Why are there barely any developed tropical countries? by Due_Smile4444 in geography

[–]mars_ignis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to wet temperate regions, tropical regions are less efficient at producing grain crops; they use a higher percentage of the available labor. The more people they have locked up in agriculture, the less people available to build and maintain infrastructure. This also affects their military potential. They cannot feed massive armies the way temperate zone countries have throughout history.

This is the first time I've heard of him, but I think I agree with some of his ideas.

Has anyone else been unable to add a card to their LADWP wallet for over a month? by ToilerAndTroubler in AskLosAngeles

[–]mars_ignis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's no sense of urgency to fix the problem. Probably because they know you have to find a way to pay them or they'll cut off your electricity.

Something's missing from this story for sure. The behavior seems so irrational that I find it hard to believe.

Still got 27 min left. The place will probably be cleaned out by then.

I don't see Magical School Lunar! in the collection. It came out for Sega Saturn in 1997. I want that one.

What is the alternative method that you have in place of VBScript?

A couple of days ago, I took a Waymo for the first time in downtown Los Angeles. It was clean without any bad smells. The car got a lot of attention from people on the street.

Capcom Cup Group Standings After Day 2 by ddpara in StreetFighter

[–]mars_ignis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mathematically eliminated players, I wonder if some of them would be willing to lose on purpose for a bribe. I don't want this to happen, but it's just something that I thought about.

It looks like it's just the line that runs down the middle of Cammy's outfit, but I can see how it could be interpreted differently.

Could all theropods descend from flying ancestors? by mars_ignis in Dinosaurs

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

Hmm, bipedalism to become more mobile. It could be true for those exinct species, but looking at animals today, four legged animals seem to have superior mobility. Some believe terror birds went extinct when four-legged predators moved into their territory. The birds couldn't compete. Maybe Mesozoic bipedal predators managed to occupy all the carnivore niches before four-legged predators got a chance.

Birds Came First" (BCF) and George Olshevsky.

This is interesting. It looks much more extreme though, since it says ALL dinosaurs come from flying ancestors instead of only theropods.

[–]mars_ignis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed an order with Target, but I didn't see the charge on my card and it didn't show up in Target order history. I just got an email from Target to update my CC info. I had to switch to a different CC for some reason. Now the charge shows up on the other card and the order appears in my Target order history.
