Colluded how?

By exchanging and correlating data presumably? For example, anything I send or receive on Discord, I see reflected in my YouTube recommendations shortly after. It's downright egregious at times.

I visited the rainforest in Brazil (Iguazú Falls / Foz do Iguaçu) a few years ago and saw literally dozens of species of butterflies of every size and color. It was truly incredible. Not to mention the falls themselves and the rest of the flora and fauna. The rainforest is amazing!

Take a piss somewhere and wait 10 minutes. It'll be swarmed with butterflies who want the minerals you've laid out for them.

The Amazonian soil is actually extremely poor because of how much water runs through its soil. It's one of the reasons such biodiversity evolved in the first place. Poor soils favor a diversity of strategies while rich soils tend to form monocultures that quickly dominate

(Ofc terra preta, amongst other indigenous technologies, have also radically shaped the soil and its fertility)


Used to be like that between Myanmar and Laos when descending the Mekong from China to Thailand. These days you'd be lucky to see one: development on both sides, particularly clear-felling for rubber (the price of which has now crashed), has totally destroyed the biodiversity.

The bank stole his money, claiming it was theirs? That’s a surprisingly strong action considering there’s no way that could hold up in court…right?


U.S. anti-submarine doctrine for surface vessels is pretty much just “run away”, that’s how dangerous subs are, so that’s why U.S. CSGs often include an attack submarine escort.


The subject is “people”. Parent is suggesting that the equilibrium point of housing supply and demand naturally leaves some people unhoused.


Which isn’t quite accurate as for example people prefer to move out of their parent’s homes while young adults but aren’t necessarily homeless if they don’t.

Basic housing is a necessity, but people also huge homes and 2nd homes etc. So housing policy should therefore be more complicated than simply subsidizing anything you can call housing. Capping the home mortgage tax deduction at ~median home prices for example is probably a better use of government funds.


That is the object of the sentence. He is asking who the subject is, in other words the thing or person that is doing the housing of the people. Is it the government? Is it you? I'm currently responsible for housing myself, which is annoying so I would prefer someone else take on this responsibility.


Maybe they work for Apple


You may be surprised how cavalier some people are about their clearance.


Secret is also like... really common to have. 5 million people or whatever.


I HATE the oily squares on my MacBook Air screen. I think the real issue is that there is zero space between the screen and the keyboard when the laptop is closed. I’ve started keeping a piece of printer paper between the screen and keyboard whenever I close it, and that helps but it’s annoying to have to do. So much so that I looked into getting a MBP but they have the same problem.


I'd take an ever so slightly thicker laptop that avoided this (never seen this on a Thinkpad for example) but Apple seems to be obsessed with the thinnest of everything possible


> Just how stupid do you think lawmakers, judges, prosecutors, and police are?

Quite often pretty stupid, honestly. Or careless, ignorant, jaded, corrupt, etc etc


Which recipe are you following? I found a few, including one on the Neiman Marcus website, but none had pecan flour and only one had walnuts.


The one from email spam circa 2003?
