Is there any actual evidence that Sapiens Sapiens was smarter? What I read, a long time ago, was that the key difference was language capability (more developed voice box) allowing modern humans to better coordinate for fighting, foraging, etc.
We had Steam on Chromebooks (natively, not an Android app) for a while, but they are taking it away.
Traditionally they have gotten away with it because they are only exclusive for online purchase. Usually you can go to the venue box office or call and buy tickets.
Yes, it's misleading. I read that title and thought "OMG, corals have existed for 500 million years through average global temperatures as high as 36c (compared to 15c today). How hot is it going to get!?!?!?!?"
But then you read that it's just current reefs, and corals will do what they have always done and move/start new colonies where the temperatures are more to their liking.
Is this why the DOD's cloud service (Nautilus) that uses Microsoft's Azure Virtual Desktop was down? Someone might have some explaining to do about why that traffic was headed overseas.....
There have been Chinese cars sold in the US for quite a while, even EVs (Polestar) and because they are not idiots they price them for what the US market is willing to pay, not the Chinese market. So if BYD ever enters the US market under their own brand, expect them to charge US prices.
Panasonic 3DO
1993: $699.99
2025: $1585
I think this might be the winner for "mainstream" consoles. I saved up all of the money I made from my summer full-time job and bought the 3DO and a Connor 500MB hard drive for my computer.
Found it a bit humorous that your big mentions for European exceptionalism (Novo Nordisk and ASML) rely pretty heavily on the US.
Novo Nordisk does the majority of their R&D in the US, with their largest facility (with the most patents and papers) in Boston.
ASML's on the other hand is almost entirely a collection of US companies they bought out (Cymer invented their EUV/DUV tech, SVG produces the lithography equipment, and Brion Tech provided their patterning and lithography software). The "key components" are produced in the US and shipped to Denmark for final assembly. ASML is more American than Baseball or Apple Pie.
This is such a ridiculous statement. You mean to tell me you have spent time in all 55 US States and Territories and 50 European Countries and Territories and can say there is no contest? Transnistria/Moldova and Bulgaria are unequivocally better places to live than New Hampshire or Hawaii?
Good news, additional life expectancy for older people is much higher in the US than it is in the EU.
Average life expectancy for someone 75 years old in the US is 11 years for a man, 13 years for a woman.
Average life expectancy for someone 75 years old in Europe is 4 years for a man, 9 years for a woman.

Where do you live that all of these are functions of the (presumably local) government? My water and sewer company (same company) is private, our power company is private, our garbage collection is private, airports, roads and school are a mix (the baseline service is public, but if you want faster/better you pay for private).
I think the data-manipulation argument isn't about how accurate thermometers are, it's about how accurate satellite temperature readings are (especially when they so often conflict with local thermometer based readings).
I would expect discussion on this post to center around the fact that localized data doesn't really mean anything when discussing overall "climate change". Parts of Australia and the west coast of the US are currently experiencing record breaking cold temperatures for June.
Bro, all you're proving here is that you have a 4th grade understanding of the English language.
Wait, what do you think the word volunteer means? The official definition says one who freely offers to do something, that means to choose to do something of your own volition rather than be compelled. It DOES NOT mean working for free.
In this case, they are volunteering to work in the warehouse in lieu of their normal workplace. And the word volunteer is appropriate because their bosses aren't singling people out and saying "YOU WILL GO WORK IN THE WAREHOUSE".
When all else fails, read the instructions.
