Panama is mostly because of cheaper rates to go through the canal, if I’m not mistaken.
- Comment on What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm? 3 weeks ago:
Convergent Evolution might explain why intelligent species wind up being bipedal tetrapods.
I think there’s a competing argument here. Certainly not all aliens would be bipedal tetrapods, but the ones who go on to be tool-using, space-faring species probably would be.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but should we be gatekeeping calls to investigate genocide?

No snow.
Siding is stucco, so I’m not worried about wood rot
House is on the north, garage is on the south, the 24’ is along the E-W line, so the sun should track right over the breezeway

At first I thought 5 orders of magnitude, but 10,000x is way off. The closest I can reckon is they mean “magnified 100% five times”, i.e. 2⁵, or 32x, which seems like it could be right.

Attention isn’t eliminated by smartphones, just shortened

Once upon a time people argued penmanship was crucial to building a well developed brain. Same with memorizing epics by rote. Books were actually considered bad for students because they would become dull and lazy if they did not commit all their knowledge to memory.
But memory can largely be replaced by technology, and that enables access to more knowledge than one person could ever memorize. Who knows how society will develop, for better or worse.

On the one hand, the grumpy old man in me agrees completely.
On the other, they’ve been saying this for all of history, since that new-fangled writing wreaked havoc on our ancestors’ children’s memories. And it did in fact do that, but we changed.
Attention span is just going to become vestigial in the general population as it becomes less necessary in an evolving technological and sociological environment, just like memory and penmanship.
