With biodiversity already diminished, the ecosystem would take even longer to recover from something like this. For example, Horner theorizes that dinosaurs were already in decline prior to the Cretaceous extinction event. All nonavian dinosaurs went extinct in that. So by analogy, instead of merely most animals larger than a human going extinct as we're doing now, perhaps nothing but rodents survives as far as mammals go.
A buffered system isn't immune to change in pH, it just is more stable than one that isn't buffered. Do you remember titrations in chem class? The scenario detailed in the linked article involves the buffering capacity being exceeded, at which point further climb will be linear and unconstrained by buffering.
I've always thought that the idea that conception was a singular moment in time, easily defined, and not itself a process with a gradient was interestingly wrong, too. People like black and white answers but when you look at the details there's always gradients everywhere.
Yeah messing around with Glassdoor and what I told it my current salary was, I was consistently between 3 and 5k under what I was worth... I imagine this is to keep me checking in on job postings that'd pay me "what I deserve". I suppose I didn't keep going to see if it would eventually tell me I was overpaid... perhaps I will try that next.
Good on you for making your own clothes but how would they get absorbed through the skin? If they're that small I'd expect any lodged in the outer skin to get sloughed off with all the regular detritus your skin traps and sloughs.
For the "all inclusive" resorts, part of the relaxing atmosphere is that you don't have to carry money with you. If tipping was allowed then you'd end up tipping for better service instead of just always getting the best service. After dealing with the borderline aggressive solicitation for tips elsewhere in the Caribbean it does actually feel more relaxing not dealing with any of it.
Had a funny exchange in college about marketing slogans. I spilled some hydrochloric acid on my Dungarees and when they dissolved upon being laundered I emailed Lee to ask about the "Can't Bust 'Em" slogan they were using at the time. They wrote a surprisingly length and polite response explaining that their slogan was not an implied warranty but instead represented the "indomitable spirit of Buddy Lee" and that my only recourse would be to try to return them to the point of sale.
I know people that can't tell SD from HD at all. The folks with 'younger eyes' that can probably are watching on a tablet and don't care so long as the stream doesn't require buffering.
Ren had been gutshot with a weapon they'd gone to pains to show tossing around stormtroopers like they were ragdolls earlier in the film. Rey would've won the fight if she managed to just not be killed for long enough.
My wife just got one of the Garmin Fenix watches. Very expensive, but apparently it can go a whole week on a charge. The old Forerunners are nice in that you can forget them in a drawer for months and they'll still be ready to go when you get it out.
Yeah when you're learning about buying a house and discover that title insurance is a thing that exists and why it exists you start feeling better about all the money you're spending on those experts.
This is a credit agency, though... more or less anyone that is capable of getting credit will be in there, so this undermines the whole way we borrow money if everyone can be faked easily. What other information can we give to identify ourselves, and if we come up with some other information to hand over, what when credit DB V2.0 gets hacked?
Yeah, nothing against Marvel films but $1.50 at Redbox to view it once and that's enough for me. The kids want to watch the Disney movies often enough to buy the damn disc so no sub for them, either.
Ha, I was referring to some study where the people responded to a blinking activity light and not whether the radio was turned on or off. I think usually they fail to respond if it is obvious the device is off but who knows...
I've read that you can slowly acclimate your microflora to increasingly rancid meat. But you see the same with, say, the life expectancy of a well cared for dog vs a wolf.

As with many things suggested on Slashdot these days, that's a Black Mirror episode... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Like a thermostat?

A pen nominally allows more uninterrupted creativity than a quill and inkwell would, but mostly they get used for jotting down the grocery list.

Yeah... they might be effective in the manner that billboards may be, but they're only getting clicked on in Chinese scam farms or whatever.
Yeah maybe look to use this methodology in the water treatment plant instead...

Same deal all over, pretty much any "all inclusive" resort or cruise is going to have a policy to fire staff that accept tips.

What self-identifying information might be required to activate or lift a credit freeze that isn't already compromised?
How often do you try to contact the ants that live in your neighbor's back yard? How often do they try to contact you?
Or get it from the library for free, etc etc... lots of ways that don't involve a monthly sub.

Ooh good call, they'll totally do that even if they don't admit to it...
