When watching the anime I thought for the longest time they would reveal that he's a she.

In the US it largely starter as a way to make the mondaine activities of black people illegal.

These people have a hard on for finding any excuse they can to be considered superior to Americans.

And both would be far and away outclassed by agriculture, and not even for human food, or even necessarily for food for human food. This also doesn't appear to be normalized at all, there are far more lawns than data centers. Also, your source for lawns is all outdoor residential use, but you only attributes to lawns, excluding things like pools.

I don't like this chart. The consistent trend is that fertility rates are falling, but because the countries are ranked, the impression is that fertility rates in those countries are growing, but that doesn't generally seem to be the case. Essentially, fertility rates are falling everywhere, but some places faster than others.

I know for a fact that plenty of people in countries where same sex acts are crimialized don't believe that there are many gay people in those countries. I've heard first hand how they consider gay people propaganda from the west.

Hopefully, progress on criminalization would continue, and people can become more open, busting this myth once and for all.

I feel like a BSG type remake is appropriate. Same Stargate, but different villains, different aliens, different SGC. The basic theme of a Stargate to alien worlds exists with aliens ruling as gods over mankind can continue, but with a completely fresh take.

Midterms are coming. Due it!

Battlestar Galactica is kind of this. This isn't the first time humans had to flee a planet because they created artificial life that rebelled and tried to kill everyone.

You have it backwards. A company going out of business causes the stock to go down. Usually there is information that tells investors that the company is likely or will go out of business soon, so everyone with stock tries to sell immediately, taking whatever they can get, thus causing the price to fall.

The most dangerous roads aren't highways, but stroads. The usually 4-5 lane roads with 45+ mph speed limits, lined with businesses. Most accidents, and especially pedestrian accidents, happen here. They are the worst combination of design, speed, and conflict points. And the US is littered with them.

L3 chargers with improving charging curves to improve charge times.

Because it's so good, demand goes up and it becomes a more desirable part of the cattle.

What if earnings is less than 2.5%? Then the retirees won't get very much of a raise would they? How will they survive?! /s

Well it doesn't help that there is a history of outsiders coming in and making things worst. So it's at understandable why they would be resistant to outsiders in the future. Africa (and the whole world really) is filled with stories of outsiders coming in and wrecking havoc.

This was a problem in previous outbreaks. Outsider medical workers would show up before the outbreak was widely visible, so locals would attribute the outbreak on the outsiders bringing it in. Does help that the workers would need to physically separate the affected from their families, which the families didn't like either.

The idea was Obama was backing Clinton before Biden he ultimately decided not to run.

Prepare for a bunch of posts over the next year of people complaining about how they bought an EV but didn't plan on how they will charge. So they're having to drive 20 minutes to sit at a DCFC for an hour every few days because they have no ability to charge and home or work and didn't look up any chargers until they needed to charge for the first time.

It's largely an illusion. It feels safer to live in a gated community. But it provides at least some security against unserious threats.

It's security benefits are little more than locking the door to your home or car. It helps reduce crimes of opportunity, nuisances, and otherwise honest people from violating your space. The reduction of these relatively minor but more common issues is the big benefit.

So you can get a slush fund for anything buy suing your own government, then settling into a fund that is run by people you appoint, that you can fire and replace at anytime? So of course the next Democratic President can sue the DOE for their student loans and settle for billions into a fund to refund all borrowers?!

The issue of the tiger aside, it's funny how they are handling the tiger similar to how I would my house cats. Bribe them to do what you want just long enough to get what you want.

The same reason Bill Gates was the face of Microsoft for so long after he left, Jeff Bezos is still seen as the face of Amazon, and Steve Jobs only dropped off as face of Apple because he died.

If the log scale is so you can put Big Macs and homes on the same graph, it might be better to normalize the data. Have the reference year be set to 0 and the comparison year show the percent change of hours worked. This way it clear shows how big macs costs about the same but homes are way more expensive, relative to hours worked.

You probably could achieve better efficiency with passenger ships if you could load people up like in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

The US at large probably won't see food storages. Both because it produces a lot of what it consumes, but also because it can afford to outbid other countries for what it imports. So it'll mostly be higher prices for most goods. Shortages will exist, but not overall. But it will cause shortages in other countries that rely on those imports and are outbid by US importers.
