A fine for every day the problem persists, at a reasonable 1% of daily revenue, enforced by ban.

Those things tend to be full of fancy bells and whistles too, and many don't even get a full legth bed anymore. The market isn't targeting workers with them.

"Experiences" was a typo, I meant "Expenses". I think this is more of a roomate situation, where rent and utilities are shared, but food, taxes, and recreation are not. Paying more of the rent may indirectly allow your roommate to spend more on streaming services, you're not ever paying for their subscriptions directly.

That said, official clarification is definitely a good thing.

I think Fedecan donations go toward shared infrastructure expenses and projects, while sh.itjust.works donations go toward SJW expenses exclusively.

sh.itjust.works donations would go toward shared ~~experiences~~ expenses to some extent, but not other Fedecan projects.

I'm not part of the project though, that's just my interpretation.

Legolas can also tell that they carry spears and their leader is taller than average. Spectral information is unlikely to tell him that.

It's kind of a thing in certain animals, but not wolves like originally claimed. The certain animals here being mostly primates, so it's even more applicable.

That said, the politics of social primates are notoriously complex and many cultures have unique behaviors within the species, so there aren't really any universal rules particularly among the most social groups.

There's a reason the guy in the meme is dressed like a clown.

I think it's been styled to match the spectrographs in the background.

Still hard to read.

There are a few, but they're rare. I also have no idea if they're any good.

It might be more accurate to say the average person knows more about what we don't know about the ocean than what we don't know about the moon.

We have a decent idea about what can and may exist in and about Earth's oceans, but less about the moon; and most people assume it's just a dusty rock too.

I would love to see oil go the way of asbestos and just be a problem for the next 100 years, but unless a lot of people get really cool with nuclear power and plastic alternatives, we're going to be using a decent amount of oil products for a while. I would rather avoid a situation like Germany, where we build a dozen coal plants because a foreign nation decided to stop playing nice.

I fully agree that less oil in general is a good thing, and shifting from heavy oils to lighter oils is also a good thing. But if we're going to be extracting and using something anyway, I think processing it ourselves is an improvement as well, and it will somewhat help keep the money AB & SK spend on oil in Canada and reduce our dependence on long pipelines and foreign industry.

Reducing our dependence on oil in the first place would definitely be better, but if we only take the best steps we won't get anywhere.
