I'm certainly willing to be corrected, but as far as I can tell from some brief searching, indigenous populations that exist in the region today aren't living some nomadic life out in the wilderness either. They're living in

If this is the case, they probably outright do not want you as a customer. Significant sales (beyond for excess stock clearance/discontinued items) exist largely to generate some excitement from potential customers and to lure them in

Sorry, but no. This does not pass the smell test in the slightest. This is: - A single author paper with no academic affiliations. - A search on the internet for this author finds them also pitching essential oils and a wide variety of othe

Tough economics to imagine attempting to effectively gather mulch from in between the trees when we're talking areas so remote they often aren't even harvested for actual lumber and are a huge distance from the nearest power plant

Your cause/effect doesn't have all that much truth to it with regards to rail. German rail has been an under-invested in mess since reunification, it's a long slide not a recent one. They are finally investing the kind of amo

We tried "preventing forest fires" for about a century, and it's a large part of why they're burning so intensely and destructively now. Forest fires are a natural part of the life cycle of many forested regions - partic

Cigarettes kill about 480,000 people in the US annually. Lung cancer isn't the only kind of cancer you get from smoking cigarettes, and cancer isn't the only way it can lead to your death, so it seems very strange to only pay at

Such as? Word hits the sweet spot of having support for all the complexity the average person may encounter/want to create. Libre, Apple Pages, and Google Docs all seem like clearly worse tools in most aspects in my experience. LaTeX i

USB 3.0 powered hubs that give you more USB 3.0 supporting USB-A ports are pretty easy to find these days. USB-C ones (that actually give you more than 1 additional USB-C port) are still more challenging, but they do at least exist now (a

Iceland is an independent country, although I suppose it is involved with NATO. But I think you may be thinking of Greenland (which is a territory of Denmark).

I would expect most would cite a thought process more akin to "I'm a safe driver, have never hit a pedestrian or cyclist before, and don't expect to in the future, either." for why they aren't swayed by this warning

Seems reasonable if you want to be connected to it. The grid costs a significant amount of money to build and maintain, and maintaining the available capacity to serve you electricity even if you only use it a couple months of the year (or

I can't see any realistic way that the ergonomics would be better than your haphazard hotel room setup. Reality is that the device still has weight on your head and neck and is still kind of tiring to wear for long periods of time. It&

Just to remind, the mobile + desktop lines are not the same thing even if they both get the same branding. The top end chip in the 2019 MBP was the i9-9980HK, which had a TDP of 45W. Would have been reasonable in a chunkier workstation&#x2F

The Mustang is from before modern safety laws (and feature expectations) and therefore weighed a lot less than your average modern car. A stock '66 Mustang hardtop had a curb weight below 3000lb, in the lightest configuration close to

There's probably an outdoor outlet on the deck/balcony it's plugged into. Would be pretty typical to have on a balcony like hers. The balcony appears to have full coverage on the railing - there isn't a gap at the bottom
