Reply to comment by Test19s in Tunisia to cut off public water supplies overnight due to drought by Throwaway08080909070
You certainly aren't wrong, but it's worth remembering that what those regions could sustain in terms of population is orders of magnitude fewer people than the populations which exist today. What happens when billions of people fight over resources that can sustain only a tenth of that number?
All of those net importers of food suddenly without food to import, power plants and water treatment plants which can only be maintained with Western parts and/or aid. It would be an absolute horror and it would be quick relatively speaking, a few years at most.

It would be "factually accurate" to label a subset of vehicle-vehicle collisions and vehicle-pedestrian collisions "iPhone related", if a driver or pedestrian was listening to music or using GPS on a iPhone at the time.
But that "iPhone relationship" is only relevant in a small number of cases, so it would be intellectually dishonest.
Firearms were available before the pandemic. Their availability did not increase during the pandemic. Firearms are not the relevant factor here.

Reply to How to select the right 529 plan? by thebeginingisnear
Utah's is really great with low fees and great investment options at my529.org so that's what I use from Texas, but it may not make sense to give up a state tax deduction in your state.

Reply to In U.K. cities, 25% to 38% of particulate pollution is produced by farms, more than produced by the city itself by marketrent
Excerpt from the linked summary^1 about research published in City and Environment Interactions:^2
>First author Dr Jamie Kelly, who conducted the research while based at UCL Geography before moving to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, said: “We were surprised to find how pervasive the contribution of agricultural emissions of ammonia to particulate pollution really is.
>“Particulate pollution across the UK is dominated by aerosols formed from rural agricultural emissions of ammonia. This influence extended from rural areas to mid-sized cities like Leicester, large cities like Birmingham and, for the UK, anomalously large cities like London.
>“This is because ammonia and aerosol particles can stay suspended in the atmosphere for days to a few weeks and so be transported long distances.”
>This kind of fine particulate pollution can have serious health effects, with estimates saying it may contribute to between 29,000 and 99,000 additional premature deaths each year in the UK.
>
>The team ran multiple simulations with different pollution sources turned on and off, to see how each source contributed to the spread of particulate pollution.
>They found that UK agriculture contributed 38% of the particulate pollution in Leicester and 32% in Birmingham. Even in large cities like London, agriculture contributed 25% of the city’s pollution.
>Cities only contributed between about 13-24% to their own pollution, mostly from traffic, energy production, industry, and furnaces in commercial and residential locations.
>Senior author Dr Eloise Marais (UCL Geography) said: “Our work has identified that addressing urban air pollution doesn’t only require local solutions like ultra-low emission or clean air zones, but also national-scale measures that reduce ammonia emissions from rural agriculture.
>“Such actions have potentially large health benefits, as the fine particulate matter pollution formed from ammonia is a leading global health risk.”

Reply to I (40M) slept with my best friend (32F) by [deleted]
Having got rather intimate with a friend it took us about a month to discuss it. Surprisingly the occasion we got intimate was also the same day we discussed it being a bad idea. Clearly it was on our minds and we still decided to sense out the window.
P.S. it doesn’t have to ruin a friendship but you should consider why it happened as you’re both in committed relationships.

Which phone should I buy
iPhone 14
iPhone 13
iPhone 13 mini
iPhone Se 3rd Gen
​
I am about to go off to college and am hoping to buy a phone to last the majority of college at least. I can afford all of these options, but prefer to spend as little as possible. I use my phone mainly for browsing, light media consumption, and communication. I value performance, longevity, durability, and battery life. With that said, which phone would you guys recommend? I love the price point of the Se, but I worry about its ability to last the next four years. The 13 mini seems like a sweet spot, but I worry about its form factor. The 13 and 14 checks all the boxes, but the price point is tough for me to swallow. Also, what are your thoughts on apple care? I have broken two phones in the last 4 years, but both were cheaper androids (Pixel 4a and Nord n10 5g). I know iPhones are more durable, and I am investing in a better case and screen protector this time around. Thanks for the help!

And one of the best, IMO. The characters had depth, instead of just being the tropes they were known for. And they were inventive with the monster of the week, too.
