This doesn’t cause traits to be one or the other, but it’s related to

1. How prevalent is that trait in a population?

And

2. Does that trait make the thing that has it more successful at passing down its traits* or less successful at it?

*”passing down traits” == “making babies”

Also note that it is MUCH MUCH easier to not consume calories, than to burn them off later.

Its almost impossible to lose weight with exercise alone. If your eating too much now so that your overweight, if you start to work out you will be even hungrier, and it will be even harder to not eat, and that one soft drink takes like 2 hours of jogging to burn off.

Mathematically, the "best" way to lose way it to focus on cutting portions, eating less calorie dense foods, and then adding in lighter exercise and working your way to harder exercise as you are able to handle the cravings. of course willpower is hard to just create.

Either way the principle is true

You can get up to extreme temperatures in a hot tub by slowly turning up the temperature and it will feel like a normal hot tub near dangerous temperatures

I've been thinking about this recently. I doubt it is fully extinct? Surely we could excavate and try to find a seed? This was a common plant all over the med, so why would it be completely gone without a single surviving seed?

Well for one we (should) care about non humans too. At the very least we know affecting large ecosystems also brings negative consequences to areas outside of those ecosystems.

But also it's expensive. Nobody wants to pay to haul trash to the middle of Nevada.

well you see, back in roman times the width of two horses on a chariot created ruts in the road. then trains were invented to run in those roads. then they built the space shuttle to fit on a train. So the audio jacks need 2 pins on planes because of two horeses asses.

>the rich can take loans using the stock as collateral allowing them to defer paying taxes, often permanently as no tax is owed until the stock is actually sold

you imply they do this to avoid taxes which isn't the case and you say "permanently" which makes no sense. You realize they have to pay back these loans, right? So what ever income they've made will be taxed and will go towards the loan(which btw has a small interest rate). The reason the rich get loans because they believe their stock will go up so they want to hold on to as long as possible. So if A rich person wants 100mil instead selling the 1mil shares, they get a loan and when they have to pay off the loan they might have to only sell 300,000 shares.

In the original boiled frog experiment the frogs brain has to be removed or it would jump out of the water on e it got too hot.

They are pretty damn close these days. Feeding a baby with formula will not cause malnutrition.

There are some things that we don't know how to make like antibodies but they aren't really nutrients.

Put simply: Correct, in a vacuum where shareholders were bricks with wallets that don't care about getting paid

The delivery service takes 18% or more from the restaurant so the restaurant is very close to making nothing on the low price orders.

For SkiptheDishes the minimum for an order is $6 for an order if you accept 90% of your orders. If the customer tips the tip is not added to the $6, so a $3.00 order with a $3 too is $6 not $9. Plus for years there was no minimum.

There was a community based not for profit solution to compete against the delivery services. The local restaurants could set up the service and hire delivery drivers as employees. The operating costs were split by percentage of orders. If the pizza place got 50% of the orders then they pay 50% of the costs.

Last I heard Skip bought the software behind the service and killed it.

Only had an experience with them in an MRI machine (No metal, they let you use them to take your mind off of the MRI, especially during full body scans, which take forever), I can only imagine how much ass they must suck to use in-flight. haha

It’s up to each individual country. The EU isn’t a country. You can usually find the different requirements on the country’s government website. Most European countries do have language requirements to get citizenship, and the other steps can be pretty hard. I have an American friend who moved to Denmark, and she’s had to take intensive language classes, maintain employment for several years, and other steps. And she’s still not close.

You could get special visas that allow you to stay there for long periods, but again you have to look at each individual country.

Depends on the country. I'm American but have been living in Mexico for a while. I get a (very cheap) 180 day visa and when that's about to expire, I fly back to the US, touch my feet down on my native soil for a day or two, and then re-up my visa. I know some Americans living down here that do the same.

Do not evade the automod.

The frog thing is a myth. The frog will jump out when he gets too hot. Also, throwing a frog in boiling water will kill it instantly.

Every six to ten years, aircraft go in for a "D check", where they disassemble the whole thing, replace anything corroded or worn out, and put it all back together again.

The lighter weight "C check" is more often, but is 4000+ hours of time to do.

If you're doing the once-a-decade style service, it feels time to replace the plugs from 25+ years back. ;-)
