there isn’t technically a recession

And if the economy were shrinking, would the US government statisticians actually release reliable data that says so?

There are different answers depending on the end goal.

Mere survival: Isolated human populations have been bottlenecked to as few as a few hundred individuals and survived, IIRC.

A quick search says biologists like to see 25+ breeding pairs to maintain an animal species (if I’m reading that correctly). So 50-100 seems like pretty close to the minimum.

Long-term colony building with full genetic diversity needs a lot more: At least one estimate is as high as 40,000 people. The high number is for Earth-like diversity in the population, and with no need for any overarching breeding program, so it’s really kind of an outlier scenario. That 40k figure can be pared down significantly if you have strict protocols, or accept some loss of diversity.

So anywhere from 50 people to 40,000 people, but the end result will look wildly different at the extremes.

We are committed to protecting Richmond’s waterways

Wouldn’t want all that street runoff - full of dirt, oil, animal droppings, and who knows what else - to be contaminated by a little caffeine.

I say we still do that one, though. As long as he goes, personally.

FWIW, it was not even a bill aimed at removing age limits on marriage, it was creating a new kind of marriage unavailable to same sex couples that didn’t initially include age limits. It was amended to include them before failing anyway.

Be angry at the attempt to backdoor a gay marriage restriction, but calling this a pedo bill is, by all accounts, misinformation.

He saw it on TV instead of through his porn accountability app. It was terrifying for him to not share his viewing with his son.

Frankly, it does look exactly like every sword-wielding, walking skeleton I’ve seen IRL. No notes.

Depending on the severity of the crime (if NSA gets involved, for instance) there are ways to defeat Tor, anyway. They have historically maintained backdoors (technical and human) into most telecom networks, and can always “ask” ISPs for a ton of information on a suspect.

If something was previously the right tool for the job, then, despite no apparent changes in the behavior of the user, is intentionally broken by the creator of the tool and is no longer suitable - that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.

IMHO.

To hell with that, I’d download two.

Who are you delegating to “disallow” such a thing? Like a law?

I can’t speak for the official rules, but I swear I’ve heard “What is…” in times when that’s not the most appropriate response.

It sure feels like “in the form of a question” is more important than if the question itself makes grammatical sense.
