But most certainly less than at a young age.

Alcohol being harmful no matter the age (and most importantly in this study, no matter the quantity) does not mean that it is equally harmful at every age and every quantity.
The study your link is referring to talks about alcohol being a vector for cancer and other health problem at an older age, and disproving the myth along which low alcohol consumption would be good for the heart. It did not take into consideration the age where people started drinking.
Alcohol can have an impact on the brain’s development, which stops at around 32 years old anyway. So it is less harmful (edit : for the brain development) the older you get. Also, the earlier someone starts drinking, the higher their chances are of developing an addiction.
When I was in elementary school, I was kinda mad at how the kids who struggled with school always had some kind of reward when they achieved anything. Meanwhile, if you didn’t have any trouble, you got nothing out of it :(

2·25 days agoMost people actually pronounce it closer to “pâ”, which is the way the french settlers pronounced it. The loss of the sound “â” in France happened in the last century. Québec kept a few sounds that are now mostly lost in Europe. Also, some regions of France sometimes have the same pronunciation as Québec for these words. Look here : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/pas#Prononciation , the “Hauts-de-France” recording is pretty much the same as in Québec. Not too surprising considering that most french settlers that went to America were from the north of France.
An other example of that, is the word “pâte” (pasta or paste, \pɑt\). Most french people pronounce it exactly the same way as “patte” (paw, \pat\). They lost the “ability” to pronounce the accent on the “â”. But everyone still write it with the accent even if French people don’t pronounce it, because that’s the “old” way of saying it.
You can hear the difference here : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/pâte#Prononciation and here : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/patte#Prononciation .

19·27 days agoIt did, but the other way around. French people had a lot of influence in the last centuries from their proximity with other European countries, while Québec was secluded and resisted the english assimilation, that’s why the accent varies a lot. So french canadians speak a french somewhat closer to the language spoken centuries ago than modern French people do.
Compared to american and traditional english, there aren’t as many words that are written differently, as french is more “organised” as a language, so there generally isn’t a need for a distinction. Most differences are a matter of pronunciation. In the end, it’s all the same language, even if a few words are sometimes used differently.

I think the point is that since these dollars are borrowed, they must eventually be repaid with interest, so on the long run, they will be removed from the economy and they don’t produce inflation like if it was free money. Now, if the government can just allow itself to get a greater amount of debt every few years and only pay the interest, it may lose its meaning…
Which you already have to do, because there already is inflation. I don’t see how a UBI would change anything if the inflation stays the same.
Well, the text says “you could actually get deflation because there will be so much abundance produced”. There is some reality where this is true, as increasing the monetary mass would do nothing if the economy (the amount of goods and services produces) increases proportionally. But I wouldn’t bet on a universal basic income increasing the country’s production.
Also, only the rich and upper-middle class would suffer from inflation. Poor people’s financial situation would still improve.
Being a dating little person must be so weird because of that logic.
Achtually, a gas-powered car isn’t that far from an airplane in terms of CO2 emission per kilometer per person. But planes allow for long distance travels that you would never consider doing by car. It also depends how many people are in the car. Planes also produce more non-CO2 pollutants.
If you were to choose between driving X km alone in your car or take a plane to the same destination, both options’ environmental impact would be quite close. But with carpooling, the car rapidly becomes a less bad option.
I think the birds aren’t real people have it all wrong.
Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic “birds” to begin with?
Clearly it’s just a distraction from the real harsh truth.
That’s why they changed the wording for “this creature”, “this enchantment” and so on since Foundation. It’s less confusing (in english) this way. Results in other languages may vary.

And the social contract accepts that cars kill pedestrians and cyclists every once in a while for the sake of efficiency. It’s dangerous, it’s legalized murder, and we choose to accept it.
That’s why it’s dangerous to cross the street.
I’m always amazed to think that my life sometimes only holds to a red light and the car people’s willingness to obey the law. If either were missing, only their will to keep their car clean could save me.
