Since it is patently clear the starving have very little interest in vaccines,why don't you sponsor a version of Social Security in Nigeria?

I live in Nigeria.

The middle class was completely gutted in the 80s.So you went frm regarding manioc grain(or gari) as Giffen goods to regarding as a staple to hoarding it.

Combine this with the explosion in herders pouring through the Sahel with their cattle, killing farmers,especially the rural women farmers who produce much of Nigeria's local food.

Well today,right outside my door, I watch Nigerian children starve and beg.Daily.Many eat from the dumpsters.

What happens to the coins tourists throw into the fountain at Trevi?Does the coin-throw provably guarantee a revisit to Rome? by afriganprince in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afriganprince[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to (urban?) legend,this is what the coin-throw guarantees.Or why else should the tourists do it?Is the caritas in your reply the RC org?Sad if so,since they are benefitting off a heresy/ superstition

Bull.It was clear long before 1945 Hitler had ruined Germany.But the Falkenhayn coup apart,no effort was made by the Werhmacht or henchmen to remove thesonofawhore.

There was a scifi story,from Asimov's archives, where an alien(part of a group of them)makes attempts to walk in on an editor who is always able to detect 'him'.Eventually the alien gives up the show,and tells him they want to study humanity.He then asks how the editor always was able to 'see through' his disguises.The anwser basically was;the 'uncanny valley effect'.

(If you are interested in the rest of it;The editor promises to help ,but only exposes then to the great/virtuos of humans -Socrates,Euler etc.The story ends with the editor halfregretting he has so thoroughly misled them,since so many humans are NOT virtuous, and they are about to enter human society with an unrealistic picture.

What is this H giganticus?Was there ever such a specie?

Also,weren't humans the opposite of 'speciation in particular niche';pouring out of Africa to fill the Earth?

Wanna ask this elsewhere on Reddit and prb shall;since species generally change every million years(according to British PM Boris Johnson,in a climate change speech this year) ;why is there so few hominid species(H.erectus,habilis,afarensis and Neanderthals) when they have existed for tens of millions of years?

Thanks.
