    How many websites around now are pre November 1995 when the HTML2.0 standard was released.

    "HTML has been in use by the World Wide Web (WWW) global information initiative since 1990. This specification roughly corresponds to the capabilities of HTML in common use prior to June 1994. HTML is an application of ISO Standard 8879:1986 Information Processing Text and Office Systems; Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)."

    That must be why the made it illegal to use the phone while driving, because it's so safe.

    I appreciate that people see bonus maps as tangible and durable and that their scarcity is artificial. At least they aren't a monopoly. Choice is real.

    E.A. are consciously trying to reduce the value of goods in the resale market of that there is no doubt. I don't see it as much different from offering a year's free car insurance with your brand new Ford Focus. And they don't bring new models out every year for the fun of it. It's partly to make second hand cars look old and unattractive.

    That claim sounds pretty b/w to me.

    Yeah, were under no evolutionary pressure. The world is in stasis. There will be no more pandemics like Spanish Flu that wiped out tens of millions of us a couple of generations ago.

    1 company, 50 million pounds of meat per year

    "The 52 million pounds translates to about 200 million meals in the coming year."

    Four pounds of meat per meal sounds a lot to me, I suppose that is raw weight, bones etc.

    Lets pretend that 200 million Americans eat meat such meals twice a day.

    52000000 * 2 * 365 = 737960000000 pounds of meat per year in the U.S.

    500lbs of meat on a cow, lets pretend its just cows

    75,920,000 cows

    2lbs of meat on a chicken

    18,980,000,000 chickens

    The truth lies between the two, don't forget to add on the other 95% of the world's population, I'm too lazy to work the rest out.
