I am a huge fan of the Kids Online Safety Act, and if you aren't employed by Meta then you should be to. Social media algorithmic recommendations and "addictive product features" have to be turned off BY DEFAULT. Social media

Additionally: you need the wall to be "stable enough", not "equally as stable as a double-layer base". Possibly, double-layer brick walls are over-engineered.

Chauffeurs tend to drive vehicles that are more comfortable than the back seat of a Tesla. Sitting in the back seat of any non-luxury sedan sucks.

If the predicted range occasionally decreases by 3km after driving 1km, well, that's the nature of battery discharge models. It's fine. If the predicted range ALWAYS decreases by 3km after driving 1km, then the prediction is bs.

I've never heard a good story about a caravan, period! I do sometimes wonder if caravans are particularly crap vehicles for intrinsic reasons, or if targeting families means you have to cut costs which reduces quality (kids are $$$$$$)

You left out grains, which were the majority of Europe's diet for the majority of the written history of Europe. The sugar hypothesis doesn't make such sense in light of (cheaper, more plentiful, and calorie-dense) grains.

Indeed. Even with an adjacent PhD and a decade of adjacent research experience, it took me years to learn the very basics of climate modeling. And there's no way I can keep up with the literature. Also, I don't have access to a su

The climate is an extremely complicated system. The first order effect of AMOC collapse might be cooler European summers, but eventual build-up of ice could effect atmospheric systems leading to hotter summers. Of course, more or less comfo
