- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 months ago:
Because bosses always want to make more money than the people they're bossing. But, also because leadership is responsible, I (engineer) wouldn't want to take the responsibilities of my boss for the same pay.

Purple earth hypothesis suggests that early photosynthesis wasn't chlorophil based, but on a simpler molecule (retinal) which is purple colored. The Canfield ocean was supposed to have followed this time yielding a turquoise life, where the ocean was anoxic and sulfidic. That was then replaced during the great oxigenation event which lead to the current green earth.

If you look at stuff like the purple earth hypothises, the Canfield ocean, I'd definitely go with life finds a way.

LOL, hagelslag is just something to put on your bread like peanut butter or cheese. Some like it, some don't, but I wouldn't offer a coworker breakfast if they were to pick me up for work.
On-topic; this story is the kind of thing you hear about, but never experience. It's something that could almost happen, but you'd have to be a cheap skate by Dutch standards to actually do this.
