The local producers did reduce output for those reasons, supermarkets etc instead went to source replacement produce from overseas, but those overseas suppliers also had a poor sea…

The Harrys Farm youtube channel explains it fairly basically in this video, I'll try and link direct to about where he talks about it specifically (although whole thing might be wo…

While you are mostly correct there have been some infamous ones such as the 1983 Negev incident where an F-15 and A-4 Skyhawk collided and the F-15 landed without a wing https://ww…

I don't think the F-15 would be the first to accelerate vertically, the English Electric Lightning was also known for incredible climb performance even in the vertical and it's a m…

Certainly in my area they seem to just wear dark plain hoodies and face masks and don't care much about cameras as at 4am no-one is likely monitoring any alerts that come up and on…

Not exactly the same but there has been consideration given to store ICBMs in lakes amongst other things: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/air-force-considered-f...

Not exactly what you are describing but there are some sites like runrepeat.com that are basically a database of running shoes that let you compare stats and check aggregated revie…

>Where do we land when people are not allowed to pick the partner they actually want? We land in reality. There tends to be a bit of a gap between what people 'want' and what they …

This is correct, you don't need animal products specifically to get the height increase it's more about just getting a decent amount of protein along with associated vitamins and m…

That's really not how it worked, the conquered people mostly obeyed the Roman rule not because they were won over with hearts and minds but because otherwise the Romans were absolu…

Experience/training does seem to matter more as distance increases, distance runners tend to peak older than you'd think. Also for sprinting, height matters somewhat, in particular…

I'm fairly sure the Ghost of Kyiv came from a DCS (digital combat simulator) player originally and is actually based on this short DCS movie called 'The Ghost' which has very simil…

Like most of these ridiculous intergenerational conflict articles lately, it doesn't even get the generations right! The rants about 'Millennials' are really about 'Gen Z' who are …

I remember Web 3.0 was first a thing maybe 15 years ago when talking about the 'Semantic web', i.e. interchangeable meta data standards etc. That was mostly boring data stuff to 'n…

From what I've seen it mostly it's Americans writing about the US losing the next world war in fictional books like Ghost fleet: A Novel of the Next World War or Twilight's Last Gl…

Men do outnumber women on apps but I think you'll find it's actually very difficult these days to get men to attend dating events like speed dating even in western countries. Why a…

Privacy does have a cost. I was working at TfNSW at the time they were phasing out the paper tickets and the main reason they got rid of them was the enormous cost of having and ma…

Except modern fruit variants are not what we evolved to eat. Some zoos have stopped feeding fruit to some animals because they are too high in sugar. https://qz.com/1408469/humans-…

That would suck. In China when you win the lottery, while they don't reveal your name, you still need to collect the prize/cheque in person and pose for publicity shots. This has l…

Didn't Biden say within the past couple of days there wouldn't be helicopters evacuating the embassy like in Vietnam? Guess he got that wrong.

Some of the trucks etc were broken down or worn out and some might have been contractor or personal vehicles brought over that they probably decided wasn't worth the cost to take b…

It does make sense if you think about it in terms of overall calories consumed rather than metabolic rate. Children are very small and light, so even with a higher metabolic rate t…

Like most things there's quite a lot of factors to play into this but I would say one of the main factors here is that generally men start reducing natural testosterone production …

This is exactly right, I had a 1.5 hour each way commute before we switched to work from home last year. I calculated that I saved around AU$5000 a year just from not having to com…
