I'll see your strawman, and raise you an ad hominem: You're an idiot. Pray tell, if you knew exactly how the situation with BitCoins would work out, why didn't you invest when they were worth very little and sell now? If you know the BitCoin market is going to crash soon, why don't you short on it? Oh right, you're an idiot.

8 month pregnant woman runs a marathon. Most likely the pregnant women would stick with the other slow pokes (aka children or 60+ yr old adults). What do you find implausible? The ability to hunt without use of weapons? You should read the book Born To Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall if you want a good source (the book is a thrilling read also), he describes everything I'm talking about including one African tribe that still practices this method of hunting.

When did I say humans are carnivores? A nomadic party will obviously eat any fruit and vegetables they happen across, but there was a period of time when agriculture was unknown to humans. Anthropological evidence (mostly in mouth development) suggests that meat was part of our diet too, yet during our pre-agrarian years we had no tools for hunting. Given the evolutionary advantages our body provides for endurance running, a reasonable explanation as to how we hunted for our food is that we ran our prey to death. At these marathon distances, women and men do not differ significantly in performance. Furthermore, there is nothing dangerous or stressful about running prey to death as a pack. It would have been a common and simple activity that they were used to doing their entire lives. A deer cannot sustain an average speed of 6mi/hr as long as a human can, it will eventually overheat and collapse. The slowest human in the pack would still be able to outlast the deer, the fact that the fastest human in the pack could do it 30 minutes or even an hour faster makes no difference. And yes, the children did not participate in the chase, so some adults would have to lead the children at a slower pace.

For the activity I'm describing (i.e. running prey to exhaustion for 30+ miles) women and men differ negligibly in terms of performance, so there's no reason to believe women couldn't/wouldn't help with the hunt. The traits that set humans apart from the animals in terms of long distance endurance are the ability to perspire (better at cooling), our upright stature (helps with respiration since humans can take multiple breaths in a stride, whereas quadrupeds are limited to one breath per stride since their strides facilitate the expansion and contraction of their diaphragm), and superior foot engineering (simply more efficient at its job than other feet). If the whole nomadic party is capable of helping with the hunt the obvious strategy is to set up camp after the hunt is complete without having to go anywhere.

MMmmm, no. Humans did not carry the spoils of hunting back to camp until much later when we invented tools and such. Instead, the whole party would go out hunting together, literally exhausting their prey to death by chasing and tracking. This includes pregnant women. The human body is highly evolved for endurance running. Furthermore, running is not stressful, it is a stress reliever.

Sure, that sucks, but your problems didn't start when your song got "stolen", they started when you decided your business model would be to peddle a string of ones and zeroes. While you wouldn't have legal recourse in your scenario, it's not like you are completely helpless in that situation either. A lot of people who bought the hit from the media conglomerate would throw their support to you if they found out you were the original composer. After all, the people who would buy a song (when they could just as easily get it for free since there is no copyright) are the people who are looking to support the creators.

Na, the ice melting doesn't raise sea-level, it's the thermal expansion of the sea that raises sea-level.

If you go far enough it is indeed east of Java :P

I always interpreted "I could care less" to be sarcastic. Also, "let the cat out of the bag" is from the cat-o-nine-tails used on ships to dole out punishment way back in the day.

I hope you aren't counting who you replied to as a "comparison to Hitler" and I'm pretty sure the other comment was a joke. GP's point was that Person of the Year doesn't have to be "good" at all, just influential "for better or for worse". Why do strawmans get modded insightful?

Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees (full circle as it were, leave some room for nostalgia) and walk in a direction (possibly 360 degrees from whence you came) and away to the circle jerk (have a 360 degree potato, if that's what you want).

Your cat probably has a higher chance of getting hit by a car than a coyote killing it, so what difference does it even make? Cat dies? Get another, there's a shitload of them.
