Uh, damn! I had the impression that a lot of governments around the world rely on the theory that talk is enough!

That makes sense, I guess. Like to choose a skillset for the next epoch, if you're right. That sounds kinda cool. Almost like a skill tree for your civ, only that it comes with a civ name change.
The second big change is that when you transition from one age to the next—there are three ages, Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern—you'll pick a new civilization to lead, one that was at the height of its power during the age in question. So you might go from controlling Rome in Antiquity to Mongolia during the Exploration age.
Well, I still play civ4 bts, never went beyond civ5 and unless I update my hardware probably won't try civ6 and civ7 anytime soon.
But what you mean, you'll change civilization midgame? I can't wrap my head around this concept. Or does your civilization simply change it's name?
If it had a stable orbit before and then slowed down, I thought it'll get a more elliptical orbit, being both closer and further, or fall into Earth.
My logic was that a stable orbit closer to the center needs higher speeds to counter higher gravity and vice versa.
So if the moon would get hit in a way that makes it slow down and get pushed further away from Earth at the same time, it could keep a roundish orbit, or not?
What's with that specific timeframe? Is it due to the orbit never being perfect? Or random slight influences from other not too far, heavy objects?
Thanks for the explanation, the moon being a little fast for it's orbit and therefore slowly spiraling out of Earths gravity makes sense to me now.
It would not, though. I assume your glasses to have a larger surface than your eyes. Additionally, eyelash do are real good job in filtering the air in front of your eye.
Source: was wearing glasses for 25 years before I got my eyes fixed 7 years ago.
I know you're right, have read it elsewhere before. But I can't figure out why that would happen. I doubt Earth is loosing mass. Does the moon slow down over time due to impacts or what causes this?
The other 3% probably aren't all climate change deniers.
I would guess that a large chunk of those are more like 'the data is not sufficient or good enough to be absolutely, absolutely certain'.
I use mosquito coils, they are very effective.
I also have an electric bat, although it's more for the phycho fun of killing than helping reducing bites. They are just too many.
I tried lemongrass as a natural deterrent but had the impression it made no difference.
What works best for me is: slapping those you can while not caring about the rest. Because once you start to scratch it's a vicious cycle, so I don't touch stings and usually then forget about them shortly after.
Maybe they are different. I live in Asia. From what I heard there are many mosquito species, but the majority not blood sucking or at least not human blood sucking. Only few species carry disease, if I recall correctly.
To be fair, when I'm preoccupied, I also don't feel them always. Or I feel them but my hands are busy, so I can't slap them. I often have this at night, when I'm playing PC games and my feet get stung up. It'll be like "ouch, my foot! Gotta slap that mosquito, but first I finish this in game. And then this." Procrastinating until it's too late.
I believe ankles are prime for them due to thin skin.
One mosquito died, writing this comment.
The article:
This positive news comes after the first patient ([Noland Arbaugh]) suffered major issues with his implant, with only 10-15% of the electrodes still working after receiving the implant in January. The issue of electrode threads retracting was apparently a known issue years prior already.
I disagree. I live in mosquito land and get bitten a lot. I'd say the majority of mosquitos biting me, I feel when they land, before they bite. Probably half of those I can either slap or miss and they take off again and try again. There are some spots though where I don't feel them land. The annoying ones are those I feel touching me but they don't land, they just fly around. Those are hard to slap.
Unrelated question: does anybody happen to know if the biting time matters for transmitting disease?
2 mosquitos died on me while typing out this comment.
Thank you!
Currently I'm using both Boost and Thunder, as both have things I like and both have things I miss, that the other app does have. I'll see over time if I will settle with only one app and if it's Thunder I will want to figure that out.
Currently I found a workaround by first adding like 10 returns on the bottom of my text so I am able to see what I write above.
(This comment I will post with the additional returns at the end to see if they get automatically removed or not. According to the preview option they won't be visible.)
