Maybe it’s not “natural”, but a matured land management practice. It’s 1000s of years of fire culture vs a couple of hundred. Also, GP never made this assertion you're claiming if you read the actual comment

Random connection died with the uptake of social media. I remember in the early 2000s, chat programs like ICQ, AIM, and MSN Messenger permitted random connections, and it was fairly common for strangers to make chat requests from a genuine

But also environmentalists aren't the ones pushing for paper straws, it's mostly greenwashing by large corps and governments. Though from a conservation perspective, less plastic waste is probably a good thing for waterways and t

The government is charged with employing foresight when designing policy, particularly around financial incentives where the wolves are ready to take full advantage of any available loophole. The incentives need to be perfectly aligned with

I'm not sure how this statement is contrary to what I've written > A native plant in one context is an exotic pest in another. Emphasis added. Edit: Just in case it doesn't seem that way, I'm pro-conservation, and i

I doubt they would support a study that possibly conclude to use less of their products, or they might test a number of hypotheses and then only pursue a published study on whatever makes cosmetic products appear better. It's sensible

Seems like a mitigation for this kind of issue would be to simulate the inputs to the system for the expected flight duration.

I wouldn't trust any study in concert with a cosmetics company to be impartial/sensible science. They're aiming for a result that increases revenue for their products (or leads to products that can generate revenue for them)

What was once autism is disintegrating into the neurodiversity movement, which I don't disagree with. I suppose it just becomes unwieldy when certain traits cluster frequently to say one has, by example, Sensory Processing Disorder, D

You make a good point. The "I find X difficult" is a 'disability' trait, and disabilities are only really relevant where they conflict with the expectations of wider society. In all cases it's really the social
