Looks like forced perspective. I think the hawk isn't looking at the little bird, but from our angle it looks like they're face to face, so we assume they are much closer than they are.

So what would you propose as an alternative? Should we go back to nepotism? I feel like a flawed implementation of meritocracy is better than openly accepting nepotism again.
I see the value in the argument. We assign far too much credit to skill that was actually luck and circumstance. The author doesn't provide an alternative though. Even with this flaw I'm inclined to believe striving towards a meritocracy is still the best course of action until a better option comes along.
When you're starving you don't refuse food because it isn't your favorite, you eat it and try to find better food next meal. The author didn't give us better food, just pointed out we aren't eating what we want.
Recently learned this is a double exposure image. They took an exposure in an unlit room for the lightning, then put Tesla in there reading a book and took the second exposure.
It will be very difficult for someone over the internet to help you troubleshoot without some type of schematic of what you're trying to accomplish.
Thank you for your service in spreading the gospel of the scissors sisters.
I agree with you on most points, landlords are inherently being paid for assuming risk. I believe what is unfair about the situation is that some of the risk they are supposed to assume is actually carried by government programs. The tenants are paying taxes that the landlord benefits from as a form of insurance (risk mitigation) while the tenant does not. This is a form of wealth redistribution in which the landlords benefit.
A prime example is flood, just like you said. FEMA has historically stepped in to mitigate that financial risk. The tenants' taxes essentially pay for "federal flood insurance" for the landlord.
There seems to be a lot of resentment about brands honoring pride month. I get that it's mostly a ploy for more customers, but even so I don't think it deserves the criticism it gets. Support for the community is widespread and mainstream and I think that should be celebrated in all its forms. If this public corporate pandering ever goes away it should be a red flag that the mainstream support has waivered and everyone should be worried.
Doesn't to you! It might to produce. Your bill is averaged.
This is why there is a market incentive to find cheap energy storage. If you can buy at 1x and store till it's 100x... Well...
Honestly, for how much fresh water they hold, I'm surprised how small their watershed is.
Wheat, rice, barley, rye, corn, millet... Even bamboo is grass!
Well done grass. You really won this round.
They had that then, trains.
