I cannot comprehend how this guy is favoured 52-48 to win.

I’m sure other people have brought up rich people taking a huge share of it already, but there’s also the sheer number of people determined to work in the arts. If there’s, say, ten billion dollars to go around, it sounds like a lot, but if it’s split between a couple of million artists it doesn’t go very far.

As well as spreading and planting seeds, clearing competing plants, and providing water and nutrients.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet, wheat covers more land area than any other plant.

I evolutionary terms being edible to humans is quite useful.

Plus, rural folks are not major emitters, so it doesn’t really make much sense to even try to find meaningful emission savings there.

“On average, cities and large towns produce about four tonnes of CO2 per capita, compared with more than six tonnes elsewhere in the UK”

“between 1.5 to 3 gallons per mile”, for those wondering

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I’ll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, “if you’re explaining, you’re losing”.

They’re both problems.

And that becomes a vicious circle as more children are driven to school, making it more dangerous to walk, so more are driven…

Fission is based on the fusion that took place in ancient supernovae.

I guess he’ll be campaigning in Point Nemo then.

It comes down to the tragedy of the commons. It’s unlikely to make a difference if one person does or doesn’t vote, but with a lot of people it can. Which state it is just changes how many people it takes.

Because she barely lost in a few crucial states. It would have taken fewer than 80,000 nonvoters voting for her in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to flip the election.

If it doesn’t have a large social media campaign it doesn’t exist.
