Oh I have lol
It's funny that evolution would help solve some ark mysteries.
Like how did Noah fit one of every animal on the ark?
Well there weren't that many different types of animals when Noah existed and the ones he saved evolved to get all the animals we know today.
Dinosaurs would have been extinct for millions of years, even in the time of Noah. It makes sense that he wouldn't put them on the Ark.
Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn't shipping all theirs in without a tariff.
But a sable genius once said. "What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate."
This was in reply to the question "How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?".
I think you can apply the same logic here. "What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate."
Depends on context.
This is the same idea as answering the phone with "Talk to me" which is generally from a pompous arrogant character.
Like "I'm here, what do you have to say?"
Why didn't they make it like a vertical mouse? Having your arm bones twisted the entire time is not good and one of the leading causes of carpel tunnel.
Yep
If another country can ship corn to US and sell for slightly cheaper than US produced corn. US corn farmers suffer.
"Free Market" says that US consumers benefit from the inexpensive corn.
But what is good for the consumer isn't necessarily the best for the corn farmers.
What's sad is Trump wasn't talking about corn. He was talking about John Queer tractor equipment. If farmers could get inexpensive electric farming equipment from another country, US farming equipment manufacturers lose money. Who's against right to repair? What company has spoken up the most against it?
Electric farming equipment. You mean like on a farm where they could drive for miles and miles harvesting and still end up fairly close to your starting point? Probably could do charging station check points and rotate multiple machines.
Absolutely crazy
Noise reduction in buildings have come a long way. Anyone living in an old apartment is going to find it more noisy.
but it's hard to then build the services that this many people need
The idea is that there are the same amount of people on the island.
Island 1 might need 2 small schools to serve the top and bottom of island.
Island 2 could put one large school in walking distance of living building.
One large school is much cheaper than multiple smaller ones.
Same with things like fire stations. You only need one around the living building on island 2. One station on island 1 might not be in range of all the homes.
You are not thinking about the large picture.
Renting a tiller and throwing down some clover seeds is cheap compared to a lifetime of lawn people.
Just like with your first comment. Yes things break and are expensive, but you're not throwing ~1500 a month out the window renting.
You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma
Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.
It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don't donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.
When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.
If you didn't compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn't do it. They currently need more people to donate.
Plasma "donation" is a good thing.
Intent
Was the picture taken for sexual intent?
Security camera taking a video of a topless 15 year old intent was not produce a pornographic image.
You as the security guard saving the picture of later...your intent is to make it sexual.
Now if you saved the picture because you needed to figure out which store the topless 15 year old was by. Your intent is to not make it sexual so that would be fine.
