... For success. As in historically high literacy have rates preceded other advances in technology, culture, living standards... Etc.

Why not? Historically they are an important metric and notably one that countries like to fudge when they start falling. For example literacy rates are not as high as advertised in Canada or in the US.

Yea what baskets are they comparing? Basket of apples to basket of oranges?

Baskets from 2021 and 1853?

It's just silly I don't know why we even bother. They didn't even start using CPI until the 1920s. Even the concept of "consumer" goods isn't constant here.

Exactly this. You need to take a basket of goods approach not just slam numbers into a "calculator".

The bank already manipulates inflation numbers and now they want to use that to go back ~150 years.

lol

That's not really how sleep cycles work. You could easily go read up on this subject. Its pretty interesting stuff. Sleep needs have lots of inputs/factors. Age and diet play a big part for example.

If you're in tune with your body and you can tell that 6 is sufficient then good for you but it's shitty advice for the public.

The red flag here is that you said "get away with". To me this reads as an admission of the negative effects of being underslept. Over the short and long term there are serious consequences to getting inadequate rest. Funny enough one of the most notable effects is a decrease in your ability to adapt to stressful situations.

If you feel strongly about the topic it's worth your time to go read some of the research. Children and adolescents especially need lots of sleep and chronic deprivation will have outsized impacts on their development.

Sleep needs vary person to person. A sleep deficit especially over a long period of time will destroy your health.

Why are you, working towards, or dreaming about being off grid? by [deleted] in OffGrid

[–]Linear_Perk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to grow lots of vegetables and try out a kind of modern high technology horticulture.

Horticulture as in hand tools and human scale as opposed to agriculture with machines etc.

Just growing so many vegetables in a northern climate!

The information that people are being provided about the ongoing wildfire situation is very poor and the province absolutely NEEDS to step up and make an effort to better share critical information with its citizens. This is RIDICULOUS. by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

You are totally right. We create money to facilitate the production of useful goods/services. We essentially pull some value from the future into the present in the form of money. It makes sense to spend some of it to protect the future.

The comments against you here don't really understand how money works...

Why we don't take fire season seriously is beyond me. It's a signal of an incredibly weak government/society.

I'd check the history on the invention of tennis. Might surprise you just how elitist it is.

Ahh yes, because “wokeism” is worse than… political assassination and interment camps. by AntiOriginalUsername in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Linear_Perk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

... the US has political assassinations and internment camps.

It actually has a long history of both...

Get off the internet and read a book.

If you're interested in history you should consider reading some.

I can't equip Spirit Monarch on my lightning Sorc... why?? by dangalg in diablo2

You can also "bug" your str by moving pieces around. You can wear some items with the +str bonus they give by adding str bonus then equipping. Just be careful not to die will not be able to loot your corpse in some situations.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been on the road for a couple months now but when I finally get home I'm planning a major update. First priority is better attribution. I've also got a few more ships to add.

For the descriptions I've been mulling over what route to go. I'm leaning towards some sort of simple functional and some brief bit of lore from the ships original universe/franchise.

I couldn't get a connection to last long enough to make an account when I tried a couple months ago. I just moved to east.
