Newton's laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.

Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn't been formalized yet.

Newton's laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.

Oh it comes with a headphone jack too. Looks pretty nice.

In America, the housing problem is significantly contributed by over-regulations. In most areas, it is only legal to build single family homes. It shouldn't be a surprise that we can't build enough homes for everyone with only houses.

That's not the only issue either.

I feel it's rude to call them freeloading, without them we wouldn't be able to digest nearly as much food.

Everyone was that was caught was found out because they took a car and got their license plate scanned.

There was other evidence too like clothes and fingerprints, but those probably would not have been enough evidence on it's own.

Leave your phone at home, don't bring anything you don't need, don't leave any items behind, and get rid of recognizable clothing.

And keep it simple, don't draw unnecessary attention.

Probably also ebikes, they take away a lot of what sucks as a bike commuter, or for recreation.

It shouldn't be seen as poverty, as in some cases biking is more convenient, especially in more urban area where parking is harder to find.

No it doesn't, so that's why I didn't speculate on the cause. But the statistics don't lie, and you'd be a fool for assuming you'd be the exception.

As for speculation, guns are tools of escalation. Pulling a gun on robber while half asleep can turn a robbery into a homicide. Not to mention all the stories of people who shoot at intruders who turn out to be police from a no knock warrant and inevitably kill someone.

But it doesn't matter what the cause for it really is in the end. Owning guns don't make you safe.

Statistically if you have a gun your risk of death by homicide doubles, and suicide rate triples citation.

Guns don't make you safe. Dogs are a are an actually effective deterrent for example citation.

Looks like a staged photo, the corner where the wall meets the ceiling makes a hard right angle, which makes me think it's a building and not a plane.

Nah fuck that.

Money is the only thing that matters to the ultra rich, burn it down.

Most tesla drivers can charge at home, or somewhere else with an adapter. They'll be fine.

It's never been about "closeness" it's sun exposure https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-85825-y

More time with screens means less time outside, shocker!

Try and flip the fantasies on their head.

Try looking for odd quirks and mannerisms that bother you and imagine how annoying it would be to be with a partner that does those things all the time.

Look for the particular ways they want to be cared for in the manner and how you would not be suitable to meet them, and that they might be happier with someone else.

Also just spend more time with them, and the infatuation will either fade or you'll realize you do really like them, which is OK, let them know, and it's OK if it's not reciprocal (though this is actually quite hard as a lot of women are conditioned to not believe men who say this).
