Along a similar vein (though not diatoms), I must recommend Art Forms in Nature by Ernst Haeckel.

> And in the context of massive trade deficits, so what? I was thinking more in the context of consumer inflation. Countries tend to go back and forth in a tariff war, effectively raising taxes and lowering incomes for their citizens.

Well, it's been helpful to us for a few years. Unlike in the Seinfeld episode, NVC isn't about "bottling up" or keeping your emotions to yourself. It is explicitly the opposite: all about communicating unmet needs and fi

Hard to say exactly what you're dealing with, but you could take a look at Nonviolent Communication.

There's certainly a degree of luck regarding a dog's demeanor though. I have a BC / Beagle mix and started training her with treats: she's highly food motivated! Eventually I realized she also loves to please - and reaso

I don't think it's "witch hunting people for wrongthink" to suggest that those in a position of power are able to use that power to influence public opinion. Especially when that position of power is the CEO of a browser

Why do you wish you had written more? To have a window into your past self?

Of course if you're buying a 14" Macbook Pro, the upgrade to 2TB will cost you $400. Or $1,000 if you want 4TB (on top of the cost of upgrading the processor to the Max chip - necessary for that option.)
