It really is a great plant: Easy to grow even in bad soil, simple to harvest, full of starch, and easy to store without refrigeration. If you've got a sunny balcony and a big pot you can grow a fifty pounds a season, and you can start with potatoes you buy from the store.

While the Eastern hemisphere was breeding livestock the Western Hemisphere was breeding plants. (There's only one domesticatable animal in the Americas so they had some free time.) With that time they created potatoes, hot peppers, tomatoes, maize, squash, pineapples, peanuts, and many more.

Sorry, there are two domesticable species native to the Americas: Llamas and turkeys. (Three if you count alpacas.)

However, the strategy to getting meat was different in a lot of the Americas. They didn't want the big, stinky animals living nearby, so they'd manage habitats for wild animals. Then they'd go there to capture them.

This is also why explorers weren't hit that hard by disease. By not having much exposure to diseases from animals, there weren't that many the indigenous peoples could give to the Europeans, but the European livestock gave a lot of diseases back.

Yeah, all you needed to do to get three hots and a cot is say you don't like the government, and these guys just show up and give you a ride.

A Democratic Senator introduced a bill that would stop hedge funds from buying and owning single family homes. But Republicans won't pass it.

Unless they're service dogs. Then you just get a little choked up at how great dogs are because you shouldn't pet them when they're working.

how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

Cops will find any excuse they want to be assholes. By shutting the fuck up you make your lawyer’s job a lot easier.

Though it’s probably best to say “I an invoking my fifth amendment right to silence” so they know what you’re doing before they beat you and shoot your dog.

For the last decade my job has consisted of helping IT administrators manage open source software. Even if they've got all the certifications in the world they get stuck. A lot. Like, so much that I'm amazed the Internet works at all.

And then the get angry, like the computer is going to respond to their anger. They stop reading error messages. They forget to look at logs. They can't just stop and read and think.

The computer doesn't care that you're angry. It's a Turing machine, and it can do anything a Turing machine can do provided it's told to do the correct things.

My frame of reference is the latest nuclear reactor built in the US. It was six years late, $14 billion over budget, bankrupted Westinghouse, and is set to increase electric rates. The DoE had to give them a $12 billion loan just to finish construction.

I'm not scared they're gonna blow up. I'm scared they're gonna waste a ton of money that could be used for renewables. Heck, even the small modular reactors are running over cost and over time.

historean, to history

In your opinion, which world war was worse and why do you believe this?

Semi-Hemi-Demigod,
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

@historean For me, it was WWI. While more people died in WWII, at least defeating fascism was a noble goal. The cause of WWI was a bunch of treaties that "forced" everyone into it. So all of those young men died for no reason, which makes it so much more tragic to me.
