If you want your sea-dwelling life to migrate to land, stable yet powerful tides that regularly wash the aforementioned sea-dwelling life ashore surely are a plus.
For plants and for animals that would feed on them.
I think you got it backwards; life started in the sea, so there would be nobody to feed upon the first creatures that were washed and/or moved ashore.
Plants went ashore to avoid being grazed upon, then followed the grazers to graze without competition and without being preyed upon, and the predators were last to follow to prey upon forementioned grazers without competition in those new hunting grounds.
Plus, the buffer zone exists anyway because oceans are turbulent- my guess is tides would not be that crucial.

The officers were unable to stop the 300-400 or more peaceful protesters of all ages, who included local people.
During the protest organised by the Belgian Field Liberation Movement (FLM) – an informal collective consisting of farmers, scientists, consumers, and environmental activists
Peaceful local farmers, scientists, people of all ages? "Terrorists" and "a bunch of assholes"?
And you get +mod insightful? Insightful indeed, gives great insight as to why the USA is the way it is.
Please excuse the backwards people in Yurop for their ignorance and audacity- how dare they place anything before property-
If you want to get technical, media-style, then they are activists- by your own standards. I mean by your media's standards. Which is, sadly, the same thing in your case.

Maybe because most of Apple's target group is no what we colloquially refer to as "computer people"? As in (dramatization follows);
(Granma): Hey 'ya all, I got me one of thems fancy Apples!
(Uncle Bob): Lemme see.. Pert neer, but not plumb, that there ain't no Apples! Looks darn lot like one, though.
(Granma): Ya recon? And that know-it-all on the store didn't speak up at all- next month ah'm in town, a gonna havta open up a can a' whoopass on that know-it-all boah in the store- some Mr rocket surgeon he thinks he is!
.. then Apple, Amazon, and a multitude of other legitimate services would have failed.
Well, those already have an established client base. Plus they also deal hardware, plus most of their clients are in the USA where, apparently, the penalty for downloading a song or two is incarceration with rapists, killers, drug dealers, and the like.
So if you are just starting your little business now, it IS going going to be harder- unless people are willing to buy it so some of the money ends up to you. Which is something they do in Scandinavia, out of respect for other people's work.
Finland is not considered that much scandinavian, but still, notice how they are actually telling the truth about it; i.e. not "it is immoral", "DRM this and that", but actually "this will stop my business from making money, and I want that money".
Simple answer; By looking at numerous similar objects, each being at a different stage on its order-of-billion-years life, and by assuming the laws of physics are the same everywhere (and everywhen).
.. and write the MPAA and tell them I'm okay with them rewriting the law in whatever country "bleble" lives in.
Oh but they are trying to- they are really doing their best, as they do in the USA. And so does Microsoft and Apple. But they keep missing the fact that Sweden is a sovereign nation, and not an American state, and that it is rather immune to that kind of lobbying mainly because its population is being encouraged to think for themselves from an early age.
Re:Regular salt - it contains potassium-40

Testing Geiger Counters

· Score: 5, Insightful
one milligram of potassium-40 should give you 263 decays/second, and so on.
You have a good idea there but all these are rough estimates. The actual counts would depend on the distance from the source (in effect the solid angle), the instrument's sensitivity, the source's geometry and other stuff I may be forgetting.
I have done instrument calibration (as a student, not as a lab manager, so I am not an expert by far) on both Geiger-Müller counters and solid state detectors. Calibration was mandatory before the actual measurements took place. Even in laboratory conditions, with experts running around and helping out, point sources and 0.5mm accuracy on distances and the like, let's just say that they turned out to be not the easiest instruments to use, and people where ending up being off (but not way off) in their estimates for the actual activity of the radioactive sources.
Furthermore, there are different 'types' of 'radiation'- alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons. Depending on your counter/instrument, you could measure on or more of these; also there is math to be done afterwards; some instruments (like G/M) measure just 'counts' (the event when a particle 'hits' the detector), others can give more detail. And you need to do some math afterwards, unless the instrument itself does it for you.
My punchline; its use is not trivial, it needs some training (not impossible, though). In times of need such as these I would assume that the few instruments that find their way to Japan would be put to much much better use if they are delivered to experts.

it would make no sense at all to sue Facebook because of what that person said
Oh, but it would; sue the company, and you make it their problem-
I am not saying it is right, but I do not understand your comment since this happens all the time, and all around the world; see blog hosting sites, streaming sites, torrent linking sites, file sharing sites... EVERYBODY does it, they always go after the first person they can identify, and that will usually be the hosting site.

I suspect because of autostereoscopic 3D in the horizon and all.
Okay, maybe not 4k, but something close to that; effectively one gets half the resolution that the screen would be physically able to deliver in the non-3D case.

did they just pluck that number out of thin air?
No, what they pluck out of thin air is what "advanced life" is. Unless they mean "life as we know it".

Maybe, but he cannot cash it in in Hell. Which is where he is probably going, for harvesting souls like this.
