Reply to South American Forests [OC] by symmy546

I was reading about the geographical range of Jaguars last night. After seeing that, and now this, they like the jungle, and don’t really leave it.

Reply to [OC] Uruguay slashed its informal economy by half in just 10 years. by latinometrics

That's cool, while Brasil...

Also, there's any effect of ageing population on the statistics?

According to this site, the average age on Latin America and the Caribbean is 31.0years, while on Uruguai, is 35.8. Maybe the age of the population, has some impact on the informal economy and the force labour, impacting the marginal cost of employees...

Reply to comment by doodlebug80085 in [OC] The decline of the Mecha Genre in Anime (More explanations in comments) by The_11th_Guild

Another question is if Code Geass by Sunrise counts as Mecha even though it's literally just a suspense drama like Death Note but just happens to have Mecha in the universe. Lol

I like CG more than Eva, but they're not even comparable... But they're both kinda the same genre, but kinda not? Lol

Reply to [OC] Germany's gas imports from Russia vs total. Russia went from 35% to 0% vs total 38% global reduction. by hcrx

THANK YOU for including totals there. I keep seeing graphs showing reduction in Russian gas imports like it's some amazing victory without showing that these countries are unable to fully replace the imports. Seeing the whole picture requires more information than the other posts have been providing.

Europe is working hard to manage their energy situation right now because of the deficit and those efforts aren't reflected in the 1-sided graphs people keep posting.

Reply to comment by TheHoleInFranksHead in We surveyed 1k people on the Metaverse and discovered that almost nobody (1.5%) cares about Meta's Horizon World by matthevva

It's a video game with scenery but no "real purpose" so in effect a planet, world, or universe, hence the name Metaverse. It quickly becomes a terrible place to be. You'd think they could be like Reddit but the logistics are completely different. It's fine to be in the bathroom and on Reddit, but understandably considered gross in VR. All Metaverses devolve into kinky sex/romance parks eventually and are work known as marriage destroyers.

So, now you know.

Yes. and I am not convinced Russia can simply "find other customers" easily. Germany = 80 some million people and the #4 economy in the world, meaning they have plenty to spend on energy. And it's not just Germany, the entire EU's % of gas imports being from Russia used to be around 50%. Now it's like 18%. You can't just go "find another" EU to shell out many billions for your fuels.

Reply to comment by Tyrannical1 in [OC] The U.S. House of Representatives elected the Speaker of the House after 15 ballots. 1859 was the last year to require more than 15 ballots. by JPAnalyst

No, it's more concerning that individuals elected by wildly different ideologies don't disagree like this more often.

Debate, dissent, and compromise should be commonplace. It's actually about time there was some minute level of dissonance in congress rather than the uniparty machine we've had for a lifetime.
