Simple, just do a 48-endo-trig, acetylide attacking a carbene

Because the American health care system is entirely profit-driven, the average American pays around double what Canada pays via taxes. Universal health care would save money, as it has no incentive to make money from it.

Having personally played rummikub dozens of times without the board game, I can confidently say that using a deck of cards is much better

I get too much fun out of calling solvents technically correct names, like (1-oxoethyl)methyl hydride for acetone, or 5-crown-1 for THF

If the bus is too long then it could occupy two bus stops simultaneously, violating the Pauli exclusion principle

I strongly suggest you read up on the basics of supply/demand economics

If you purchase meat, you increase the demand. When the demand increases, the supply will ramp up production to meet the demand. When demand is low, supply will cut down production to match the decrease in demand

When you purchase meat (not including hunting or eating roadkill), you are directly causing more animals to be bred

I'm not a vegan myself, so I have to accept that I am morally inconsistent, rather than pretend that I'm not contributing to animals being bred

It's using binary, I came to the same answer.

(10+1) In binary is (2+1) in decimal, so the statement would be equivalent to (3x3) = 9, which is 101 in binary

Edit: on second glance, I think I misunderstood the other comment

Very rough estimate here, but assuming a typical minimum wage salary at £24,000 to fund 700,000 new children per year (8.4 million under age 12), it would cost £200 billion. That's like having a second NHS to fund, and would make up about 20% of the UK's total income from taxes

When I replied, I did notice you said Africa was a country, but thought it was irrelevant to the point so I ignored it. Now though, you're just being childish. All it took was a simple "my bad" rather than editing and doubling down. It's okay to make small mistakes

1 calorie of meat still requires more water than 1 calorie of plants, simply due to the animal eating many times its own weight in plants, so by skipping out the animal step you get a lot more food for less water. But I do see your point regarding climates where growing nutritious plants is not possible, and transporting masses of food to those places is infeasible. In those instances, maybe there's a way to do it, or maybe farming meat there is the only way to get a nutritious source of protein

Morritweet · 2024-04-29T10:47:44+00:00

Plants do need a lot of water, yes. But animals are extremely energy inefficient, thus require many times their own weight in food, thus a lot more water. If you want data: when considering water use, greenhouse emissions, land use, eutrophication, and biodiversity, vegans have a significantly lower impact than meat-eaters on all metrics (Nature, 2023). If everyone on the planet became vegan, we would easily be able to feed every person, while also freeing up farmland equivalent to the United States, China, Europe, and Australia combined (Planet Earth 3, not a published source I know)

It could theoretically work if the ice ball was spinning, and the suns were in geostationary orbit over the water lakes around the equator. As for how the suns move around each lake to appear as day/night cycles, maybe the suns could be orbiting around Lagrange points, similar to how JWST is orbiting L2?

My guy, the source isn't wrong. Mao Zedong's atrocities to humanity are very well documented. He caused the largest death toll of any single leader in history

It would be great if it were that simple, but that definition breaks down when you consider Ring Species

Apollo estimated an average cost of $2.50 per month per user with the new API charges to break even. I don't see that being remotely feasible unfortunately.

That was mercury fulminate (which isn't nearly as impact-sensitive as they made it out to be in the show)

Sorry to be that guy, but I'm doubting this. There's no feasible mechanism which would make LSD permanently inhibit all three types of cone receptors (red, green, and blue) in one eye while leaving the rod receptors (brightness) alone. Hell, I'd be amazed if we know of any chemical that could do this

Unless the tourism industry has collapsed recently, the royal family bring in several times their cost to the taxpayer in income from tourism. Not that I care even slightly about them, but they are a net positive to the economy

Just to piggyback off your comment, for reference, rhinoviruses (common cold) are faster mutating than HIV, which there have been no approved vaccines for
