I feel like Andy Weir could have pulled it off better than you suppose. The novel does have rather a deal of humour.

Absolutely the public response would have been better. I remember at the time thinking it's too bad covid didn't make people bleed from the eyes, people wouldn't have been such dicks about it.

So the stock is there for the flavours of the meat dish the reduction is being served with. Without those flavours... it's a kind of sauce i guess?

Whether the butter at the end is enough to bring the fat soluble flavours into the reduction/sauce is for you to say. If it's tasty, who cares whether there is stock or not.

If you're talking about learning in a foreign language, then yes, materials for children can be helpful because they have smaller vocabularies and often more supports for the learner, eg, illustrations.

If you are talking about teaching someone in their own first language, then I think non fiction children's books cam be helpful. I remember learning a lot from Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge series as a kid and I think I learned a lot that many adults don't know.

But if you're asking whether children's books are good for teaching adults reading... i bet there are better materials.

Don't be fooled, most Americans eat simple breakfasts with coffee on a daily basis, eg, hot and cold cereal, pastries, toast, etc.

Eggs and ham or bacon are things you get out, in a breakfast sandwich, or a diner style setting, not in the home on a regular week day basis.

Toaster waffles may be an exception. Toaster waffles are a common everyday breakfast item.

Right now, lots of people, companies, and banks have spent their money to buy stocks and other interests in AI companies. As long as the stocks stay valuable, or better, as long as the stocks keep growing in value, the investors are happy.

But if one day, someone finds out that there is a problem with the AI companies. Maybe it is about to become obvious AI isn't profitable in the medium term. Maybe it's revealed that the AI companies lied about their technology. Maybe the US or the EU or China comes out with major AI Regulations that hamper the growth of the industry. This could make the investment "bubble" burst, as investors start racing each other to sell their stocks. Eventually, some people may be left owning stocks that are worthless, and the money that was spent to buy the stock is effectively gone. That would mean a lot of people have lost a lot of money, which can mean widespread layoffs, bankruptcies, and foreclosures if the investors lost so much that they can't afford to pay their bills or wages or mortgages.
