If you search for declining sperm counts you'll find that the evidence is all over the place. It makes a good headline, but studies have it dropping, rising, staying stable. There's no real evidence that people are having a harder

I paint as a hobby. I think a lot of people put less value on digital art in general. It's almost like too perfect doesn't hit it right for most people. I was in a local gallery last week and saw one image from afar thinking &quot

I had the same thought but most European countries don't have as wide freedom of speech laws as the US. Same problem with moving to Australia or New Zealand, though it'd be awesome to have a project like that based here.

Folks that are more competent and considered are less likely to be involved in the first place. I think we can see that from Trump's first time in office. There were people politically aligned that fell by the wayside. Unfortunately in

well expanding on that analogy, if you don't have your own workshop and/or don't want to spend time setting one up, then getting use of a shared community workshop would be fine. Especially if all the drawers are labelled, an

That's not true. I afforded it. It probably had a positive ROI, though it's extremely hard to tell. But I regret going, it wasn't the experience I needed or was looking for. Talking to some others later in life, I wish I had

I don't think this is a great argument. Crabs and lobsters have claws which are almost hand like. And Octopus have tentacles, which can be highly manipulative. So those limbs must give those creatures an advantage even in water. It wou

Maybe ChatGPT told them it was a good idea? Considering the proliferation of these tools there's no way it's worth $3B. This functionality is going to be built into every IDE eventually: vscode just got an agent mode, it might not

No where would have an open door policy for a sizeable portion of the population. It's not that easy to legally move anywhere and the systems in place are designed for around the number they currently process.

You also have to consider the longevity of your strategy. Trump might not care about the value function, but over the longer term the EU could make a bet that the US does and will, one way or another, return to leadership that does. And ind

Yes but there's always going to be a quota and at least with an EU one you can catch fish in EU waters not just your own, which is what I meant by it allowing them to catch fish.

What the fishing industry in the UK wanted out of Brexit was pie in the sky though. It's not like the plan was to saw the British isles off the continent and set sail into the Atlantic, so they still had to deal with the fact of fishin

The EU quotas didn't impair them from catching fish, it allowed them to catch fish. The problem for British fishermen being that the fish people like to eat in the UK are the ones that tend to hang out in other countries waters, and v

The US is powerful, but it isn't all powerful. If this were the 1950s then the US could dictate and the world would fall into line. I think even if the US had been strategic about this then the outcome could be much more under its cont

Yes and even better if your pieces of paper are what the peasants use to trade with one another. That means you can make more paper money and it keeps value because it's in demand beyond your own trade needs.
