  • You're thinking too small. Base 60 (Sexagesimal)..the Sumerians had the right idea.

  • Early cooperators do...they have a lot to work through, and getting low hanging and low value fruit to roll on the orchestrators is important

  • I didn't see this in the story. Do you have a source? I read that they agreed to not more than 120 months (10 years).

  • There is so much that is unfortunate about this. First off, another person dead because of guns. Second, there is so much news and uproar because she was a young white woman. This is undeniable. Third, in looking for statistics on stray bullet incidences, I found that there is no official tracking in the US.

    I found a study of 2008 stray bullet incidents, including deaths from combining news reports. In the year, they found 284 of 501 unique reports of different incidences that met criteria injuring 317 ppl (almost one a day). Of these, about 20% died, and most injured were at home, not aware of any gun violence. Suffice to say, each statistic is a person just like her, and their deaths are all needless tragedies brought on by gun culture.

  • That and a business model that essentially ran every mom and pop shop out of business

  • Knock knock...

  • I'm not going to argue with your sentiment, but your above arguments are either weak or factually wrong. This doesn't help your cause.

    A less then 10% increase in health risks is really a deciding factor, particularly against a cultural and dietary staple to many.

    As for beef production, time to slaughter is often between 6 to 8 months, and not years.

  • Don't want to dampen their spirits

  • FYI, unless I'm mistaken, that is spaghetti junction and it's not actually in Atlanta, but just northeast of it in Doraville

    Edit: I was severely mistaken...

  • This just feels right

  • That's weird...and so is the flipping

  • This is actually welcomes news.

  • The use of biomass rather than fossil fuels, if it can be scaled up is carbon neutral. The biomass grows from CO2 in the atmosphere.

    Yes this will take about 60% of our crop land to completely replace fossil fuels (including cars), but this is completely doable if we reduce grain production for livestock. Source: https://esa.org/biofuels/presentations/Auyeung_poster.pdf
