I think they meant that if the students hadn't told the company, they and their classmates could have done their laundry for free.

for the vast majority of the history of money it was based on a commodity that was valuable in its own sense.

True, but using grain or tools as a currency would make the modern financial system pretty much impossible. Even for simple banking, you need something small and light like gold or currency notes.

A true state backed cryptocurrency used interchangeably with physical cash could be quite useful.

What advantage does this give over a simple digital currency?

Indian students studying in Canada might hurt India (it's complicated), but it definitely benefits the students.

Of course the Chinese built a railgun. Bet they also called it Biribiri.

Global warming won't affect India as much as most parts of the world. Changes in the monsoon, on the other hand …

It's from India, and the percentage of Indians who are libertarians is a rounding error.

It would have been scarier if he wrote 'I've learned to drive in Bengaluru'.

OP said nothing about influencers though?

What OP said is Motoo Kimura's Neutral Theory of evolution. There's a lot of evidence supporting it. The vast majority of mutations have a negligible effect on fitness. So it is very possible that something may evolve purely by chance.

Only thing I can think of is gravity, no?

They're not talking about the stuff in the universe being finite. The space itself could be finite, for example by looping back on itself. Tthe usual comparison is to a circular track - you can drive as far as you like on it without hitting an edge, but you'll eventually come back to the point where you started. Now scale this up to three dimensions.

That would imply there's something in the middle that keeps everything from straying too far?

Even if we're talking about a system held together by gravity, it does not need a central mass. The overall system just needs to be dense enough that each piece is stabilised by all the others.

Mozilla is a nonprofit.

In your current situation, it would probably not be a great idea to have a cat dependent on you. As someone else said, you can try volunteering at a shelter (if there is one) or feed street cats (if there isn't one).

As for how they think, cats love food, and most like being petted. However, they are very shy animals, so unless you want to get scratched, it is better to let the cat come to you. Feeding them, sitting still, not speaking loudly, and slowly blinking at them can calm them down.

The majority of cats like to be gently stroked on the sides of the face and the neck, and do not like being touched on their bellies, feet or tails (unless they've known you for a while).

If you are the only person feeding the cat, make sure to include some meat or fish. Adult cats should not be given milk, chocolates, spices or too much salt.

The sun powers the water cycle.

What's wrong with seedless watermelons? Are GMOs forbidden by Christian law?

Shit list?

'Liberal' is one of those words that has so many definitions that it can have contradictory meanings. It can mean 'open to / tolerant of'. It can denote a style of education that tries to be broad rather than deep. It can describe various political positions - the 'Liberal Party' is left-wing in Chile, centrist in the UK and Canada, and right-wing in Russia, Japan and Australia. This is also what OP is memeing about. At this point, to avoid confusion, I would just avoid using the word except in the purely academic / technical sense.

and to then wash your hands with soap.

The grossness is because it might not clean your backside as thoroughly as water.

The US needs us (India) more than we need them. And they know it. Most likely they'll impose some symbolic sanction on a little-used item to save their reputation, and then go back to business as usual.
