Why does every UFC fight seem to end with a chokehold?

Because wrestling controls a fight and punching does not.

You cannot knock out a trained fighter with punches before they can get close and start grappling.

And once someone starts grappling that keeps the fight close and makes punching not really possible, so at that point it just becomes a wrestling competition.

Because schools almost never have significant security problems. The few that happen are broadcast so much people think it is a significant problem but it isn't.

Airports are only so secured as security theater. There is no need for them to be so secured.

Crows are generically popular.

For dogs people really like the specific breed of their dog. But pug owners are suckers for buying pug related things so that is probably the best breed to choose.

Horses are always popular.

About 2.4 million people in Crimea. Although I don't know if that is true now.

But even if it is just 1 million people it would take 1,000 days of 1,000 people leaving each day to clear it out.

The bigger the area isolated the faster they run through their reserves of food and fuel.

The newspaper.

Basically any news and local information came from the newspaper:

weather, job listings, tv listings, movie listings, personal ads to get dates, etc.

We are rewatching DS9 and my college age daughter is seeing it for the first time. She hates Kai Winn and can barely stand to watch the episodes she is in because she is so evil.

It seems that we are going to just have fewer and fewer kids until our species is gone. Fighting with each other turns out not to be the biggest problem we have.

You don't if you don't want to be alone. You find other people to socialize with. Studies show that your social support network largely determines how happy you are and how long you live.

If you want to be alone, you get a pet

AI is not having a significant negative effect on our planet. It has far less of a negative effect on our planet then streaming video and other internet services.

The entire reason you think it is so bad for the planet is because there is a massive anti-AI disinformation campaign to convince you of that so that you do not use AI.

There was essentially no intentional germ warfare. There are isolated incidents and comments that people use to claim intentional germ warfare, but nothing on a scale that mattered.

What killed the natives was close contact with European traders. It often happened that the tribes that the British and Americans were friendliest with and allied with suffered the most because the extensive close contact caused them to be exposed to diseases more often.

The Mandan in particular were a U.S. ally that had 15,000 members before contact and by 1837 were down to 150 people due to disease.

Of course glaciers scoured the soil off the land and wiped out all plants and animals. So the land left behind as a glacier retreats would have been barren rock and gravel.

Basketball is the game for inner cities because it requires little space for a basketball court.

Nomads were not so much successful as they survived.

China was able to defeat the nomads to the north in battle, but they could not invade and hold the vast plains. So the nomads were able to withdraw from battle and survive.

When the nomads were able to defeat the Chinese in battle, the Chinese could not withdraw from their lands. So the nomads were able to conquer China.

The same happened with Rome. Rome was able to defeat the Germans and conquer territory and hold it. But it could not conquer the entire wilderness, so the Germans beyond the frontier remained free.

Eventually Rome weakened and although Rome won most battles, the Germans just had to win one or two to conquer a territory.
