There is gold everywhere, but yes, fault lines are a great way to find certain kinds of gold deposits. If you want more information on why gold ends up where it does, I highly recommend a series of videos put out by the Sprott Group on ore deposists.
Right now I'm carrying a fair amount of extra weight, but even when I was trim my temperature preferences were the same (I took the swim at the skinniest point in my adult life when I was buying shirt to fit my chest).
It wouldn't surprise me if I had one or more of these mutations.
I find temperatures above 21C unpleasant. In December, I slept a couple nights in -25 temperatures in a -12 rated sleeping bag and was perfectly comfortable. I rarely wear a jacket above 0. I've taken a 45 minute casual swim in 10 water in nothing but shorts and felt a little chilled but fine (though it was sunny).
But I pay for it in the summer. Once it hits 23 my brain slows down. Around 26 it completely shuts off. I've experienced temperatures up to 40, but I'm glad those days are rare.
It's easy for me to overheat. I went on a winter hike in -15 weather and ended up getting moderate hypothermia -- because I left dressed in a "normal" amount of winter wear and sweat my clothing through. I was steaming. Thankfully I had a change of clothes, and two hours in a -7 sleeping bag got me warmed back up to normal.
People think I'm weird for enjoying -30. But I'd much rather have that than 30. I still find it odd that much of the world lives in near-constant 30 and find those high temperatures comfortable.
It's not exploitation if people choose to work those jobs, i.e. they consider working the job better than all their other options. It's not just the wage they make: it's a lot easier to work a job than to build a business, and that's why so many choose to work jobs.
Growing up at 54Â N, the "daylight" colour temperature setting on monitors never made sense to me. The closest to daylight was 9300K. It never made sense until I spent a week in LA one January and saw that the sunlight really was 5800K orange when you are that far south.
I'm Canadian. If you make $90k, your marginal tax rate is most likely over 40%, plus the property taxes, the sales taxes, etc., from enjoying your earnings easily push your marginal rate over 50%.
You do realize that some of the best grain growing areas in North America are in the Peace Region of northern Alberta? It's situated about 500 miles north of the US border.
West of Ontario it's not all trees, rocks, and water.
Even in the Canadian Sheild there are pockets of amazing top soil that are currently unusable because the growing season is too short, such as the Clay Belt in the Cochrane District of Ontario.
The shift northward is happening. Ontario and Manitoba are having record corn harvests. The corn belt has shifted.
Our early attempts at a tractor beam went through several preparations. Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working tractor beam, which we shall call... Preparation H.
The majority of cattle are fed grass for most of their lives because it's cheaper. Sometimes grains are used through winter when there isn't hay available, and grains are also used on a supplemental basis for more rapid growth. It's usually when they have about six weeks left that they're shipped off to CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) where they are fed grains to fatten them up. Many (most?) people prefer the fattened meat as it's sweeter and more tender, and the price paid for the animal is by the pound. Grain fed cattle are usually raised through one winter. Grass-fed only cattle usually need two winters to reach the more profitable sizes.
Industrial meat production, I agree, is very inefficient. Harvesting and shipping food to animals makes no sense from a sustainability standpoint.
But if the animals are pastured, they do all the work, and no inputs are needed. Why pay anything to harvest a field when a cow will do it for free? Proper rotational grazing practices will restore balance to ecosystems, increase soil quality, increase water retention, and vastly increase land productivity.
Ruminants are also far more efficient at digesting cellulose than humans, and humans are very efficient at digesting meat.
1) Austrian economics does not predict when an event will occur, just that it will. It is so good at predicting future events many Austrians fail to realize non-Austrians don't share the same foresight. This lack of foresight of the non-Austrians leads to them behaving in irrational ways (according to Austrian theory), which in turn delays the arrival of the predicted events. The biggest weakness in Austrian economic theory is that Austrian economics is built on the premise that man is rational, which is not always the case.
2) Many economists have established their careers on other schools of thought and would have to admit they were wrong. Also, economists who advocate a role for government are popular with government and keep their government sponsored jobs.

Gitr done!

There's a bug in your code: I think you meant && not ||. :-)

Yeah, but when the government takes at least half every dollar extra you make, is it really that much better?
Don't burn natural gas either. Have you never seen the yellow haze of nitrous oxides emitted by natural gas plants?

Thank you for your enlightenment. I always find your posts insightful!
What about the Go language as a replacement to C?
NetBIOS. The protocol is the joke.
No, it's from Austin Powers in Goldmember.

These stories always have an armful of puns.
That's one record that's sure to fall!

12 years ago was 2000. A great x86 chip back then was a 1.4 GHz Thunderbird Athlon.
To go back to a time when the Pentium Pro was the best x86 consumer chip, you'd have to back to at least early 1996, or 18 years ago.
Yes, time does fly.
Hey, I can't help that I'm an object oriented guy.

No, but I have some land on Bajor!
