Surely there exists a space between us breeding, mass murdering and torturing domestic animals with cruel factory farming on the one hand, and wiping them off the face of the earth on the other.

Wouldn't you say that both extremes constitute disastrous consequences for huge parts of the entire world's biosphere?

How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?

Canada is not a Euro-zone country.

And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.

The point of having an age of consent (in this case 16 in the UK) is not popularity, and not just parental awareness or protection from people in positions of power.

It's a decision by society that kids below this age are incapable of grasping the full consequences of their consent.

Of course the limit is going to be somewhat arbitrary, and you can definitely argue that age of consent laws are bad without being a creep, but you'd have to argue that a 15 year old understands the ramifications of consent.

Thanks, I'll try to be mindful of that! English isn't my first language, so there is surely some nuance to be learned.

The criticism is of course accurate enough. It's even addressed in the books - there is some discussion in the books about "drum sand", but it isn't really elaborated on in the movie.

Remarkably similar to the Icelandic railway map

In any case, removing a street sign is illegal.

Love it. Anyone know a good print and play solution? Only played it online so far, can't get a hold of a physical version.

When we say "half two" we also mean 13:30. It's a pain when in Britain.

And yeah, I guess in pronouncing you'd say 92 as "to'å'l'fems" rather than "to-og-halv-fems".

Technically ready and available now, just not ready to compete with classical computers.

Which, sadly, is a step above what fusion has achieved so far.
