Don't discount disturbed land. Early successional habitat is even more biodiverse than old growth forests, and high quality early successional habitat is very rare in the south.

And?

Is it possible that that influenced IKEA's decision to make the Skyrim mod in OP? That way, they have a stronger trademark case, because it's more likely for a consumer to confuse the fake IKEA game with the real one.

Chex Quest was awesome and got a ton of playtime in my household.

What about IEMs with custom earmolds?

> it's obviously advantageous to defend it religiously as "better than everyone else

Or laugh at ourselves about it, which is what we normally do.

To be fair, he wasn't wrong!

I would've thought it was obvious we shouldn't introduce beavers to South America if they aren't native there.

I do believe people still hunt beaver, but they usually trap them instead of shooting.

When I got my hunting license, part of the safety course was about trapping. The impression I got from that was that trapping is basically torturing animals to death and infinitely worse than shooting them with rifles.

> We won't be matching the power of the dinosaur comet anytime soon, and even that gave rise to mammals

Great, biodiversity will be restored in 100 million years, just in time for my great-great-great-great......grandchildren to enjoy.

Yeah they have rebounded a lot and we should celebrate that.

I think their point was that, instead of trying to reengineer and rebuild an entire ecosystem, you fix one or two things that were preventing nature from restoring itself.

I believe this is called "Process-Based Restoration".

So that the election is decided by the people who live near the one place?

In old people obesity predicts longer lifespans, so GLP-1 might not be indicated anyway.

Sounds made up.

Maybe they're just following the sound of the other bats directly, they way you would if you were blindfolded and told to walk with a group of people.

Ah, so an innocent person wasn’t necessarily tortured for almost a month. That makes me feel better

> If you want, I can show you this one WEIRD TRICK doctors HATE!

FIRE types are exactly the people who do the things I said. And no, you won't suddenly have millions but you will eventually have millions.

Being clueless can be admirable, I think. These are the people you work with who put in the work even when it won't lead to a fatter paycheck for themselves. The essay makes them out to all be useless middle managers, but the actual top contributers to a team also fit most closely with this category.

The Clueless is the person who actually believes his work makes a difference and wants to do a good job. Not necessarily a terrible way to live, although it should be acknowledged that the Loser frees up time and energy to devote to other things, notably family.

On the contrary, the frugal option is quite often the cooler, more fulfilling one:

- riding a bike instead of driving (makes you fitter, hotter, increases mating potential)

- cooking food (impressive to friends and potential mates, makes you and your family healthier)

- building furniture, tech stuff, whatever (your stuff is customized to your own tastes and situation)

- playing music in a band (get paid for a Saturday night out instead of paying for it)

- helping friends and asking friends for help in return (builds social ties)

They said "many things", not "everything".

How so?

Ok but we were talking about marginal differences in potty training methods, not neglecting kids and feeding them garbage.

Exclusive breastfeeding (not bottle feeding breastmilk) is less labor than formula. The problem is potential discomfort, and inability for both parents to split the labor more equally.

This is why politicians are usually expected to choose their words carefully. Most of them know that what they say matters and has effects on the real world.

I think that interventions in the region of interest, the middle east, are more relevant data points than Venezuela.

Do you believe that those goals will be achieved? Given the historical track record of these kinds of interventions, I do not.

Water retention plantings like bioswales could help with the thermal impacts too if the wastewater can be treated there right?
