Land based plants exist in an arms race between access to sunlight and water/nutrients. They have to physically occupy two separate areas. In contrast, water based plants only need to occupy one location, the water closest to the surface. Since there is no evolutionary advantage to starting to grow tall, water based plants don’t grow as tall.

Seaweed grows large, but it doesn’t need the kind of rigid structure trees have.

Damn. I didn’t know what brown could do for me.

And he does lift, bro.

I git my name put onto a credit card as a kid to help do things like buy groceries. After I went to college, parents had financial issues and the credit card that my name was on didn’t get paid. My credit was great except for non payment on that credit card.

So, yeah. It can be better if the parent doesn’t have to open a credit card so that a kid can buy things which require a tap and cash isn’t accepted.

The UK’s privitizaton model was crap because it mandated service and only allowed operators to compete on price paid to the UK government, ensuring that all operators were lowest bid and trying to spend the least money on running trains.

Divorcing running trains from maintaining track seems to work better on price since railroads owners are more incentivized to have more trains run on their tracks to gain revenue. However, this system seems to only be tested on rail systems with competent rail operators, which DB is not.

I do think that divorcing owning the tracks and owning the trains is something that should be forced on American rail companies.

How is this more expensive than the Slate?

Yeah, but when Brian McManus from Real Engineering made a video which somewhat defends Kurzgesagt in their issue with YouTube, it shows that the filter issue isn’t just a problem with Kurzgesagt.

People have assumptions of what correct communication should be, and it generally has a minimum page length instead of minimum content amount.

The worst cases I’ve seen is when they’re trying to convince someone of something verbally, they get the agreement very quickly, but get stuck in convince mode rather than moving on since it shouldn’t be that easy.

Yeah, especially as a lot of the criticism of the war rightly falls to the civilian leadership making idiotic decisions on how to fight the war.

The technology for scan while you shop is already a decade old. The problem is that you’re still going to have to deal with publicly seen pricing signs which will make personalized pricing outside of coupons impossible.

Part of it was illegal, part of it was that their way of doing business pushed people away. Suppliers didn’t want to negotiate with Walmart and workers generally weren’t desperate to work there.

It will be impressive if they can surge price in a store. You could do it right now for delivery apps, but I don’t know how you can do it in the store.

Part of it is greed. Part of it is that television and physical media subsidized a lot of streaming’s content and now that money is gone. There has already been a collapse of some types of movies and TV shows because the economics that led to their golden age are no longer there.

Netflix used to get streaming rights for pennies because production companies made their money through other sources. Now those income streams are dead.

Yeah. The issue isn’t with the youth, but having lazy coworkers who aren’t a personality fit.

More that RNJesus? No.

Silicon Valley kind of encourages maximalism. Companies are expected to grow and it is hard to grow beyond the monopoly you’ve built for yourself.

Also, not everyone is willing to take the deal where you go retire with your ballerina wife to go become a wildlife photographer. Some people like being a businessman.

It is generally cheaper where I live because towns have to build affordable housing and it is considered more acceptable to have poor elderly people than poor people with children.

I’m talking about kids texting each other.

But now I have to potty train my pet rock.

You would need to make them dumber/more controlled. A dumb phone with unlimited texting is still going to be a distraction.
