Usually walk once a week to a grocery store 2.25 km away to stock up, but I'll supplement that with a trip every other day to the smaller grocery store 0.5 km away. I don't own a car and walk/scooter most places and I'd say that's a decent trek. I mostly walk it instead of taking my scooter because I go with my girlfriend and we'll talk, also can carry more back, and it gets us our steps which we like to track.
If it was just me and it was 30C I'd probably just take my scooter or the bus which is decent for getting there most times.
What is this Justinian slander?, my man Belisarius didn't hold Rome and the 50 or so people inside it who hadn't died of plague for a good 5 minutes for you to diss his empire.
I always thought england was pacific north west levels of dreary, didn't know it was that bad. How are the English not more depressed?
The title is misleading, the study doesn't say they're a myth, just not the norm. This would be like saying, "Marine mammals are a myth."
The study isn't saying "alpha males don't exist". It's saying not all primates have clear dominance across gender lines, ie. Males always dominating females. Some species like chimps and baboons do have male dominated social structures, while others have female dominated social structures like bonobos and lemur. Though for the majority, 70%, there is no clear gender that is dominant.
It doesn't say anything about hierarchy within gender though. As far as I know chimps do have a hierarchy within the males and there is an "alpha" at the top. That's not a myth and since the article does say chimps are male dominated it can be said that the troops has an alpha male who is at the top of the hierarchy.
This doesn't mean humans naturally have alpha males, as the article shows there is a lot of variance within primates, but alpha males are a real part of that variety, not a myth.
Do you mean the oceanic climate of France and England, because the ocean moderates the temperatures so winters aren't as cold and summers not as hot as the continental climates in the rest of northern europe.
Speaking as someone who grew up in a continental climate i would not say they're the best. Winters can be horrible and make you it so it's unbearable to be outside for more then 5 minutes.
In general ocean moderated climates are the best because they're much more moderate. Mediterranean climate is the best because of this.
Judging by the downvotes people really underestimate how much emissions come from heating and how intolerable temperate continental winters are without it.
Yeah, but it was miserable for 90% of the population during winter. If you were a peasant that ran out of fuel in the winter you were likely to die of hypothermia back in the day if you werent in top health.
What period of time?
Per year. At least in America if someone asks you how much you make you'll either give hourly or yearly.
I'm not much of a doomer on the tarriffs. The US is already pretty self sufficient, more so then a lot of other developed nations, i think trade is around 17% of the economy, whereas in a lot of other countries it's more like 30%. We make most of our own necessities here like food, gas etc.
Vietnam is mostly making cheap clothes, shoes and electronics and I don't think the world's gonna end if those cost 20% more. I'm more of the mind that the world's going to end if we keep making more fast fashion and e waste but thats a different subject. It could cause larger appliances and vehicles downstream of the electronics to also cost more which are more on the necessity side.
Even if it may be better for the planet it's still not gonna be good for the economy. UPS just announced 20,000 people are getting layed off because Amazon is expecting lower orders due to tarriffs.
I don't think this is going to be made up for by American industry. People were buying $20 pants because they are $20, if it costs $50 to make them in America then people just won't buy them. We also probably won't increase exports much because American labor costs, especially after these deportation, are too high to compete
So at best, assuming this is the deal that the rest of the developing world will get, this will slow down the US economy and probably stall it, sort of where we're at right now. At worst it will cause a slight contraction.
At its most basic, and the way 90% of people interact with the medium, that is it.
Yes you can control settings on the camera and change the angle etc. Just like with ai image generators you can change the settings, prompt etc. To get your desired output.
You can put in effort and take creative license with both photography and ai image generation, most people don't though. But if what makes a medium valid is the ability to configure and adjust it to fit an aesthetic then both photography and image generation allow that.
I don't think i follow your logic, theoretically this would reduce the trade deficit. The US would be importing less from Vietnam because the people in the US have to pay 20% more, and the US would be exporting more to Vietnam as the price of the US good would be cheaper then they were before with no duties.
The US would be exporting more and importing less so the trade deficit will go down.
I don't think that's how it will work on reality as even with that 20% goods produced in Vietnam will still be cheaper then those made in the US. Same with US goods in Vietnam, where even if they don't cost any more then the equivalent Vietnamese good due to tarrifs, they'll still cost a lot more due to labor and shipping costs.
My Uber driver was telling me about this company, trying to get a referral. He was saying you get paid $60 for a two hour session where you wear a helmet and type shit out.
Not as much of an ai hater as a lot of the people here but this use case sounds particularly dystopian. So I figure if enough people sign up and just think about random shit and fuck up there data maybe that'll gum up the works long enough for them to run out of money.
Can't it help with getting treatment for it? At least here in the US you have to justify everything as medically necessary or your insurance won't cover it.
Anecdotally my mom is obese and was getting glp 1 for a while but she doesn't any more because the insurance said it wasn't necessary to treat her borderline diabetes and they stopped covering it.
