You can't make statistics say anything you want. Problems happen because, either the speaker got the math wrong (on purpose or not), or the listener is getting the math wrong. Learning some basic statistics eliminates the latter, leaving you with just lies and computation mistakes to worry about.
For their previous game, if you turn on "Allow Mock Locations," the game locks you out. There are still easy ways to spoof the gps, but you need a rooted phone so you can install software in a system directory. And you still have to deal with speed limits that would prevent you from going to many locations quickly.
At that point you're spending a lot of time playing a game that is about walking about by clicking on a map and waiting, as if it were the most boring Uber simulator. And despite how annoying spoofers can be, most can easily be ignored.
With Ingress, the previous GPS game from the same company, locations could be removed that were on private property. Although there were also situations where inaccurate location required trespassing that an accurate location would not, and it was harder to fix that in some cases. On the plus side, bars with near by Ingress portals seemed happy to get random groups of "beer-gressers" coming by, just as some churches seem happy now to get more people walking in to play the new game.
Funny thing is, I find a lot of non-Americans I've talked to question or are confused about why the US education concentrates on history as much as it already does. The concerns weren't that learning history is bad, but either along the lines of obsessing over names and dates instead of impact of events, or concentrating on history at the cost of current events and recent history. I can see the point, considering numerous history courses I took, especially the required US history ones, stopped at WW2 due to time spent on older history. The civics course lightly touched upon current events, but only half a year of that was required at high school level as opposed to two years of history.
This video seems to be going over well with the Canadian half of the family. And I like it because it doesn't just look at eastern Canada quirks, like too many videos that would be analogous to videos making fun of the USA by only looking at the South. Both countries are big enough to have a variety of regional stupid quirks.
While I'm not saying I agree with the ban, and I think it should depend upon actual problems instead of theoretical ones, I'm not sure people appreciate how bad cat allergies can be. I certainly didn't until recently. I developed an allergy to cats, despite having owned some for years now, and being in daily contact with them has helped with developed tolerance to the allergens. But after two weeks away for a business trip, I had some bad reactions upon return (... household arguments about whether someone should go to the hospital or not are not fun). I'll put up with it for family, because I like cats, and because the tolerance does help. But I am not near the far end of the scale of cat allergies considering I have had friends and coworkers that would get pretty sick just touching furniture or clothes once slept on by a cat. They're cases aren't quiet as bad as some stories I've heard about peanut allergies (and I don't agree with how some places handle peanut allergies either), but it would really suck for something like that to impact someone using a public service. But again, "would" is a keyword, as I think in a small community it depends on there being an actual problem and not just potential for a problem in a situation like this where you can cross a bridge if you ever actually get to it.
Unfortunately for me in the past, that 20 minute drive turned into 1-2 hours too frequently (or longer on a rare occasion) due to that bridge and traffic backing up. That kinds of undoes the relaxing effect. Beaches in that area always seemed like a cat and mouse game of finding someplace with obscured access, then moving on when signage or general knowledge gets better. Along Bonita Beach Road used to be quiet, then at Barefoot Beach Preserve as it was a little harder to find, and now I wouldn't know where to go to avoid crowds.
Discussion of really old businesses makes me think of the ship of Theseus, or in some cases where businesses change what they do, of old ships that were "preserved" by being turned into barns.
You're short by a couple feet. The largest gator on record with some confidence but not directly measured is ~19 ft. from Louisiana. Scientific studies have directly measured gators up to about 14 ft, and hunting records and sizes inferred from skulls are above 15 ft.
Also, their metabolism is quite low. A quick attempt at an estimate, using 5 kcal/kg body mass from a paper, gives something like 20000 Calories a week, which is how often they typically feed. That is only on the order of 5 kg of protein.
That said, this doesn't look like 15 ft long , and I wouldn't be surprised if it was just 12-13 ft. That is a size I remember seeing in the wild growing up in Florida, but not that frequently, and not around golf courses, which often remove gators once they get above 3-6 ft.
Dry ice is denser than water and sinks on its own. In my experience, it tends to form a surrounding layer of water ice that greatly slows down how fast it sublimes.
Often companies don't wait until an idea is well developed and ready for production. Sometimes patents are for throw away ideas they might come back to. Other times, some companies have quotas on patents. The people, working on the exact type of incremental improves you suggest they should, may not get enough district ideas suitable for a patent and throw out random ideas on the side (or just get bored). For various reasons, the ideas they are actually serious about might not show up in patents for some time.
Don't try too hard to decipher what a company thinks is practical and takes serious from patents, especially for companies large enough to have their own patent lawyers.
Mrs. Gryphon came from Canada too, although starting the process in the late '00s, which has changed a lot from the 90s onward. On advice of a lawyer, we were married before starting the paperwork, and still took almost a year to get a green card, cost thousands of dollars in fees (plus the cost of the lawyer), and took years to remove conditionals on permanent residence status. There is a lot of arbitrariness to it when it is a spouse being brought in as you're judge on how legitimate your relationship is. And later, we found out the hard way, there is enough flexibility in how things are interpreted that her citizenship got denied in what was a pretty straightforward application (sorry, can't give more details). This means more lawyers and fees to maintain PR status now that I have a job in Canada. So we might just let the PR status lapse, which would start the citizenship process over again upon moving back to the US.
I don't know how many people could manage without money and legalese-sense. And judging from how family and friends have reacted throughout the process, a lot of people have no idea what immigration to the US involves these days ("Oh, she's your wife, you can just simply...")
Just don't screw up, as a large chunk of sodium can make a small tunnel falling into the water at the same time as making a lot of steam and gas. The result is a weak cannon that flings the sodium back in the direction it came from.
There is still plenty of dairy in frosting. The weird one is some cats like to lick powdered donuts, although that might still come down to oils in the donuts.
