Trigger the leftists with the questions. Joke?
I agree it’s hard to have specialized communities here due to the population size, except for the subject that were already the core interests of the people here like IT and left politics. - Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 2 weeks ago:

What is the context of this quote? NYT’s journalist editorial, someone invited to write, someone quoted?

- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 5 weeks ago:
I studied physics at university. Enrichied fuel used in nuclear power plants and the byproducts of the reactions are dangerous. The multiple security measures are not there for the pleasure of spending budget.

The consequence of this legitimate fear is crazy security and the cost of it. To the point where the cost of nee nuclear now struggles to compete with renewables. The new generation plants EPR are catastrophic in terms of budget and schedule.

It will depend on the people and how you approach them, some will be happy to learn your interest, some will expect that it goes both ways and some will not want to be bothered. That’s just normal human things.

Sense of wonder from discovering how different people from different places think similarly or differently of the same experiences, or different experiences you never thought about.

You’re are over interpreting a lot. I was simply expecting some American to come on and say America is two continents because that’s what you are taught, just as Latin culture people are taught it’s one continent. I’m not saying one is better than the other. By the way, it’s not a Europe thing, UK people are told the same as North Americans, it’s probably its origin. You could try asking for explanations before jumping to the agressive interpretation.

Here it is. As I hinted above, conventional continent boundaries are cultural, not scientific. Have a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number

You’re going to confuse Americans who are taught America is two different continents: North and South (difference with the Latin culture).

I checked it up and couldn’t find any reference, it seems op is completely fabricated and not straight. The only interesting method that was temporarily effective was the introduction of specialized viruses, until they became more resistant. www.nma.gov.au/…/rabbits-introduced

The only thing NDAs can really cover are true trade secrets that could cause actual damages to the company.
Isn’t it very easy for companies to argue any confidential information/agreement would damage them?
