Sometimes there’s a stick on the road too.

Internationally. The entire nation can be wealthy in relation to other nations, but not necessarily equally.

Since the term “rich” is relative, I assume the question is in relation to other nations.

If it’s a capitalist nation, I don’t think it would last long. Low incentive to work, coupled with strong international purchasing power, would allow those who spend to drive down their net worth while those who invest increase it. It wouldn’t take more than a few years to begin a notable separation of classes.

You’re assuming that everyone would be equally rich.

Look for commercial televisions for hospitality or signage. They have the added benefit of handling long uptime with low failure rates and multiple inputs.

Reminds me of work from my favorite Disney artist, Eyvind Earle.

I just read through the linked conversation. I’m sorry, but it’s been clearly decided by groupthink that you are not allowed to learn anything or form new opinions. I hope you understand their decision and its effective permanence on your growth.

I thought the Mariana Trench was in the Pacific.

It can also skew one’s perspective on the world to know an immense amount about one specific field. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Small dogs, yes. I legitimately thought they were goat-sized based on that picture.

Two ongoing lawsuits and two congressional inquiries into the Observatory have cost Stanford millions of dollars in legal fees, one of the people told The Washington Post. Students and scholars affiliated with the program say they have been worn down by online attacks and harassment amid the heated political climate for misinformation research, as legislators threaten to cut federal funding to universities studying propaganda.

Take a guess which legislators have a problem with debunking misinformation.

The study of misinformation has become increasingly controversial, and Stamos, DiResta and Starbird have been besieged by lawsuits, document requests and threats of physical harm. Leading the charge has been Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), whose House subcommittee alleges that the Observatory improperly worked with federal officials and social media companies to violate the free-speech rights of conservatives.

“Free speech wins again!” Jordan posted on X on Friday, calling the Observatory part of a “censorship regime.”

Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller’s law firm filed a First Amendment lawsuit in May 2023 against the Observatory, Stamos, DiResta and others; it is still pending.

They believe free speech means freedom to lie without challenge.

Giant sloths are believed to have used their claws to make caves in Brazil 10,000 years ago.

One can build up a tolerance to iocaine by gradually ingesting trace doses over time.

The scale in that pic is bonkers. I honestly couldn’t tell how big they were, so I looked it up.

In case anyone else is curious:

The Arctic hare is one of the largest living lagomorphs. Typically, this species measures from 43 to 70 cm (17 to 28 in) long, not counting a tail length of 4.5 to 10 cm (1.8 to 3.9 in).

I’ve been meaning to ask, has anyone ever told you your F is a tad sharp for equal temperament? I’m not suggesting you change. I think your clean beat frequency makes you pretty cool just the way you are.

It’s not. The kettle attracts and holds heavy metals minerals and lime that would remain in the water of your glazed or glass mug after microwaving.

I had it reversed. Good to know. Thanks!

Over the last 15 years, scientists have updated the theorized appearance of thousands of species of dinosaurs to have feathers. Most of these species are in the theropod family. You’ll be seeing updates in natural history museums as time goes on.

There’s also the chicken’s talons to consider. Birds with similar claws are called raptors due to their similarity in appearance to the dinosaur. This does not mean they are direct descendants, however, but that they have a genealogically shared ancestor.

Really just trying to remain present and enjoy the drive, y’know?
