But why that metric? What makes that metric a good metric to use? Was that metric genuinely the best, or was it the best to get the answer they wanted to satisfy whoever was funding the study?
we’re not voting for president of the mammals.
No, but in general it’s worth questioning any stats and figures because people we vote for use them to make policy decisions
Which I think is intentionally disingenuous as it massively favours the large mammals over the far higher number of species of smaller mammals.
For example you’d need over 70 squeal monkeys to make to the biomass of an average American.
Humans and other great apes can be considered mega fauna, so it doesn’t seem surprising that us and the animals we consume make up a higher percentage of bio mass. Were bigger.
Now watch the animals of farthing wood
Thats largely because they’ve shouted about (and let everyone shout about) the shit stupid things they’ve done, ans kept quiet about anything decent.
are a few big things that will massively help people. Instead of talking about these they’re letting the narrative be that they’re basically doing austerity again.
In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx20p2x9093t
Until there’s independent evidence otherwise I’m going to assume either fudged maintenance reports or the switch designer at boeing is about to commit suicide by shooting themself in the back of the head hours before talking to the press.
I see two explanations. One, perhaps by “reading”, they’re referring to reading of a lengua franca like Federation standard - Nog has learned and is capable of reading the Ferengi language, but not another. When dealing with other languages, the general expectation is either a universal translator is used or they pick it up as they go.
I feel like this is a potential argument alongside the increased neuroplastisity. Jake and Keiko would not have been able to help him learn to read Ferengi as I very much doubt they could read it themselves.
Still Starfleet seems to have educational requirements. In LD:“Something Borrowed, Something Green”, Tendi mentions how she wouldn’t have gotten into the Academy without having gone to high school, suggesting Nog needs the equivalent of a high school education to train to be a Starfleet officer.
Clearly The Sisko was better at persuading Starfleet / The UFP itself how politically advantageous it would be to have an officer from a world thar, not that long ago, had been expected to be the next major enemy.
Thinking on this, Nog’s family had connnections to the Nagus (I’m not sure if it’s revealed before or after his joining - but even if it’s after the Federation has spies ) so his rise though the ranks could be as much about politics as it is about his raw talent
Plus it’s not free. So the assumption would be that they’re making their momey by charging the therapist a service charge.
Also, just being the wrong type of Christian in the 14th and 15th centuries was a good way to get burnt at the steak or hung if you weren’t willing to convert to whichever was currently in fashion with the monarch.
Isn’t not having kids more impactful than anything as that’s entire person’s life of co2 you’re not creating.
Sorry, I can’t help you with this request at the moment. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Weekends = 104
Holiday entitlement = 35
Paid “sick” = 10 (yeah not great)
Meh I’ll take a day less as I get to do what I want on those days rather than grovel to some nonexistent man in the sky.
Haha yeah that would actually be really good.
The problem we’ve had over here is the big parties haven’t wanted to relinquish power or don’t seem to recognise how much the political climate has changed.
UKIP got big because people wanted an alternative not really because people wanted to leave the EU. You can tell that because Cameron gave people the EU referendum to try and neuter them. They just reformed into Reform UK and are now polling scary well.
The most sensible thing Labour could do this parliament is introduce proportional representation in some kind. That way at rhe next election they’d likley be the biggest party in a centre left colalition. There’s no signs of them even considering it. They seem to still think that power should be all or nothing.
What we get now, because they’ve hung on so tight to FPTP is a really big chunk of people voting tactically against the party they don’t want.
How would more than two work in your system? In the UK it has led (and looks like it will continue to lead) to some very unrepresentative results. FPTP means that the vote gets split so e.g if there’s 3 left wing parties and they each get 24% of the vote but there’s only 1 right wing party and they get 28% the right wing candidate will win (even though 72% of people voted against them)
Must be Aussies then. Brits it’s ache.
misspelled (misspelt?)
Both are correct
Spelt is more common in UK English, spelled is more common with Americans (I have no idea what other variants use)
Do Americans pronounce age ache then?
The UK has spending limits which mitigates that. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/party-spending-and-pre-poll-donations-and-loans-uk-parliamentary-general-election/spending-limit
I would not surprise me ifeventualy Mastodon will have to do the same especially the Mastodon servers located in the EU and UK.Ftfy
