    My layman guess would be that shortly after formation Earth was just a ball of lava that destroyed every organic component so when the surface solidified it was sterile.

    Absolutely not. It's like opening a hood of your car, taking picture of what you see and then try to build replica of the engine based on that.

    One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here is that shorter line limits (80, 120) make my life easier for non-trivial merge conflicts and diffing changes.

    > No. What causes lift is the differential in pressure between the top and the bottom surface of the wing. How do you explain airplanes that can fly with wing with symmetrical cros…
