Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

No, this is the 'original' Phillips, that is now focussed on medical devices. And hue lights are (confusingly) produced by yet another seperate former piece of Phillips: Signify, the former lighting devision.

Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

Your definition of vegetable is "cannot be used as base for pizza sauce"? Oddly specific.

Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

People really think this. Most peoples knowledge stops at "evolution is when thing become better". And people that do realize don't talk about evolutionary pressure in the gut microbiome in the comic community.

I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?

Oh it is completely irrelevant for Fry's point. Just thought it was interesting.

Maybe surprising, but yes. The pope is an example. Historically it was not super uncommon, nowadays Malaysia and Cambodia for instance still have an elected monarch.
