The 1 in 200 chance is an old statistic. Since that time obesity and Vitamin D deficiency have both increased along with various other measures of health. There is good reason to believe that modern people have immune systems that will be

This article says she tweeted and it is about Twitter who have taken much Saudi investment, but the punishment is about what she said which is construed as seditious. This is about control of speech, not a tweet and not Twitter or its inve

Might be interesting to compare this to the Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project and other attempts by NASA to combine moon observations. This claims to be the most detailed map available, but how exactly this compares to NASA's combine

You aren't taking the issue seriously. Trash cans getting trashed is a big problem for the city. Ideally they should last decades, but cheap ones end up failing in only a few years. Most other cities also do not have the problem of

This always comes up, but is not accurate. Streetcars were never greatly loved. They were boiling hot in the summer, freezing in winter, the ride was jarring, and they were crowded with all manner of people. During the war maintenance wa

This is missing a lot of history. There was a lot of Anarchist violence in the 30s that led to things like the Inheritance Tax, now repealed. Up until Reagan it was possible to live reasonably well and even raise a family on a minimum wag
