They are not excluded, it's just the the number of people is used, not the amount of money

For Harris, yes. For Biden: just "not anymore". Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.

Bolivians don't need CIA approval to plot a coup

I'm pretty sure they'll do increasingly farcical votes for some time after.

That's a short but touching poem.

Electric cars do charge when braking. Obviously the energy recuperated is less then waht was needed to drive that fast in the first place. Using driving wind would just increase the energy needed to drive that speed and would be net negative.

NDA, not BJP, got 293 seats

Not really, many many more people are B12 insufficient than there are vegans/vegetarians. And much of what B12 you get is because supplements are given...to the animals. See e.g. https://baltimorepostexaminer.com/carnivores-need-vitamin-b12-supplements/2013/10/30

And here I am with 35 days, which we're expected to take.

I did, and enjoyed them!

Popped to mind immediately upon seeing the word Portia

"Made unusable": that's not how it works. Even with occasional vandalism, there's so much more people positively contributing, that overall the map just keeps on getting better and better.

While we should absolutely use our backyards to make some space for nature, there's going on more than this. Even in nature reserves, insect counts seem to be going down. Last I heard, it's still not entirely clear what's going on, but probably related to certain types of pesticides.

Ancient AI proven

It won't, but at least you're not part of the problem anymore. You might inspire other people to. And every person who goes plantbased makes it more politically viable to enact policies to encourage plant based over the most destructive other foods. Try to avoid discouraging people who try to do the right thing, help them make a bigger impact instead.

Didn't they have 3% economic growth last year?

Read till the end. About 50% on foot and 30% with public transport.

I get the reasoning, but not a single country has ever been kicked out of the UN for having crazy/terrorist/genocidal leaders. So why should having a palatable government be a criterium to join? And anyway, I thought Hamas only controls Gaza. The West Bank is larger, and has a slightly larger population, and it is controlled by Fatah (AFAIK). So the seat would likely end up under Fatah control, no?

I don't know, there's lots of things I would risk doing at home that I wouldn't try on a spaceship. It's also a metaphore that can hopefully speak to the kind of people who think a fresh planet would be the solution.
