From what I’ve read we are energy efficient but this is not the main reason why we are good persistent hunters.
We have two main advantages, one we can stand above the tall grass to spot our prey from afar but mainly we sweat !
We are extremely good at regulating our internal temperature in hot climates compared to other animals, this way we can just follow them until they overheat at which point they physically have to stop.
This is also why persistent hunting is practiced by tribes in the hot savanna of Africa, I have not heard about any example of persistent hunting in cold climates.

It just confirms what I am saying. For a billionaire, paying for his own breakfast is an oddity, a story that you tell people.

The only time I went to a casino I went on with 20€, left with around 26€.
Now I have a good incentive to never step in a casino again, this way all my life I can keep the achievement to never have lost money at a casino.

Once you are rich enough you don’t even buy things. You might need to ask for things in some cases but most of the time things are just there when you need it.
Rich people wake up, sit at their table and the breakfast is ready. Once they are done they leave the room and the breakfast disappears, and everything is cleaned when they come back.
They leave their dirty clothes on the floor and they reappear clean and ironed in their dressing.

I don’t know how much of this story is a legend or not but this is how a scientific (Claude Lorius) for the idea of collecting data from the air bubbles trapped in the arctic ice. (This data is now the base of climate science)
After a day of drilling on the arctic, as they were releasing in the evening they decided to use ice cubes from the ice they just drilled for their whisky. Drinking ice that is several hundred thousands years old is quite cool. While drinking the whisky the scientific noticed the air bubbles coming at the surface, then he got the idea that of he could analyze the air trapped in the ice he would get information about the atmosphere of the past.

- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 1 month ago:
If Germany can’t use the bomb without the US approbation then Germany does not have a nuclear bomb.
Germany does not have a credible deterrence.
- Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons? 1 month ago:
France and the US are the only two NATO countries able to build nukes.
Theoretically the UK are able to build nukes too but not without US support.

You have to engrave special runes on these rocks for them to work.
I heard that some wizards on the remote island of Tayouan far east are very good at it.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 2 months ago:
First steep, gather all the ocean’s trash.
Good luck with that !
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
No, NASA has the budget. They already spent $50 billion on the development of SLS and Orion, Starship development cost is estimated to be around $10 billion.
So in theory with the money they spent on SLS they could have built 5 starship program.
The problem is that NASA has to follow political interests, sometimes the political interests align with technical interest and we get great things like the Apollo program.

Imagine you want to build a cabin in a very remote place in Alaska.
Getting there is quite difficult, you did it a few times in the 60’s but the path is so bad that you had to throw the truck away each time (around $45,000 per trip, for the truck + gas)
You are still planning to build your cabin but having to buy a new truck for each trip is not great, plus the fact that only one company can make this SLS truck so you can’t get more than once a year.
Building a cabin in these circumstances is close to impossible.
Now SpaceX makes a new Starship truck that can go all the way AND be reused. The trip from the hardware store to the build site now only costs you around $100 for the gas plus truck expenses AND you can now do the trip to the hardware store multiple times a day !
Now building the cabin becomes way more accessible.
Replace the Alaskan cabin with a scientific base on the moon or Mars and multiply the amounts by 100,000 and you have an approximation of the situation

Similarly seasoning peppers are a staple of Caribbean cuisine. They look and taste almost identical to habaneros peppers minus the heat.

I think you described quite accurately the difference between introverts and extroverts.
Extroverts gain energy with social interaction whereas it costs energy for introverts to be in these social interactions.
