Reply to U.S. Streams Are Drying Up. Data showed that in the South and West, streamflow droughts got longer between 1951 and 2020, regardless of threshold. Worse yet, droughts in these regions are becoming more intense by Wagamaga
They appear to be drying up in New England as well.

Reply to TIL strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries do not qualify as “berries” as defined by botanists, yet kiwis, bananas, and tomatoes do. At least blueberries are indeed berries. by Aequitas05
The number of people in the world who care what botanists think is a fruit is likely to be only marginally greater than the number of botanists in the world.

Reply to [OC] Suicide Rate vs GDP per capita for various countries. Notice that the upper right triangle is almost empty i.e. generally increase in GDP per capita results in decrease in suicide rates. by ankuprk
And yet rich people will insist that money doesn't buy happiness. Well, it buys food, housing, education and health care all of which make it a hell of a lot easier to be happy.

Reply to comment by Svitii in [OC] How does Man United ⚽️ make money? by giteam
That is what the Glazers would have you believe. The fact is that they are accruing huge future profits in increased franchise value. They "bought" the club in 2005 for about $1.5B. It's current value is about $4.6B. So they are getting a 7% annual rate of return in franchise value. They are now earning more than $300K annually in franchise value.
