IME it is very rare to find builders who do not cut corners. That's why engineers usually put in safety margins.

Please tell us what deficiency or toxin you have acquired, to attack your brain cells. It's the only explanation for the rubbish you are posting.

Belief is not an explanation. It's an intellectually lazy way to rationalize phenomena which are not yet explained by science. In the Middle Ages, people believed in witches. Do you still believe in them?

The OP compares apples and oranges. The US figure looks as if it is based on the SNAP food program. In Australia the poverty line is 50% of median household income. It takes no account of savings. I am below that poverty line, in terms of income. Living in Thailand, I have two dwellings, two cars, and two scooters. Plus substantial cash savings in Thailand and Australia. It's a flawed comparison, as different metrics are used.

There are people who will pay anything, they are called fans. Their choice to pay scalpers. Another publicity stunt. Wake me up if it is effective.

How do you know you are not messing with your own?

I have been playing golf for 70 years. Please name another sport which has that kind of longevity.

A significant number of humans have the brains of a gnat, and the attention span of a goldfish.

South Korea is one of the world's strongest economies. It employs more scientists and engineers as a percentage of its workforce than any other country. Next.

False. The EU and UK combined have provided more funding to Ukraine than America. The US contribution is mainly obsolete and redundant equipment it was going to scrap anyway.

They don't need accountants and lawyers, they are the ones who got the US steel industry into its diminished state. Along with Boeing's dismal recent safety record. South Korea is a highly developed economy with a strong manufacturing sector, and advanced technology. Heavily invested in STEM, and R&D. It has more scientists and engineers as a percentage of its workforce than any other country. QED.

Please list them. They are laureates. Laurates are esters or salts of lauric acid.

Professional golfers come in all shapes and sizes, but the vast majority of them are much fitter than average.

IIRC both courses need an invitation by a member to play. Never got to Augusta, but I did get to play Pine Valley twice.

Not as bad as Americans, though. My BMI is 24.7. What's yours?

I don't have much free time. There's usually something waiting to be done.

That statistic does not explain why Australian life expectancy is almost 6 years better than America. Cheer up, you are 6 years better than the Russians.

Copying what? Certainly not your ramshackle Electoral College. Most of the Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have copied German and British engines, and improved on them. The Chinese may have copied Tesla. Technically, BYD is superior. Also in cost and quality. My excellent private health insurance in Oz costs AUD 3200 pa. What would yours cost, if the American taxpayer was not funding it for having served in the military? You are in a 30% minority as far as normal BMI goes.

Real men don't eat quiche, and real men don't need lubricant.

To me, it is somewhat ironic the nation with the world's most formidable military probably needs it the least in terms of defence. Oceans east and west, friendly neighbors north and south. It is also self-sufficient in terms of food and energy. The only way it can be screwed up is by its government.

Others need to be in straitjackets.

IME people who don't think golf is a sport are usually quite incompetent at it.

You have the world's highest prison population. 40% of you are classed as obese, 70% are overweight. Mass shootings are a matter of routine. Our medication costs are a small fraction of yours. As an Australian, my average life expectancy is almost 6 years longer than yours. Please tell me what I have to be jealous of, I'm all ears. PS- you also make crappy cars.Only good for driving in a straight line.

Global warming is the Second Law of Thermodynamics in action. Climate change is the First Law of Thermodynamics. About 95% of scientists agree climate change is real. The other 5% probably work for the fossil fuel industry. Globally, less than 1.5% of people have had an education that includes a grounding in thermodynamics. It's therefore hardly surprising ignorance reigns supreme.

Very good against windchill. Probably too hot for the tropics.
