Sure, and it will be worse

Really proving the point of "if there really was a big conspiracy and attempted coverup, someone will eventually leak it"

Flat earth fake moon landing, alien pyramids, got nothing, despite people super actively looking for evidence, but the republicans, NSA, and the shit CIA did (and the myriad other proven conspiracies)? Yeah, those did not stay secret. A lot of them are quite in the open too, people just don't tend to be too interested

Assuming that people are biologically different enough between these two areas that is, or some other localized cause of aging at these years. Which I don't find particularly likely, but yes, it is an assumption

As always, bigger studies are desirable, but idk if it's much of a criticism of studies. These are for a scientific audience, after all

Again, proving the point

I don't have the time or energy to do a full statistic course, but there's the whole thing of sampling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics)

For a very basic example, say you have 1 million people, 200 000 prefers burgers, and 800 000 prefers pizza, then say out you pick people out randomly from the group of 1 million people

How many do you need to pick out to have a 95% certainty that the ratio falls within 95% of the general distribution in the population? The answer is: 246. 246 is a big enough sample size for a 95% confidence that you are within 95% of the range of the general population distribution in this specific example

There's a lot more to this, of course, but hopefully this is sufficient to showcase that you do not need large amounts of data to derive conclusive results

Usually in a scientific context you go more the route of calculating the confidence percentage that the data you got is random, also known as null-hypothesis testing, where the confidence percentage is the p-value. So the inverse of that is the confidence that it's not random

But, again, there's so much more to statistics than this, this is just the very basics.

I don't see any houses on the mountain

She says this as if the far-right doesn't constantly belittle, cuss out, diminish, put down, and spread falsehoods about their opponents and minorities

There's also no other biological activity there on the surface

Maybe there is some in the deep underground, but they wouldn't be affected by nukes and terraforming

It is however also worth noting that lines of code is a not great metric for complexity

But yes, as a casual comparison it's interesting

On the other hand, ACs are heat pumps, which are generally efficient for transferring heat energy (both to warm and cool)

Not just that, but far more of them. And also missiles that consist of dozen of smaller warheads inside

And these missiles can travel to literally any place on earth, no matter where they started, as they follow a sub-orbital trajectory into space

If you can rally a local community behind you, it's better to look beyond the limitations and negative influences of money

Honestly, if you read the manual you are very much not dumb
