It's a strategy straight out of MBA textbooks: Once you're above a certain size and have a large "common consumer" base, you kick out everyone who would complain about shitty practices and exploitative behaviour. Then you squeeze out all the money you can over a year or three before the rest realize and leave.
It's fast ROI at the cost of customer retention and long term profits. And investors literally don't care if the company goes bankrupt as long as they get that money. Because they'll just move on to the next company and do the same thing all over.
I always hate these comments, and this is a whole new level.
Acclimatization or acclimatisation (also called acclimation or acclimatation) is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment (such as a change in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH), allowing it to maintain fitness across a range of environmental conditions.
Are you basing that statement on a source or do you have some information on that? Or are you just guessing based on your own emotions, over how you wouldn't do that?
I always find it funny to read about how much it's the public who wants America to be a "leader" and not a "follower" and keep resisting the change. Meanwhile metric is in widespread use across the country. Most science and medicine is done in metric. NASA and the US Military are metric. Most soldiers knows how long a "klick" is, which is literally just slang for kilometer. Every car mechanic can show you exactly how much a centimeter is, since the 10mm wrench/socket size is burned into their memory.
And because of the global trade market, a lot of products that are also meant for export is manufactured in metric
Not to mention that when it comes to conversion it's so much easier that US students are in some cases taught to convert to metric, apply that formula and then convert back(like calculating work) since it's so much faster and easier.
The modern version of a pizza is sometimes said to have been invented in the late 1800s, since that is when the first "proper" recipe is from. But there are a few key points that might inform your question and other answers:
Flat bread baked with toppings already on it has been a thing for several thousand years across the world.
Among which was a type of street food referred to as pizza in Italy before the Tomato arrived in europe
Tomato is from the Americas, it wasn't known and didn't exist in europe until the mid 1500s.
On its own a fresh tomato is not very nurishing compared with other common fruits and vegetables, and since toxic versions exisited, it was mostly used as table decoration in places like Italy for a while.
The first mention of tomatoes as an ingredient in an Italian cookbook is from 1692. And it wasn't widely adopted as a staple food until the 1700s.
There are descriptions from the mid 1800s talking about the wide variety of pizza toppings, as it was already an established food by that point.
If you actually want people to get upset at you, and keep replying you have to make the contratian or low-brow opinions believable. You also need to start deleting your comments, since a single glance at past comment history reveals you as a troll instantly.
As someone who worked IT in a newspaper around 20 years ago: Higher ups would basically laugh at you if you even mentioned web browsing or that they might want make their news more available online.
In their minds it was a fad that would come and go just like 3d movies keep doing over and over. They refused to see computers as anything beyond strictly electronic typewriters with a fancy preview. The only reason the photography department even got proper monitors and such, is because it was cheaper than having to keep developing film on-site.
They still had a few monochrome black/green monitors around 2000. And they were only replaced because it became unsuable for anything but the same text editor, since the menu options were so burned in you couldn't read the menu on other programs.
Me and a buddy once set up a script to change hundreds of peoples wifi name to "Call your ISP". After they refused to believe us when we told them they had misconfigured things(They forgot to whitelist their own IPs and change passwords, so anyone on the same subnet could use the default password to access the ISP admin part of the modem/router combo they sent out).
Depends on several factors and your definition, specially physical vs. psycological.
For example raw fear and happiness is usually quite a bit lower in adult humans than animals. Animals will do things like pass out from excitement, soil themselves out of fear, etc. and although this does happen a bit with human children it is much more rare in adults.
