In the framework of modern civilian medicine sure.

I'm sure exactly what you described was done plenty of times in ww1 and similar around that era, and seen as perfectly moral and rational.

I think the plane is only $136M in the context of the overall program and it's projected number of planes built over the program lifespan.

The materials and labor for a single plane are far lower.

Could we get a leaderboard feature

I made it to 2 minutes and 5 seconds.

Breathing, heart beats, and keeping the sphincter closed is allowed.

Yes we should. Security through obscurity is a myth

And any above ground stuff is rather visible in any case, and mapped extensively on OpenStreetMap.

Doh, thinking about it through that lens makes it obvious!

There is a lot of romanticism in guitar gear nerd circles, who are big believers in 'mojo'. Things like tone wood, degaussed pickup magnets, nitro paint and so on and so on.

There is zero reliable evidence that these things impact how the instrument sounds or plays, or that guitars age in any appreciable way (maybe acoustics, but certainly not electrics). Manufacturers are cranking out amazing instruments with remarkable consistency, we're truly in a golden age where even low tier instruments are likely to be every bit as good as what the 'greats' played on, which were after all just off the shelf guitars in their time.

This seems like poor strategy for most women. Assuming an individual women is of average attractiveness but going after the most attractive guy they can land, it would be better to go after top 5% 5'11" guy with less competition than land a mid range 6'2" guy.

Unless you're optimizing for sexual desirability of offspring, which essentially means you look for the same characteristics the majority does.

I feel like the biggest problem with climate change is one of collective action.

Lets start with the assumption that it is possible to make a meaningful impact on climate change by significantly reducing our consumption, this requires significant sacrifices to an individuals lifestyle.

I'm talking big pictured stuff like not eating meat, no more international travel, no personal vehicles, less spend on medicine reducing life expectancy, limits on number of children.

Lets say we have credible evidence that if these things are done the situation will improve.

Now whether you take the perspective of being an individual, member of a community or even a country, why would you make those sacrifices if you have no guarantee that everyone else will. It's a big price to pay to 'set an example'.
