I doubt it's that the circadian rhythm is news to the person you're replying to, but rather that that line is fairly badly written, particularly the "want sex and have asthma attacks or a fever in the afternoon" part. Su

Math is like a game where you can pick the rules but you have to live with the consequences, and if we choose to define division by zero, a result is that we can prove any number equal to another, e.g. 1 = 2. This ruleset is not fruitful, s

Hmm, so 730k * 30 = 21.9M... with $21M and $12M figures in play, there may have been a digit transposition mistake somewhere, plus maybe truncation instead of rounding... Not that those are lesser mistakes, of course.

Not sure exactly which point you're refuting, but for a long time Vikings and Danes were synonymous, as preserved in terms like Danegeld or Danelaw.

Direct air capture is not the only way to lower CO2 levels, although you are right that point capture of emissions doesn't lower levels by itself. An example of another technique for CO2 reduction is enhanced olivine weathering, or bio

Perhaps worth noting the term's etymology as a cousin of "meeting", and from there seeing how it can come to mean both something that's worth talking about later and something that's not worth talking about now.

They've had multiple power crises recently in which survival was in question, so the particular outcome in the last one says less than the expected frequency for more borderline events in the future.

A watt has dimensions of energy over time. It cannot be used to express a measure of energy unless you multiply it by time, as in a watt-hour.
