I hired a plumber last month to hook up a washing machine. It uses garden hose connectors and could be done by a ten year old - except in my case I could not get the old hose off without extensive force (putting me feet against the wall and pulling with both hands. And if something was going to break (pipes in the wall were banging against each other as I tried to get the old connectors off) and potentially flood the house, I did not want to be the one who did it.
The dinosaur asteroid was 100Teratons of tnt. If all 24,000 bombs that are in existence were 50MTons (most are 20ktons), it would add up to about 1.5teratons. Hardly a planet killer.
Shackleton and is crew lived on Elephant Island off of Antarctica for a couple of years with zero farming, supplies or natural materials other than rocks.
Civilizations have a lifespan of about a thousand years. Mathematician and historian Spengler wrote a book on the subject in 1918 and traced the arc of all the civilizations that came before us and predicted that western civ has about 200 years left.
Perhaps it's all around us and evolved to be so intelligent that meaningful communication is not possible. Other than stepping on it, how would you communicate with garden snail?
These are two of the conditions that contribute to increased risk for overweight and obesity:
It is well-documented that inactivity increases the risk of overweight and obesity, and that the risks are reduced by regular physical activity (NNR5, 2014).
While foods with low energy density are often rich in fibre and water (such as vegetables and many types of fruit), foods with a high energy-density often contain a lot of fat and added sugar.
I don't want to be a manager, I make a much better engineer. The more I'm involved in governance, the less time I have to devote to other things that may have a better ROI. Isn't that why we have division of labor?

is not a surprise
Then you should be prepared for it. Almost everyone I know in engineering has a least one backup plan.
very little of that ...
It's there if you want it. If you don't, then don't complain.

If 98% of your coworkers are giant assholes, then maybe it's you.

That was the first matrix. It didn't work out so well.
That's what we used to call little Wiggy. Ludwig Wittgenstein.

The ‘Dark Ages’ were a lot brighter than we give them credit for
That leaves only 70million people. Hardly enough to survive.
precisely 0 extinction events
Neanderthal were a species of human.
The world ends not with a bang but a whimper. When enough people decide that they don't want to live anymore and give up.
Nuclear war wouldn't do it. All the bombs in the world would no come close to the dinosaur asteroid.
Major civilizations could be cyclic

Mainly the increase in processed foods
Is that the same reason they're getting taller?
And tell them that they should shave off all their hair so as not to harbor mold spores.

What about 5 watts and a rotating yagi?
