When studies are published talking about “attention span” decreasing they mean the amount of time people spend paying attention to one thing. They don’t mean people’s capacity for attention is decreasing.
I’m a bit surprised to see this myth is still around, but looking at the source maybe I shouldn’t be
The problem has never been availability of minerals.
It is the environmental damage from the polluting extraction process and lack of operational know how and trade secrets to do it efficiently.
An often overlooked competitive advantage China has is lack of environmental regulations
It would never happen. So it must be much less appealing than cocaine.
What abuse are they seeing with adderall? What I hear in casual conversations is that people are abusing it to learn things. Is that what the DEA was seeing too?
Your product gets, what? Max $2.50/# retail?
That ADHD is over diagnosed?
That it doesn’t require tailored interventions or advice?
That social media is exploiting interest in ADHD to provide low quality advice?
Or something else? Can you clarify your point?
There is no term limit for PM or members of parliament.
They stay on until they lose the support of their party.
He lost the support of his party due to his extreme unpopularity and the impact it will have on the future election. As seen by polls and bye elections.
More often the leader loses party support after an election loss.
However in this case, a loss is so likely and expected to be so bad that his party would rather go to the polls with a different leader.
Often that happens after a devastating election loss.
In this case it is happening because of his extreme unpopularity before the election and his parties hope of improving their election prospects under a different leader
Tip for students: do well on your first assignment. The better teachers will give you the benefit of the doubt for mistakes on your future work. The bad teachers will just give you the same grade.
Having older siblings and friends with older siblings and resubmitting their essay is eye opening.
The process described sounds like it is a lot more work than just answering the questions using knowledge.
Humidity doesn’t guarantee that something will rot. It makes it more likely.
The item will need to be protected from the natural environment. Or stored in a location that is an exception to the general climate.
Compare that to the Middle East. Where the natural climate assists in preservation.
Hot and humid climates result in (historically)rapid decay of plant and animal based writing surfaces
I’d expect that with 3D printing you can even print the spruce and risers.
So it’s nothing new, and not anything that isn’t in practice and part of basic procedure
> And they underscore the importance of adhering to clinical guidelines calling for firm support on a desk or other surface when measuring blood pressure, the investigators add.
Regarding the bread price fixing scandal, that ended 14 years ago. It ended when internal executives reported it.
The current anger and activism is over the post Covid price rise in food. No one is saying that that is due to price fixing, or collusion. Except random people in forums or fringe bloggers with phds from unknown institutions.
There is actual price fixing. But it is t the grocery stores. It’s the dairy producers. But politically they apparently aren’t a good target.
2. No one, other than random people in messages forums, is alleging collusion or price fixing. No one at any university, not the government, not the media.
3. The government’s investigation, which many of the conspiracy theorists site as evidence, shows a lack of competition led to 1 or 2 % increase in price over 12 years, and the vast majority of the price increases was due to things like war in Ukraine, Covid restrictions, fuel prices due to energy crisis.
They don’t need AI or analysis.
Canada has record immigration levels. And at the same time cities across the country decided, with the support of voters, that new residential development can not be on undeveloped lands. It must be on previously developed lands and increase density
Of course redevelopment is more expensive, takes longer, requires more consultation and planning.
The result is a severe shortage of housing.
Instead of solving this with suburban sprawl, which isn’t ideal but is necessary, politician, voters, and density ideologist choose to blame a scapegoat.
Landlords are an obvious candidate. Adding AI to the mix makes it a trendy story.
