There seems to be a huge assumption that when a species is exposed to higher than usual temperatures they'll be a collapse of said species. Certainly this holds true for some species, but all species? I'm a little skeptical. Basic

There's all this talk of "this is what the virus unchecked leads to, so we can't let up". I'm not suggesting we throw up our hands and attend tightly packed concerts. I'm suggesting we stop pushing for an R val

Well, that's I ask about duration the food supply will last. If you have a 1 week supply, then yeah, don't dip in. If you have a 3 month supply, then I'd be a little more open to it (personally). I'm pretty much fine wit

People like to razz on it for being a free market, but it's really a gov. backed oligopy.

There's actually a really nice documentary on Netflix about pangolins. It's mostly a black market for being able to eat them. They are mostly being poached/smuggled/etc.

The whole point is that you don't need to download a big payload just because you haven't used it recently. There are two ideas that go together well: * The app can work offline * The app doesn't need a server to function Nei

The pedant in me says technically the name of the virus "SARS-CoV-2" but lots of people are referring to the virus by the disease name of "COVID-19". Maybe that's why? The pragmatic side of me says "Yeah, what
