The yanks were sending supplies to the UK. Without it the brits would have run out of food, oil and ammo.

It was called Lend Lease

I think because of German uboats hunting in the Atlantic. They were attacking so close to the US coast there were cases where ships could be seen exploding and sinking from Manhattan at night.

It was the German uboats sinking US ships that was a factor in them joining WW1.

That is the link you posted.

It is going via google and allows tracking of everyone who clicks it.

If Japan had never attacked the USA, it would never had entered the war.

The USA did not declare war on Germany after Pearl Harbour, only Japan. It was Germany that declared on the USA.

Both of which is totally understandable.

The USA joined the allies because it was forced to, not because it decided to.

Well, if the snake manages to reproduce, then eats itself, the genes for eating yourself after reproduction get passed on.

TLDR: you actions have a must smaller effect on evolution after you have reproduced successfully.

The doctors at the hospital where this happened were also doing autopsies and would often go directly from an autopsie to the delivery ward without washing their hands.

The midwives did not perform autopsies.

It was not that the midwives' hands were especially clean, it was that the Dr's hands were very contaminated.

In the average day, a person breathers out 500 litres of co2 in a day. So approximately 20 litres per hour.

There is no way that amount of plants is converting that much co2 back into oxygen,

If this rig is air tight, all this person is doing is slowly poisoning themselves with co2 and lack of oxygen.

But even with this resolution passed, the UN does not have the ability to enforce their decision.

So the countries that voted either way knew it was an empty gesture that would not change the situation on the ground.

Those that voted against the USA got to appear righteous without having to actually do anything.

Those that voted with the USA reaffirmed their loyalty to the USA without having to actually do anything.

Every UN delegate got paid their wages and got to sleep safely after the vote while achieving nothing.

The USA was not humiliated, it was just another day of improv theatre at the UN.

Pretty much yes.

If a friend/partner promises to change their behaviour or do something specific and does not? Yep, that is a lie.

There ARE things where you can't "bias" your way out of it, things that are objectively correct and incorrect.

There are still people who believe the world is flat.

The things you believe are objectively correct and incorrect are not the same for everyone.

That is the problem,

Reality is not the same for everyone and many people believe they have the right to enforce their version of reality on others.

yep. The bigger the sub, the worse it was.

You would get some niche subs were there was some decent discussion but once one passed about 100K subscribers there would be a noticeable downward spiral.

Not surprising really, humans haven't changed in that time.

Most people don't want the correct answer, they just want their preconceived biases to be confirmed.

First you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have sentience. (the ability to experience feelings and sensations)

Next you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have potential. (The inherent ability or capacity for growth, development, or future success. )

Then you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have agency. (the capacity of individuals to have the power and resources to fulfill their potential.)

Then you would have to find a group of chestnuts that have all of the above but doing nothing to reach their potential. While also ensuring that there are no impediments in their environment or upbringing that are constraining them or holding them back.

Then you could, credibly, accuse that particular group of chestnuts of being lazy.

what happens to them at the end of their useful life.

When the gun buy back happened in Aus after the Port Arthur massacre they were just melted down and the steel was sold for scrap.

Isn't Godzilla minus one the sequel?

and wait till Apple complies with the EU order

I thought the EU had determined that iMessage will not be subject to the open messaging provisions.

iMessage will reportedly dodge EU regulations, won’t have to open up
