The GP is talking about the dismantling of the Commons in England during the Industrial Revolution.

Anyway, it's not that simple. English even got the term "tragedy of the Commons" to refer to what was happening before the dismantling. Those people still were plainly stolen, yes, but the value what was taken wasn't that clear. Also, people were escaping the Commons into factory jobs way before they were taken.

Why "our table"? Clark Kent is not there talking to her. Or she got the table with Superman?

Anyway, what is this platibus doing around here? Oh Perry the Platibus?! Did you see where that other platibus went?

Hum, technically you take any object, odds are even it's a fermion.

The males won't pass the mutation to their children, enforcing that it will disappear in 5 or 6 generations... So, if it does anything, it will last for a couple of months at most.

But also, it doesn't slow down the females at all, and the male mosquito population isn't usually the bottleneck on their reproduction.

Oh, thanks.

I don't think I would like this :(

If you are expecting consistency from something like this, you should try getting involved in local politics at least once.

Whatever way you imagine for deciding it, the answer is yes, they do that.

Do they gesstimate? Yes!

Do they hire engineers to guesstimate? Yes!

Do they concede to popular pressure? Yes!

Do they concede to money pressure? Yes!

Do they use the placement to guide the city's evolution? Yes!

I don't think this is useful. Looks like an explanation about why deaf mosquitoes aren't common.

Plastic doesn't have to burn that well.

Plastic used around electronics isn't allowed to burn that well in most of the world. And plastic in large outdoor structures shouldn't burn that well either.

Created in a type-matrix printer. Probably because the insurance company's deal with the post office was closed in the 1980s, and the letter-making equipment is the same since then.
