For the same reason we can't drink seawater: there is too much salt in it. The recommended water intake for a human is ~2kg, the recommended salt intake is ~2g. That's 0.2%, seawater has 1.5%. After you'd have eaten your shar

Maybe because they want the bike lanes to be safe? Of course, this should be a municipal task, just like it is here in the Netherlands. However, when municipalities don't care about cyclists, volunteers might pick up the slack.

Watching movies/series is noticeably better on a 10" screen. I suppose the same can be true for some games. Other than that, I don't see much extra value for tablets either.

Example: in the 1930, Dutch municipalities would record ethnicity for their citizens. The argument was that ethnicity wasn't something you'd need to hide, and it could be useful should you need to identify yourself. When in 1940 t

Not sure if this is the answer, but if instead of looking at money economics, we look at entertainment economics. Instead of producing crops, people produce entertainment. Instead of being paid with money, they are paid with status/val

I thought that earth elevation data is unreliable in forested areas, as vegetation hides the true elevation of those areas. That's probably not a significant problem on Mars...

Is swatting a thing outside of the US? I've never heard of it happening here in the Netherlands. It seems to me that the concept of swatting requires a not-to-competent shoot-first-ask-questions-later police force. If the US police for
