It's not reasonable to expect people to strike without a union. If I refuse to go to work and my coworkers show up, all that happens is that I get fired. You need an organization to get everyone to agree not to show up.

It is. It's also skewed by young marriages. Couples that marry before the age of 25 are twice as likely to get divorced as older couples.

I worked for a company once where the employee manual said that I was not allowed to set off fireworks in the office. I really wish I knew that story.

Reply to comment by TIGHazard in TIL that actor Red Foxx was only 49 when he starred in Sandford & Son. He wore makeup to look older. by SaltyDogBill
In 1971 on an episode of the Dick Cavett show, the guest was Jerome Rodale. Rodale was a health guru who claimed he was going to live to 100. During the interview, Rodale slumped back in his chair and made a snoring sound. Cavett allegedly quipped "are we boring you Mr. Rodale" only to find out shortly afterward that he was dead. The episode never aired and the tape has never been made public.

It isn't really a religious conflict. There are two groups fighting over the same piece of land. The groups are identified by different religions but they aren't fighting over religion. A similar conflict was The Troubles in Ireland. It was Catholics against Protestants but they weren't fighting about religion.

People really like that board game for some reason. It's decent, but it's no Mouse Trap.

No but he is out there doing crimes. It's a bit weird considering that he's a real person. My GTA character has murdered more people than most drug cartels. It feels weird that he would want to be my friend.

It's a fairly recent addition to the game that was added last year. Dre appears in the content and actually voices his own lines.

It's a series of missions in GTA online. Dre's unreleased tracks are stolen and the player has to find them and get them back. This is unsurprisingly accomplished through auto theft and murder.

It could also be doing its job perfectly. It reads a bunch of signals and points out the ones that look weird. A human then examines these signals to see if there is something to be learned from them. This is useful since we're constantly being bombarded with radio waves from all over the universe. Having an AI sort through them and tell us which ones are interesting is a good tool to have.

Reply to comment by spideywat in Shouldn't goldilocks zones shift over time? by LaRoara42
There is the panspermia hypothesis. The idea is that microbial life could somehow be ejected from its home planet by something like a meteor impact. So you have a rock floating through space that contains a dormant single-cell organism. It floats around space for millions of years until it eventually lands on a planet with a habitable atmosphere. The organism evolves over millions of years and eventually, the planet is covered in diverse life forms. That could have happened on Earth. While this theory is interesting it doesn't do much to answer the question of the origin of life. It just passes the buck to somewhere else in the universe.
