It's really not, boars can breed multiple times per year, have litters between 2 and 12, and can breed as early as 6 months old.

It takes lots of effort to keep a population stable, actually eliminating them is very difficult.

It's sort of what happens though. A plant gets a defense mechanism, it becomes more abundant, something will target that abundant food source.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

So mother is in the 12th hour of labor, she can just morally request an abortion? What if the baby is crowning? How about before the cord is clamped or cut? What about the day before a C-section?

Grand strategy games aren't for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.

The lab leak theory was dismissed because there was a lot of powerful people that didn't want any serious investigation into it. China was 100% against the lab leak theory. Fauci and the CDC were also against the lab leak theory as he was directly responsible for funding gain of function research in the most likely lab, which had been widely criticised as extremely risky research.

It also makes an incredible conspiracy theory because it's essentially impossible to prove either way at this point.

Amazon hasn't been the cheapest for things in a long time. There's a few segments where they are competitive, but it's generally only small things that are cheaper to ship. The more people that learn this the better.

There was a time when you could have kitty litter delivered to your home for less than it cost at a local store, but that hasn't been the case for a almost a decade.

Many pre WWII guns that were broken or unwanted were scrapped in metal drives to support the war effort.

In modern times there are several ways they can get used.

• some will get cannibalized for parts by gunsmiths
• some get used for artwork.
• many are scrapped after gun buyback programs
• some are lost in trash or bodies of water both on purpose or accidentally

The problem is a second launcher or library is a pain in the ass for a user. I already avoid GoG unless it's massively cheaper, and there's the no drm benefits there. I'm not even interested in free games on epic.

Epic is the latest example that's trying. EA gave up that fight years ago, and probably had better shot than Epic ever will.

Most the article makes no sense, but the Mac stuff is really weird. This 18 year old YouTube video is still accurate about the Mac part. https://youtu.be/2B-ekl_cEWk

Much better performance is a bit of an exaggeration. Switch games are running at similar fps and resolutions to 360 games.

It's still a reasonable rule, with a few outliers. For the switch specifically, you could make a reasonable argument it was retro on launch, with cartridges and massively underpowered hardware.

I think using emulation as the benchmark for what makes a console retro can be a useful rule of thumb. By that metric I don't think the 360 is retro yet as emulation isn't quite mainstream or functional for the majority of titles. It's probably getting close though.

Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

For a billionaire spending $1 million is roughly equivalent to a normal person spending $100. It sounds like a lot of money because it is, but they have an even more absurd amount of money.

Go back to the stone age and drop modern steel tools and weapons where a tribe could find them. That tribe would likely become dominant and perhaps change everything.

It's all about weight when going to space. It's one of the basic parts of rocket science. If you want to send 1 pound into space, you need to add gas to cover that weight, and the weight of the gas you add. Eventually you reach a point where the combined weight of the gas is more than the thrust it provides and you can't add more. Solar is light, a few hours of no power isn't a big deal over months or years of operation time, if you are confident things will come back on when there's light again.

From a US perspective. Depending on the specialty a PA will do 99% of what a doctor does. In more surgical specialities they tend to do most of the pre and post op work. The US also has NPs (nurse practitioners) which are very similar in function to a PA. The big difference is that an NP is taught medicine from a nursing perspective, while a PA is more explicit in the partnership with a doctor. As a PA or NP you would be more of a peer with a doctor, so you would likely see different sides of doctors and nurses than you currently do.

You can expect different drama, maybe not less. I can't say what specifically would be the case in Germany. In the US it's mostly about balancing patient care with paperwork, and battling insurance companies. The ratio of practicing medicine vs bureaucratic bullshit is currently very skewed towards bureaucracy in the US.
