Spotted the fattest person I've ever seen a few minutes ago.
Her volume is twice the size of mine with a generous amount of room to spare.
I'm mortified. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight after such an encounter #hog

@kvali_app @turambaru Insomuch as any one clade can be said to represent an ethnic group, N-VL29 corresponds to Estonians, the other corresponds to Sami.
English
@coaladdict @turambaru Do these two clades correspond to specific historical/ethnographic peoples?

I think heavy use of nicotine pouches is going to end up being worse for brain health than even pack-a-day smoking, via acetylcholine receptor downregulation, and chronic vasoconstriction leading to endothelial dysfunction > reduction in white and gray matter.

@aswren Finally I get to bring up Blindsight because the book explores that question.
Consciousness is probably an impediment to an intelligent organism and seemingly serves little evolutionary purpose. An unconsciously acting but highly intelligent organism is a superior lifeform.

Also takes into account superior US freezing technologies which retained quality better, which the USSR struggled with, and the general nutrient supply of food items; the USSR's volume of potato consumption was 90% of the US's, but in terms of weight, US consumption was <half.
English
The only adequate and sufficiently comprehensive work that addresses food consumption in the USSR is Igor Birmin's "Personal Consumption in the USSR and the USA (1989)." It goes into the % of vitamin-enriched foods and accounts for spoilage after consumption (purchase).

@VakarisSan Treatlerism is when you can produce a caloric surplus.

People in the 1990s didn't have the word to express it, but the USSR fell due to treatlerism

@Devon_Eriksen_ I wouldn't be caught dead in that giant floating Chinese coffin. A vanity project pretending to be a ship.
English
@Devon_Eriksen_ Columbus's ship could sail against the wind and travel in oceanic waters, was crewed by professionals, and was captained by someone who had a concept of a spherical Earth and thus could navigate effectively, hence it was European ships that colonized Earth, not Chinese junks.

It's not the size of your ship, it's your motion across the ocean.

And Europe was the first to actually develop the financial tools necessary to make paper (fiat) money work when the amount of it in circulation is greater than metal reserves via fractional reserve banking and advanced central banking and whatnot. This was previously a bottleneck
English
I'm not sure it's accurate to say China was unique in inventing paper money. Paper money is just when you have a certificate you can redeem for a quantity of metal, which most civilizations with metal currency developed independently, and they were used more in trades than metal.

@austroanarchism Basically no endogenous drivers of productivity growth at all. Just a complete subhuman shithole country that only ever experienced growth out of luck and happenstance. Lol.
English
@austroanarchism When the ussr had high growth periods, it was either due to having a low base, post-WW2 rebound effects, and/or enhanced productivity from the German machinery they stole. The service life of German machinery expiring is actually considered a major reason for said secular decline
English
When the ussr and dprk had periods of rapid economic growth people called them viable alternatives to the standard East Asian/Western development models (cough cough, Paul Samuelson), when they began trends of secular decline it was taken to be a cause of the bureaucracy becoming

These are deliberately picked photos and should not necessarily be taken as representative of all of Britain.
But growing up in the former S*viet bloc feels like the exact opposite of this image; urban spaces have gotten a complete makeover, my family's property value increased.
