That question makes no sense in terms of this discussion. The heat death of the universe means that there is no "after", just as there was no "before" the Big Bang. The actual concept of time does not exist (at least in

Humanity has existed for 3x10^6 years (give or take), which is 1 x 10^-72 of that time period. We don't need to worry, it is highly unlikely that humanity as we recognize it will exist.

Sure, worthy of investment, not necessarily philanthropy. Not part of the Gates Foundation mandate. As for your personal interest, have you explored the availability of university research positions and/or grants? Your lack of funding

Except pretty much all printer drivers these days can down convert from letter to A4. Margins on left/right might be skinnier, but length wise US letter fits.

Not only that but C envelope sizes match the A size. So an A4 piece of paper fits a C4 envelope flat. A4 folded in half (size of an A5) fits in a C5 envelope. An ISO standard that makes sense and isn't based on different professions li

I really don't understand (from Australia) about this fear and hate of globalism. The capitalist globalists have done what capitalists do, search for the lowest costs and the lowest quality that continues to sell for the highest price.

Calling the Guardian "far left" shows your biases and where the Overton window is in the US now. The rest of the world is basically telling the US to fuck off. You'll get the message eventually, when it will be too late. Good
