Umm... how many testicles do you actually have? My guy used like 4 tools tops, and I hope he reused them because thats wasteful as hell.

The exigencies of this circumstance were depicted in the show "For All Mankind" on AppleTV. Season 2, Episode 1.

I got stoned once with some really good upper 20's percentage THC weed. The specific terpene combination eludes me right now, but it was double digit mg/g for at least two of them.

Anyway, I then made the mistake of pondering the concept of a star. Then watching one of those you tube videos on the scale of the largetst stars. OMG, I started to freak out, imagining a star that gained a sentient menace; waht would that even be like? Imagine those crazy large hypergiant stars going full Sith, looking down on our Sol like...

"You think you're a star? That's cute. I'M A FUCKING STAR

"BBBBBWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHNNNNNN"

It doesn't need to be nuclear, it could be solar or wind, which, at the proper scale, make use of alternative battery topologies such as flow batteries.

Cubans in Florida vote Republican, who are the anti-illegal-immigration party. I guess this is totally legal, right? Right?🤔

And it's a lot of work filtering out the garbage, because algorithms foist whatever there business model wants upon you inspitenofnyour best efforts. Facebook has this problem too, however.

Yes. So much so that they tripped over the moral hazard of spending the windfall on the VR boondoggle.

I think they need to recognize that the platform itself is not the value of the offering, it's all the people who participate/provide content. Because of this, there should be a minimal expectation of massive returns. Why should the people providing the value do the paying to support high returns for billionaires?

The platform only fails against the weight of unreasonable expectations for high margin returns from minimal value added. Private ownership should able to filter out these unreasonable expectations that primarily come from the rent-seeking investor class aka Wall St.

Operating cost cuts are fair game to increase this margin, but not at the expense of reducing the quality of participant submissions, which erodes the value of the platform if not protected.

"Hubris" projecting much?

One problem I noticed right off the bat with your critique is that scientific discovery can proceed in the opposite direction as you assert.

OP has laid out a hypothesis based on an actual physical/mechanics phenomenon. Just because he hasn't done the next step in testing the hypothesis mathematically doesn't mean it's not useful for discussion.

Hypothesis first: Check Mathematical proof: step 2 Experimental validation: step 3

Responses like yours, with snide dismissive comments like this are what demotivate people to push on to the next steps.

The reduction in terms of % is of limited use, because the baseline use for the red countries in absolute terms is far lower than the blue countries. On a per capita basis, the red countries are likely still far below the blue countries which show larger percentage reductions.
