If the heat die off has only effected those at the lower levels of the food web I wouldn't like to be high up in it.
There's a chance we'll see increased competition among higher level organisms leading to the depletion of the same low level organisms in adjacent areas until those higher levels have a die off event too allowing them to recover.
With spanking you are trying to affect the thought processes that lead to bad behaviour (condition them) with violence. Implicitly showing the child it's ok to use violence to get what you want. Cue tantrums, destructive tendencies, etc.
In your case you are using force (which isn't the same as violence) to achieve something. Your showing the child some things must be done whether they like it or not.
I do believe you should always explain your actions in these kind of situations because children are rational but not nuanced. You have to be much more explicit with them so they learn to understand the implicit.
Yes I agree. Some reasons for reduced access to credit are smaller loans which fixed costs dig deeper into, shorter loans which entail a lower duration of interest, and the higher risk of default.
Conventional credit would rather not touch this lending because it sees lower hanging fruit.
To me this explains why payday loans have higher interest without being any more predatory than other profit seeking enterprises.
To clarify the supply and demand argument was merely describing their abundance in these communities not arguing against their predatory behaviour.
By insinuating they are predatory you imply they are taking advantage of the consumers. If that's the case why isn't another company charging a more reasonable amount thereby taking over the entire market and making money?
Furthermore what's the alternative to consumers not having these loans available? It could be that they lose their car, causing them to lose their job, then their home.
Edit: I often see claims they hide their interest rate, but why would they advertise a yearly rate when the loans are intended for durations of weeks? It's like complaining that petrol isn't priced by the kilogallon.
"What’s more, consumer advocates point to studies that show Black and Latino communities are disproportionately targeted by providers of high-cost loans.
In Johnson’s home state of Michigan, areas that are more than a quarter Black and Latino have 7.6 payday stores for every 100,000 people, or about 50% more than elsewhere, according to data collected by the Center for Responsible Lending."
Is this not the same as saying Asian communities are disproportionately targeted by stores selling Asian produce? It's just basic supply and demand right?
We like to make out that some practices are predatory but both sides of the deal agree to the terms. Doesn't this mean they both think what they are recieving is of greater value than what they are giving? how is that predatory?
But increased CO2 is strongly linked to the greening effect.
>Studies have shown that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide increase photosynthesis, spurring plant growth.
>Results showed that carbon dioxide fertilization explains 70 percent of the greening effect, said co-author Ranga Myneni, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University. “The second most important driver is nitrogen, at 9 percent. So we see what an outsized role CO2 plays in this process.”
You're right for the short term but (in the hypothetical case it becomes deadlier) once we are aware it has becomes deadlier, our behaviour will change and reduce transmission.
I'm not sure how right this is but I was told it's to do with time dilation. If you're moving close to the speed of light, stuff that isn't is experiencing way more time than you. As light isn't affected by time dilation it's still traveling at the same speed but now has much longer to do so. So from your perspective the speed of light seems to be 190% not because it's traveling faster than C but because it's traveling more C seconds per your second when your time is dilated.
Edit: on further reading perhaps I haven't even addressed your question...
If I had to hazard a guess I would say it's to do with light having no mass. Once it's emitted it's no longer in your frame of reference so your supposed speed is irrelevant to it.
They didn't, the air was never contested. The fighting happened within Azerbaijan's borders so air superiority was already assured. The only threat to the drones were SAMs that were incredibly ineffective. (Possibly due to age or crew inexperience)
NK and Armenia are tiny and received little to no military aid. Is the future of warfare picking on poorly equipped enemies with high tech weapons? If so then we've been living in the future for the last few decades.
Armenian forces tried to fight conventionally in open terrain against an enemy who had air superiority and fared like every other force that's done the same.
In other breaking news - clickbait titles are the future of journalism.
Say thanks. Even if you disagree with the point being made it's always insightful to hear another point of view. Whether the insight is regarding the point itself or why others hold this different point of view. Discourse is one of our best tools for understanding the world around us and we should always appreciate it.
For some reason we have almost completely lost the ability to disagree with each other civilly. I'm not going to bother opening the can of worms as to why I think we have but I think something that can help is a reminder that: if someone's opinion is at odds with yours it does not invalidate yours or you in anyway, and we should never treat it as an attack on us even when we think it is meant as one. There's no winner in that game.
Presumably if your swab comes back as positive for the virus you'll be notified. It seems to me someone could pseudo test a friend or family member by sending their swab instead.
