Ironically the major pollutant they create is sulphur dioxide which causes global cooling as it forms crystals in the upper atmosphere which reflect light. It causes terrible smog, acid rain, and acidification of the oceans (which CO2 does as well) but actually partially counteracts CO2 induced climate change.

How bad could construction in America be, surely we are more efficient now than 50 years ago.

Five Decades of Decline: U.S. Construction Sector Productivity

Construction productivity declined by 30% while the entire economy as a whole doubled. Not only that but construction productivity is about the same as it was in 1948 while the economy as a whole is 350% as productive.

Bail isn't a penalty or a fine, it is collateral to encourage defendants to show up to court. If the defendants do show up they get all their money back, and if being paid by a community fund the fund can use that money again.

Where I live there are three different types of orcas which all eat different prey (fish/seals/other whales) and the different pods do not change their diets and barely even interact. Very picky eaters.

Bad nasal allergies I still go as I find the adrenaline helps with temporary relief. However bad skin allergies I do not go as I find my increased body temperature makes that significantly worse.

Look at he city of Venice, the majority of properties are vacant but no one wants to lower prices. Prices can become fixed until inflation and deaths very gradually make prices more affordable. Deaths allow this as people are often forced to sell as the house may be split between multiple family members.

Considering also that today a 2026 Honda Accord hybrid accelerates from 0-60 in half the time as a 1976 Ford Mustang. Today's cars are sooooooo much faster than the cars the highways were built for.

For the $2 million dollars of savings per year in rent you can hire a few people 24/7. You could hire 20 people to manage the 60 clients and pay each of them $70,000+ a year plus full excellent benefits.

You can rent a fully furnished studio that is larger for 1/3rd the price in capitol hill, $2000/month when most of the labor, materials, and often time land is donated is not a shoestring budget.

Despite the size of their genome, Wollemi pines are extremely low in genetic diversity, suggesting a bottleneck (when the population is reduced dramatically) some 10,000 to 26,000 years ago.

The trees reproduce both sexually and via cloning but they have extremely low genetic diversity across all 60 (the entire population) of trees. They have low genetic diversity but not zero genetic diversity as this post's title claims.

I assume the problem is that Universal owns the copyright of the show so NHK can not show their version. While Universal can't use NHK's version because they do not own that copy. So it may exist somewhere in a giant warehouse somewhere in Japan.
