If you want it to be useful for the economy and industry in order to warrant funding, I've got news for you:

The majority of modern encryption relies on prime numbers. It is currently speculated but not known, that the number of prime numbers is infinite.

Should it be proven, that there are only a finite amount of prime numbers, all encryption would become vulnerable.

I don't think that scalable and profitable are goals of indoor farming. It's done for self sustainability.

In the cited study with buckets, it was shown that striped and spotted surfaces attract fewer flies.

That makes me think if Nguni cattle Nguni cattle have an easier time with those pests.

If yes, that would be another plus for hardy landraces in place of overengineered, capitalmaxxed breeds.

It's highly unlikely that they adopted the British system.

The names for "floor" or "story" stem in many languages from the way houses were built in antiquity and the medieval period. Brick or stone walls for a base house that could be updated with wooden floors on top. Or variations in material, whatever.

The baseline is, those words come from material reality and exist in many languages and cultures and are not adopted from English.

The island of great Britain was highly uninfluential in antiquity and the middle ages.

Nononononononono, the two WWs are fundamentally different and should not be conflated, because that cheapens the horror of the NS regime/ third reich.

It's just a joke. NAND isn't a software, it's a bit operation (Not And) so 1001 NAND 1010 = 0111

It's technically a "piece" of a software and is necessary for any addition and more.

Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.

They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.

I don't know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.

Btw it's only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.
