Bamboo is a perfect candidate for densified wood materials and composites e.g. University of Maryland's Superwood, imo.
THOUGH maybe help is in the same category too. Also, hemp polymers and composites have been experimented on in the middle of the last century with some success

He doesn't. His level of eloquence clearly suggests "square peg in the round hole, may the strongest win" type of thinker.
But you don't need your regurgitators to be very smart – only to repeat the prefabbed formula – that's the beauty of the method.

Because "DC intel" says the guy is deeply in AIPAC pocket. Just using the opportunity to inject some side agenda – kinda like what he claims the protesters to be doing

Yeah, like, why would anyone think that several overlapping COMPETING communication satellite meshes is a good idea?

Microplastics are definitely also a problem, though distinct from phtalate leaching. The article seems to be specifically about phtalates.
Those have long been known to be a problem – primarily for their endocrine disruptive qualities.

Phtalates are not the same issue as microplastics. They have been recognized as a problem for longer and carry a chemical and hormonally disruptive risk.
Most commonly found in "soft to touch" plastics, from which they leach readily

In part, this discovery is a fluke, due to the extreme South-to-North orientation of the Nile, with cities established along it as well as the major travel artery, making ancient person in question kinda loiter back and forth along the same meridian for purposes of trade.

Well, at noon, the shadow is the shortest, however long it is.
We're unfamiliar with sundials so this doesn't come super-intuitively to us but to a well-travelled ancient person (a rarity) the difference in length of the noon shadow would at some point become of interest.
comment in response to

Oh, right – because a sundial measures the angle, not the length... 🤦♂️
Ok, I see it.

Since a search doesn't bring up anything of of significance on parapsychological research in Stalin-era USSR, it must be some kind of secret highly esoteric knowledge only privy to the one professor.
Not casting doubts on your words, or anything, bit this is not how you form a verifiable argument.

Hate to rain on Mr Sagan's parade, but how exactly did they synchronize the time of measurement to know that they indeed are measuring at the same time?
The distance seems very significant for the ancient world.

Stalin didn't believe in it – he rejected US' soothsayer-based warnings that Hitler will attack him.

I already explained the dynamic, no? Your own bringing up Tate shows that is not religious sentiments, but that other thing that's at play.

Which could be another way of saying girls are leaving church at unprecedented rate.
I'm not witnessing any organic engagement with young christian influencers.
I AM seing, however, spambot posts in the vein of "Jesus is king etc" etc. The desire to create an APPEARANCE of public demand is 💯 there

Lookup of the article's author, because nobody's got time to read unsubstantiated trash behind a paywall, brings up another NYT article – a sort of bio on her, titled "She almost went on a mormon mission"

Any evidence of Gen Z men having a hightened active interest in religion?
This is nothing more than a shoddy attempt at manufacturing consent, ham-fisted as it is transparent
They voted for stump because YOLO and because their ex-girlfriend they're bitter @ for never having had will really hate it

Article is preparing the ground for upcoming religious enforcement. Project 2025 is still the main force in the ruling coalition and their ambition is creating a theocratic dictatorship.
It won't happen all at once, but it will happen with claims of "people yearn for a return to religion"

"Art" to him is purely the commercialization of it. You are talking about completely different things using the same word.
He won't understand because the process is exactly the thing that appeals to him the least. He only wants the sellable pile of pixels.

Jeez... The most boring way to be an abject mediocrity imaginable.
On the other hand, he's just selling whatever blandness he trades in – kinda makes sense.

It could have been that way.
Most "proponents" tragically lack the prerequisite entry minimun, however.

Bitcoin is WAAAAYY worse than AI – completely useless waste of electricity and compute. At least AI, while overhyped for wrong reasons, is a valid automation technology that has a future and utility.
NFT same as bitcoin, obv

I know, really. And it doesn't matter as far as your interests are concerned.
As we are observing currently and reprecussions of which are yet to hit, but will be felf quite palpably when they do, I promise you.

You vote to fill up the seats so that the guys that are itching to take a meat cleaver to you don't get to get them. Basic self-preservation.
While any progress is achieved through consistent long-term pressure from broad on-the-ground mass movements.
Yes, that's a lot of work, I know.

From which follows that it's actually the rightwinger podcasts that the wife must be listening to that are to blame.
All the while Draino's "solution" would likely be to remove the unemployment relief option. (Hate when those slime call it "benefits")

Nah, it's just public spectacle made of funding some local right-wingers. No need for him to not funnel the money to them – at least in part.

Theofascists want to ban sexuality, so creating a disaster with a pathogen running wild is kind of a wet dream to them.
Not sure if they believe Jesus will let them into heaven for getting a bunch of people killed, or what the calculation is here.
