So, since you're support staff and economically a cost center and not a producer, they make more than you, right? You advocate for their wages first, right?
Did those trees, before there were decomposers, have access to nitrogen fixing bacteria? Where were they getting ammonium and nitrate?
Just stuff built up from lightning, nitrogen and oxygen?
Edit: Looks like land dwelling soil forming bacteria started in the Cambrian. Then, in the Ordovician the first land plants. Then, in the Silurian vascular plants and trees appeared.
Since the 1990s, numerous space-borne ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometers, e.g., the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME)10, SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY)11, Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)12, and Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment–2 (GOME-2)13,14, have achieved the global monitoring of atmospheric trace gases, including NO2, SO2, HCHO, and O3, by using their unique absorption signatures in a shorter wavelength range (250–500 nm).
Would be nice to be able to pick out individual source polluters for a range of substances. Think that's on the horizon, but upcoming. (Again, haven't done a deep or even medium dive on topic in a while.)
Did US health insurance end up deciding to cover the new COVID boosters?
There was a lot of mixed messaging there for a while about how the prices were going to be like 10x as much and coverage was uncertain. That uncertainty can't have helped getting people in to get that and their other seasonal vaccines, even if it ended up getting resolved.
There are innerspring futon mattresses. Had one for years when I was younger. Definitely not as bad as the basic things. If you're gonna have a futon for yourself, your kids or guests, look into them.
Didn't sign a write-up I got on purpose and got fired on the spot, because I needed additional time for finals at school. Got my job back under union rules because lack of progressive discipline. Left for a better job 6 months later when I graduated.
Little bit of both. I use whole herbs and loose tea. Half a cinnamon stick boiled well, first in the pot with pepper, makes about a pot the size that I use. Probably about a pint and a half, maybe two, with a strainer lid. Pour spout on the side. Fairly standard cooking pot.
I make a concentrated pot of assam black tea, chamomile, cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom on the stove every couple days. Keep it refrigerated, dilute it as needed and drink it from about 7am-2pm. The mix keeps me awake enough, but the chamomile takes the edge off and keeps me from getting anxious. The cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom help my stomach from getting mad about everything I eat and tastes good. Assam black tea has a maltier flavor I really like, much less tannic. Sometimes, I'll add fresh turmeric, ginger, citrus peel or other things.
Used to drink coffee, but it's just too harsh for me anymore. I really like tea.
Unfortunately, they'd probably call in the military in the case of a general strike. At least try to assassinate the leadership.
Guillotines might result in less and more well directed bloodshed. Though, I don't disagree entirely. That kind of violence, any kind of mass violence, ends up at least somewhat with spillover and misdirection.
Complexity gives the games depth which allows them to hold interest. You can try something, figure out how to play the game that way, and then go and start a new character to figure out how to play the game another utilizing the knowledge you've gained from prior experimentation.
Some of the inventory management can be annoying at times, but again it's an opportunity to employ knowledge as a means to identify the items that aren't particularly useful to one playstyle and could be useful under another set of abilities/attributes or some set of combinations allowed by the game.
A game that only has one right answer quickly becomes a boring precision button pushing simulator to people who prefer more complexity, variety and depth in their gaming experience.
Not that one preference or the other is inherently correct, but hopefully it can be understood that different people want different things from their games.
No. Did you? I was replying to every parent comment above mine.
"about to be out of a job"
"will be hired by Google, Microsoft and other companies within minutes."
"I'm sure MS would love to grab a few more."
All seemed to ignore the context quoted from the letter and may as well have been responding solely based on the headline alone. The employees clearly stated they already have an active offer in place.

Wasn't meant as a personal attack. Shoulda put it on the Amidala meme, I guess. 🤷♂️
