Even if two species existed that had similar soil, water and sun requirements, had similar properties regarding taste, processability, etc., it would still be easier to farm just one instead of breeding both for milennia and splitting the means of production.

I still download my music. Two pros: I have control over where, when and how I listen to it. And I only download music I actually want to listen to.
One con: Finding new music is harder (I imagine).

In Germany frost is combated by spraying vines with mist. Freezing water releases heat, which raises the temperature by a few degrees.

That ‘86 pages’ factoid is misleading. They weren’t trying to prove that 1+1=2. They were trying to build a foundation for mathematics, and at some point along the way that prove fell out of the equations.

I find this axiomatization of the naturals quite neat:
- Zero is a natural number. 0∈ℕ
- For every natural number there exists a succeeding natural number. ∀_n_∈ℕ: s(n)∈ℕ (s denotes the successor function)
Now the neat part: If 0 is a constant, then s(0) is also a constant. So we can invent a name for that constant and call it “1.” Now s(s(0)) is a constant, too. Call it “2” and proceed to invent the natural numbers.

Thanks for not requiring a NASA computer to run this game.

I think there’s a difference between making a claim (then I’m with you – provide a source, goddamnit) and getting asked a question where it’s obvious the asker hasn’t even tried finding out shit on their own. In the latter I think the card is right. I’m not your proxy for google.

Whoopsie. I used to assume neutron stars are made of neutrons. It turns out Big Astronomy lied to me.

While that’s true, it’s an inconsistency. All other prefixes for factors greater than 1 are capitalized, while lowercase prefixes are for factors less than 1.

I see 6 labels. I guess that means 2 surveys per year. But I’m just guessing.

- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 2 weeks ago:
2012 appears once as a birth year and once as a surveillance year. The graph says that they only ever surveyed 8-year-olds, since the birth year is always 8 less than the surveillance year.
- Comment on The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use smart phones a lot, so feel free to disregard my opinion. But to me, swiping to the left means “next”, like turning a page in a book. If you wanted to leave the site, you’d go ‘back’ to where you came from, which means swiping from left to right to me.
