I really would not like to have to test the UK's government on security of food supply vs love of golf courses. I suspect I already know the answer to that one and it comes in a variety of pastel tones.
Some architects are already proposing to build floating apartments off the piers in Manhattan - https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/09/pier-40-manhattan-new-york...
Yep and it exists in the past. Over half of the population has already left.

Fair enough. That is a very good way of stating your predicament, I can't really fault it :)
edit - This design is so absurdly straight forward, I am genuinely impressed. The damn thing is even reversible. Is cool as hell that this works. I wonder what the pitfalls are?
edit2 for magnat as it is not letting me reply to the comment below - The way I understand it (given it is described as a FET), those two electrodes sit directly on top of a gate. If you flood the gate with electrons, then the gate's negative electric field will keep the electrons in the electrodes away from the gap, reducing or completely halting the flow of current.
>"Sending young men off to fight in a holy cause temporarily stifled the internal wars that had afflicted the West since the collapse of Roman government . That a few of the early Crusading skirmishes produced victories helped Europeans regain a sense of self-confidence, after centuries of losing on nearly every front, they temporarily turned the tables on their military and cultural superiors to the east."
>"The Church regarded crusaders as military pilgrims. They took vows and were rewarded with privileges of protection for their property at home. Any legal proceedings against them were suspended. Another major inducement was the offer of indulgences for the remission of sin. Knights were especially attracted by what were effectively Get-Out-Of-Hell-Free cards allowing them to commit any sins throughout the rest of their lives without incurring liability in this or the next world."
>This is not the first time that passports from Sealand have found their way into the news. One was found on the killer of Gianni Versace, Andrew Cunanan, and he was said to have a car with Sealand diplomatic plates. In 1997 forged Sealand passports were used to launder drug money in Slovenia, and there were reports that 4,000 forged passports were sold at £1,000 a head before China's takeover of Hong Kong. People involved in an illegal pyramid-selling scheme in eastern Europe had Sealand papers; one had border stamps from Libya, Iraq and Iran.

There's a study that looked into this for chess and found that for the amount of people who actually stick at it, 96% of the the split in chess can be accounted for by it being what you would expect for the amount of men and women playing.
>Why are (the best) women so good at chess? Participation rates and gender differences in intellectual domains
>A popular explanation for the small number of women at the top level of intellectually demanding activities from chess to science appeals to biological differences in the intellectual abilities of men and women. An alternative explanation is that the extreme values in a large sample are likely to be greater than those in a small one. Although the performance of the 100 best German male chess players is better than that of the 100 best German women, we show that 96 per cent of the observed difference would be expected given the much greater number of men who play chess. There is little left for biological or cultural explanations to account for. In science, where there are many more male than female participants, this statistical sampling explanation, rather than differences in intellectual ability, may also be the main reason why women are under-represented at the top end.

How would you know? By definition, they generally don't let on.
edit - all in all, never mind namespace collisions, this is a slow motion car crash of nomenclature and everybody involved should serve some sort of penance and promise not to name anything more important than a houseplant ever again.
>And many crusaders went further than that. They chose a risky expedition often at a great expense of their families for no discernible earthly benefit.
Come on, is well established history that they often got shipped out on Crusade for being thugs. Itinerant knights were a huge problem during periods of peace, so they got told that if they pissed off to the holy land, their existing crimes would be forgiven and they could be absolved of future sin, as long as that sin was not being committed in Europe.
You know those extra thick milkshakes you get in burger franchises? Try not to buy them from the cheaper places.
To be fair, they are Vikings, which probably counts as both pirate and terrorist, though I'd say it is a bit of a delayed response as the Icelandic haven't gone a'viking in simply ages.
As an aside, I have run into a few people recently who claim to be both vikings and anti-immigration, which I cannot help but find really funny.
