The term I've heard is 'task saturation' and I absolutely love it (the term, not the situation). (The solution proposed is usually to pull some science staff from science into operation, which luckily didn't have to happ

I am a bit concerned by the rate my citizens are consuming gold jewellery. It seems similar to the food consumption rate - what the heck are they doing?

I'm sorry, this is not enough. We need a competent neutral and trusted third party to verify the truth thoroughly if we want to make sure. Statements of the Chinese government concerning this matter are not trustworthy. Statements of p

If that was reasonable then there wouldn't be any problem with letting us check, no? I'm from Germany, this looks exactly like the thing we reiterate 'never again' on. What would you have done, looking at Germany in 1940

Is it on a ferry or is the map just not accurate there? I don't see it on the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_ferry

So what would happen if, say, an Australian or Haitian converted to Hinduism? Or is that not possible?
