One reason whites live at low altitude in mountainous South America is that they don't suffer so many difficulties carrying pregnancies to term. The natives are better adapted to local conditions.
Doesn't really apply here, as the lake side to homes a bit higher up is maybe <100m. IIRC 1600 - 1700. That difference is not effecting anyone.

They'd probably call it Über-See over there.
I realize you’re joking, but Übersee is a german word that denotes everything across the ocean. (Der See => the lake. Die See => the ocean)

Good thing the 10% that actually matters doesn't require JS. If your content is actually important, it'll be accessible without JS.

#68Our ancestors were not dumb people. This is terrifying as it didn't happen just once, but multiple times. We have a working model here. "If you see me, you will weep. So low was the water in 2018."
I get the feeling that droughts have happened before, are happening now, and will happen again; and we are just not able as humans to control the climate. In fact I found this study that proves that history does repeat. https://www.clim-past.net/9/1985/2013/cp-9-1985-2013.pdf Thankfully, due to technological advancement though - it is nowhere near as damaging as it once was - in fact now these are barely a blip on th…
