In the field. We already addressed that. Humans pick the food in 104° weather in late June/July/August when the wet bulb globe temperature is 95+

This is the most accurate no I've ever read in my life.

Maybe? But 122 is way different than 114 in this case.

Use SimpleX chat instead. It's open source, verified secure by 3rd party cryptologists, and has features like self destruct where you can input a secondary passcode and it will seemingly "log you in" while simultaneously deleting all chat history and recreating an account with your name. That ensures that any attempts to capture group members and torture their way into the group could be mitigated.

My issue with this is that people work various hours. Not every single person in the world works 09:00-17:00(9-5). Some of their super heroes(cops) work 15:00-23:00 here in the United States. That leaves plenty of time in the morning and afternoon for a good ol fashioned protest.

I was annoyed that no one was answering this because I was tacitly curious too. For what its worth, it was kinda difficult to find a current figure, but in 2021 it was 11% of the global wealth or $51.81 trillion. The top .1% only has about $56 trillion from what I can tell.

So even in that bracket, the ultra-super pro max wealthy own 90%+ of the top .1% of global wealth if my numbers are even remotely correct. That list would be the world's 810,000 most wealthy individuals.

Talk about a gross oversimplification. Venice grew out of mosquito infested lagoon due to necessity. The Venetian people were driven into the lagoon multiple times over centuries as a means of protection from Germanic invasions in the 7th century. They capitalized on shipping and trade just like any other population would do and used those riches to make their citizens lives better. What would you have expected them to do? Turn away from the money spice trading and Mediterranean shipping traffic brought them because it would make them too rich? Because again, they were a people used to fleeing into a mosquito infested lagoon when their farming population was invaded by multiple armies.

For that reason, comparing an entire cultural population like Venice to a singular person is a false equivalency. Bezos hasn't used his shipping fortune to enrich anyone but himself, but at least Venetian royalty built buildings and public spaces for their population.

Its by design. If they have an unruly person they want to just get rid of every once in a while, kill them behind closed doors and dump the body in the swamp during a faux escape attempt. Then during the media circuit that surrounds the death you just claim the prisoner was killed by alligators in the surrounding swamp after an attempted escape.

Huh...sure enough. I assumed it was just whole grain wheat. Alright, carry on.

Wheat berries?

I've been using Weatherbug as my "gold standard" for years as an athletic trainer to track incoming storms and lightning strike data during outdoor sports events, so those features are pretty important to me. I've just gotten so fed up with their shitty practices. The ads are getting worse and worse(to the point that they're almost exclusively clickbait malware) and they keep nudging me with push notifications to buy the ad free version. Which is of course a subscription instead of a one time payment. They even tested locking the future radar behind a paywall briefly. They must have gotten hammered by uninstalls because it didn't last very long, but I'm not comfortable with staying engaged with a company that's constantly trying to see what features they can get away with removing.

Thanks!
