Human eggs are about the largest single cell humans produce, about 0.1mm in diameter.

But human eggs don't provide nutrients to the fetus, they grow the placenta to do that. So over all the entire process would have to change to something probably impossible. Consider the ostrich lays the largest egg now, and ostriches are larger than humans. Humans that would need a far larger egg.

The math just doesn't work for humans to have a hard shell egg.

Efficiency lowers demand, which lowers prices, which should create opportunity for expansion and higher demand. Except prices have been rising, profits have been rising, and real energy investment has been flat. And you can see it across the entire western economy, not just the US. It's great that we've been moving to clean energy, the problem is that we're doing less over all as a civilization.

Think of it this way, fusion power is about to be an actual thing, making cheap clean energy on tap for the planet. And we're just going to sit and watch it glow, because no one can figure out what to do with limitless energy.

Efficiency is great, but should make energy cheaper, leading to more usage. Again especially with a growing population. Dropping energy usage means costs increased despite efficiency, or they decreased and there was no productive capacity to put that energy to use. Either way it's bad for the country.

The US has had flat energy use for over a decade now. Which is great as far as emissions go, but honestly is extremely bad as far as civilization goes. Separate from energy prices or emissions, overall usage is a measure of overall activity. If our usage is dropping while population increases, then we're dying as a civilization.

An improving situation would be increasing usage, with decreasing carbon emissions.

Very rarely. Most of the people like this feel repulsed by the suffering of others, not moved to empathy. That's the broken part of them that makes them right wing in the first place.

She wouldn't care, they weren't her kids.

Turns out the guy that killed him was an asshole.

It's both a money grab so rich bastards can feed on government money, and a way to segregate schools.

Where is he getting the money to pay those buy outs? Along with not paying what congress told him to, he's now spending money they haven't given him?

Half dozen is plenty really. In recipe's it's supposed to be 3 quail eggs to replace 1 chicken egg, it's really about 2.5 just rounded up. With a family of four and a dozen birds we have egg breakfasts 2 or 3 times a week in the summer, down to every other week in the winter. We'll probably expand the flock a little this summer, bigger cage plans once I can figure out how to keep them as safe as they are in the shed now. Just found out rodents can spread bird flu too, so building requirements just got tougher.

And how many rape cases were filed?

It's made me a lot more smug about having our own quail.

He'll put our troops in harms way, let them get blown up, then scream for vengeance for the atrocity he staged. It got us into WW2, it'll get us into WW3.

Destructive forces tend to create their own counter. They are only temporary, and since the best revenge is a life well lived, build something that will outlast them.

You have to be a lot more violent to get pardoned for hurting the regime.

You're still worried about fair elections? The concept of elections is on the line right now. Setting up the fights on Panama, Greenland, and Canada, is about making sure the US won't stand against Russia/China, and no one else is capable. At that point, there won't be any more elections by the people. Just the oligarchs that agree with dear leader.

My only protection is that prevailing winds tend to put me upwind of likely nuclear targets for most of the year.

True, but also what he wants. It gives him the excuse to use the military, or refuse to use it to defend an ally. He's looking to break NATO and the EU. Leaving nothing to stop Russia, and most likely to help attack directly. Greenland is a forward staging area for the US to attack or even just threaten NATO countries. Even if he doesn't get it, the fight creates opportunity to draw resources away from Ukraine, helping Russia. Also creating the situation where the US is isolated with aggressors all around, making the case for martial law and canceling elections. That's the goal, shut down democracy, and lock in authoritarian rule.

The tariffs and visa crap don't matter to Colombia, the banking sanctions could be serious. As in serious enough to cause other countries to react. Probably not for Colombia alone, but if he thinks that's a weapon to use, it's going to get used against us in worse ways.

Just bought a dozen today for $4.59
