"digestible" and "nutritious" aren't social constructs, so no. If your body can transform it chemically in a way that produces energy, it's food. Otherwise it's not. The same things are food regardless of your culture.

Chemists learn it without being taught linear algebra ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why would anyone stop using those standards? You seem very confused about the incentives for adopting standards. Sure, maybe US-driven standards were chosen over other possibilities partly because of political environment, but once you have a perfectly good standard adopted you're not just going to throw it out because the original author isn't cool anymore. You don't need a dominant power to adopt standards.

And for being "slightly political" and "focused on the standards," your post sure does spend the majority of its time talking about only politics and not about standards at all

Not sure where you'd get that idea...

Black population is not that far off from Hispanic (18 vs 12%) and white is barely a majority.

Canada is much more dominantly white (70% vs 56%) with lower representation of every other group compared to US. Everywhere in Europe is much higher than that (80+%).

Of course all this is based on coarse Western racial categories, if you look at individual ethnicities then it's gotta be India or somewhere in Africa.

I mean if we go wide enough, Descartes was talking about it in 1641

He also doesn't ever abandon Sam or even think about taking Smeagols word over his. I get why the story structure of the movie demanded some kind of wrinkle at that point, but that's the one deviation from the books I never liked at all

Yeah that's kinda his point. Their posturing around guns and whatever other machismo is based on no actual experience at all, it's just LARPing

Uh... Ask, I guess?

Your premise is wrong in like... A bunch of ways. We sure as shit do not live in a post-scarcity society lol

Surprisingly enough PDF is a (mostly) plain-text format, so you can probably still change the values in Notepad, unless they just did the whole thing as an embedded image or whatever

Of course it is. People have really fixated on this "Google kills products" meme way, way beyond reality

Gmail is load-bearing software for, like, Western civilization at this point

Can we also talk about how absurd that picture at the bottom of the login page is? It looks like something a warez site would have as its landing page in like 2003. Made by some guy named xXx_l33tz3r0_xXx
