I don't think the article asserts that the better bird vision is primarily due to the absence of occluding blood vessels, although that is an advantage.

Scientists noted that the bird eye produces good results with a less efficient process. This article is only about the explanation for that. Presumably they would have been just as interested if a human level eye also operated without oxygen.

What do you mean by "Zionists"?

The definition of Zionism is: people who believe Israel has a right to exist.

So we're all Abolitionists? Pakistanists?

I don’t understand your reply. What does Pakistan have to do with anything? Abolitionists? Abolish what, Israel? Sure, but I’ve never heard anyone refer to themselves like that.

The point is that the term Zionist makes as much sense as Abolitionist. Abolitionists succeeded. Israel exists. Pakistan exists. If you support the extermination of Jews and the country of Israel, just say so. Pretending that "Zionist" means something is brain dead.

No one needs to be exterminated, they can just leave. And yes, I fully support (and demand) Palestine be returned to the Palestinians. No one is hiding from that position. Nazi Germany no longer exists and Israel will follow the same fate.

If you think those situations are even remotely similar, something went horribly wrong for you at that school.

Maybe normal height grills will also make a comeback. We can dream.

It's surprising that there's enough of a market for a fan in any alternative color that it's worthwhile to spend this amount of development time on it. There are enough marginal fan purchasers who don't buy the original colored ones and will buy the black one?

Or because the possibility of profits incentivized invention.

All three of these theories can be true

In which case the market is working as intended.

If all three are true then the market is 2/3 working as intended and 1/3 held back by patents that aren't being licensed out enough.

Alternatively, if all three are true, 1/3 are held back because of the lack of incentive to develop an invention.

Is someone saying otherwise here?

YahooTube’s comment is heavily implying that the market systems in-place stifled invention via patent restrictions.

Yes, but isn’t that working as intended?

As we can see by this thread… It’s heavily debated as to whether the intentions we should be following are those of long-dead forbears, or the will of the people, and in the latter, which people.

> So if you’re interested in keeping honey for hundreds of years, do what the bees do and keep it sealed

Doesn't this make honey somewhat less unique? Aren't there many foods that will keep for hundreds of years if kept sealed?

Most foods taken from nature will still rot in their naturally-sealed forms. Pressure canned foods last a long time but use far more robust and energy intensive processes than a thin layer of wax and "the way that it is" to seal and stabilize the contents.

Ferments could be an outlier but usually dance on the edge of rot by design and can last longer than the raw cabbage or milk or meat they start from, but like honeycomb, they must be carefully stored.

The seal for honey has only the role to prevent it to absorb water from air.

As long as honey retains its original water content, it will not spoil.

In sufficiently dry air, you could keep honey without a seal.

For most sealed food, the integrity of the seal is much more important, because it must prevent bacteria and fungal spores to land on the food.

Yes. Good episode about fake honey and its interaction with almond growing: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/beeconomics-101/

I recall a comment from somewhere that it was cheaper to put up a large monitor over a hole in the wall than to pay someone to patch it...

You can put an OLED TV over a hole in the wall and it's cheaper than getting someone to fix the drywall.

Haha, that actually sounds plausible, but, since monitors are backlit, your hole will be glowing.

Nobody outside a gas station wants a glowy hole.
