If you're going through a small airport, or hopping on a plane at an FBO, there are not long lines and invasive screenings, you just identify and go

many species of mushroom cant be identified just by looking, spore print is a necessary differentiator for many species, and as the article notes, for some species DNA sequencing is the only way to be sure.

Exactly the point: fashion is /meant/ to be unobtainable.

You can calibrate navigation to visual landmarks, i.e. you can see the turn coming up and match it to what you see out your window. But you also still get an overhead "what lies ahead" map for planning your route further out. Th

These things don't have names they have descriptions of how they work. But I see your point that some of them are described only in reference to another movement with a more complete description.

have you considered that closing the straight may be one of the primary objectives of the war?

1) I didn't say it was anyone's "fault" 2) Politicians are behest to the same biophysical limitations we all are. An aging cohort that is done producing but not done consuming is a recipe for sticky inflation. Your rep

US bonds are a safe haven because the world’s oil supply is locked up by US warships.

Yes demographic shift and bubble economics, this much is true. But Japan is hampered by constitutional restraint of their armed forces, the United States economy (infamously) enjoys much broader support from intelligence and military. Jap

You gotta get over it. Generative AI is here to stay. People will use computers differently now. Were houses crafted better before dimensional lumber and power tools? Maybe - they were also more expensive. So the same with programs and

Your argument sound remarkably familiar. Humor me: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory.“ -Socrates, on writing. From Phaedrus Secondary
