  A couple of the possible reasons, according to the discussion section of the article, was that 1) women may have historically hunted for smaller prey (birds) thus installing a fear of women and 2) it may be an olfactory response to women.

  Interesting. I never considered the height of them. I’ll have to dig into that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Partially. The wind dies down to almost nothing at night so a long night means a longer time with no wind production.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the wind dies away at night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very helpful. I’m surprised by Canada at 64 %. We have such short days in winter when we need the electricity the most that solar and wind don’t produce that much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In actual production of renewable energy, the order is 1. China 2. U.S. 3. Brazil 4. Canada 5. India en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_renewable…

  Ah, but Canada is Canada. More or less consistent around the world. One of the few countries that is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smartphones made an incredible change. We used to plan trips months or even years in advance. Mailing to foreign embassies for visas, gathering maps, buying travelor’s cheques, making reservations by mail, researching by borrowing books from the library - all took a lot of time and effort.

  Yeah. I’m guessing it’s harder to write songs in tonal languages.

  Yes, but is it using recycled plastics?

  I always found the idea of singing in a tonal language weird. I guess it works though.

  Many countries have pay per use public restrooms. Sometimes there’s someone sitting outside handing out toilet paper after you pay. Sometimes it a coin insert turnstile. Us oldsters call them Johnny Cash.
