Of course. Those 10 lines of extra code is that much more tokens every time your agents read and use that section of code. The more blot in the project to more tokens your agents will burn.

No. The ground does not usually significantly compress under those loads. Remember for much of human history buildings are build with wood and non vitrified bricks that readily break back-down into mud/gravel/organic matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_(archaeology)

I might be mistaken but critical workers are guaranteed back pay
This is the correct answer. Alone is not really a how to live in the woods show, it's a managed starvation show. The contestants are limited to about a 1 sq mile area which may or may not have a good source of clay. They purposely set them out just a few weeks before winter so they do not have a long time to prep. Conserving and replenishing calories is the name of the game.
Protect our privacy? Or protect thier right to piracy?

Lol. I highly doubt it

Is there any evidence that anc headphones are bad for your ears? I also feel odd presure in my ears when using them. I know they are supposed to cancel out the wave form but I was curious if latency,timing etc could lead to high frequency and in audible but still damaging presure on ear drum? I have no evidence for this other then discomfort using anc and suffering from tinnitus after using anc
Thats seems less interesting to me because they where all found in the copper merchants house. So it was just a records cache.
I mean that's better then funding a bunch of startups that try and use psychological traps to capture the attention of your kids and ruining their ability to focus. Most of them also fold 1-2 years later.

Maybe both making a glass and plastic bottle take more energy to make then in transport? And or you have to transport the empties back to clean and refill?
Trump does make the offical MAGA hats in the USA. Random people can and do import hats to sell at rallies and the like.
It's not just one guy it's THE one guy that really matters. And a majority of voters picked that guy.
I disagree. There is plenty of evidence of oral traditions being passed down through the different indo european languages (Sanskrit, Latin, Greek, German etc.) that date back to before the split 8100 years ago. Granted the specifics details and names get changed over the years but there is amazing similarities at can only be explained through oral traditions.

I don't understand how this was going to work? Was the plan to paint every year them all every year? I am not very familiar with reindeer but don't they shed the antlers every year like whitetail? So for most of the year they don't have antlers or they are growing them and they are covered with a soft velvet and only harden and scrap off the velvet layer on tress right before breading season. They fight and breed then shed thier antlers. You would have a very short window after they scrape thier velvet to paint and it would only be good for a 3-5 months at most. Granted at least for whitetail most of the accidents happen during the breeding season (like humans, male deer can be pretty reckless when it comes time to mate)

I could see this being the reason your carrots didn't grow well though. If the carrots tap root struggles a bit through the cardboard it could mess up devlopment. I think this is why they say not to transplant carrots. The tap root bottoms out quickly and struggles to recover.

I mean there is a LOT more to life then fishing and hunting that people might care about? And even if we want to restrict ourselves to fishing and hunting there are more issues then just polution that may sway peoples minds. Gun control? Most of the anti hunting groups and extreme environmental groups that want to shutdown any form of hunting are often composed of far left leaning people. But the biggest reason is probably these people tend to live in more republican leaning areas and care about the same issues their friends and neighbors do.
Also does he risk his insurance rejecting the claim saying he caused the damage? Also although probably negligible your then making the flooding worse for your neighbors.

Has anyone every built a colimated monitor display? I have been thinking about building a collimated display system using 3 monitors or projectors and A mylar sheet to make display system near optical infinity. Like some old flight simulator systems. It will take up alot of space but should help eye strain I think.

Neat! I am going to have to play with this for fun in my free time. C&C Red Alert was one of the first things that got me interested in programming and developing software, there was an ini file somewhere where you could control all the stats/wepons of the units. I had a blast making crazy units mods to units and it made me want to learn how to create games and software generally.
