at their

Can you give a specific example of what you are talking about? What noble lies were being told about COVID? I heard a lot of "we don't knows, but here is the best bet" which were not lies, but all of the lies I heard absolu

The above comment is explicitly talking about spread of religion, not trade networks.

If we're comparing European contact to Indo-Chinese contact, your sense of when Europe was integrated with the Middle East/Mediterranean culture seems a bit off. The Persia, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea had a lot of contac

Chaos and violence are not the sea thing in your definition. I would much rather have political chaos and no violence than violence and political stability.
405.
by enkid 5y ago
This is a strange conclusion considering non-democratic political changes cause plenty of chaos. Russian Revolution, the Chinese Civil War, the Protestant Reformation and accompanying violence, the Boxer Rebellion, all come to mind. Of cour

They aren't feigning ignorance. The poster is saying people use the word in different ways from the "standard" definition, and therefore it has become unclear what any particular person means when they use the word. This is

Trailers often have radically different things then the theaterical releases. That can be scenes, tinting, or sounds, so simply having a trailer with a different tint does not prove how it was originally shown.

Right, the problem isn't the guy reporting the people, it's some of the stuff leading up to it and after it.

Ooookkkkk. That's not even China's goal. China need the US and Europe to have strong economies to sell stuff to for the foreseeable future. China doesn't have a strong consumer sector, outside real estate, which is not a g

Don't many of these companies still do final assembly in China? Foxconn is notorious for it's labor practices in China, but is a Taiwanese company. How can someone separate Chinese assembly from the rest of the product?

So you're just going to make vague allusions to some great evil being done while providing no data? Have you thought about why you get flagged when you discuss this topic?

There were certainly resisters and collaborators with both the Soviets and the Germans.

There's not official requirement, and never has been. It's more a concern about the ambiguity that would arise from such a situation.

Ukraine knows the limits of Western support and is not asking for Western military in Ukraine. What they are asking for is arms sales, training, and economic assistance to deter Russia, which the West is doing, but should continue to step

Ukraine is not part of NATO. The Western response is very different for Ukraine then it would be for a NATO country.

Or they didn't know what they had. People spend a surprising large amount of time trying to cheat at video games. They could have stumbled onto it in this context without realizing the much larger picture.
