Nope, objectively harmful things are being accelerated at an exponential pace and being well aware of them leads to no meaningful responses. It's a race to the bottom.

Onko nyt hyvä aika ryhtyä sellaiseksi ameriikasta tutuksi preppaajaksi ja ostaa tarpeeksi säilykkeitä useaksi vuodeksi ja aseita pienelle kylälle?

No mutta jos Suomen laki kieltäisi ydinaseiden maahantuonnin, ei Venäjä voisi laillisesti niitä tänne ampua.

1. säädä satulan korkeus siten että lantio ei heilu

Nyt kun politiikkaa perustetaan scifi-klassikoihin, pitää myös valmistautua kliseehen: kun maapallo tempautuu galaktiseen sotaan, suuri ydinasevarasto osoittautuu yllättäen hyödylliseksi.

Looks like a fundamental study and approach ... Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature. Insects at high elevations utilize plasticity to cope with rising temperatures, whereas lowland species have limited plastic abilities. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🌐

Joo, en ymmärrä miksi koko dubai on tehty. Olisivat öljyrahoillaan voineet esim. kaikki muuttaa Norjaan

The contractors should make stockpiled missiles a subscription service, then they could make continuous revenue streams without the need for the missiles being used.

This is a reasonable hypothesis. We can never truly falsify this.

Man cereal could make sense, there are special foods for neutered pets too.

But if you replace alfalfa farms with data centres and give people ai slop and vegetarian diets, you'd have a net win and it would be whataboutism to claim that there could be vegetarian diets without ai slop.

I agree. Even when I was a biology freshman 23 years ago, we were very keen on taxonomy, but it was not seen as a viable career, which of course was mostly true.

This is figure 2, which shows global diversification dynamics of six diverse butterfly families.

What if also the money spent on lawns would be diverted to supporting native biodiversity.

Täysin mautonta ollut reportaasi. Muutamaa suomalaista pelottaa Dubaissa, pensan hinta ja talouskasvu vaarassa, kun sosiopaatti Trump pommittaa mittavasti sisäpoliittisista syistä ja Bibi ihan pahuuttaan. Kiva että se Khamenei saatiin hengiltä, mutta se olisi varmasti onnistunut vähin ääninkin.

Mine doesn't have any. I think they expect the case makers to add them to the front I/O in a cartel to make otherwise good cases from 2009 obsolete.
