Didn't we detect DMS (Di Methyl Sulfide) a few years ago, that caused quite a stir, esp in the press, is this related to what has been discovered here.
This is an interesting discovery, as we have ruled put life on Venus, we need a few more missions to Venus to learn more.

Our water ways are being allowed to be polluted with untreated sewage with remedial action slow to happen and at a cost to tax payers. This policy in EU to monitor water for chemicals and microplastics and make polluters pay is not yet being taken up in UK 😢🧪 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/22/england-wont-adopt-eu-river-pollution-rules-for-pharma-and-cosmetics-firms?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Guess what improves school attendance rates, delivers better health outcomes, improves equality, and on top of all that saves money?
Yes, free school lunches.
Fiddling with the programme is nothing but intentional punishment of people NACT don't like.
I really hope journalists are paying attention and will ask some very hard questions

The assassination attempt on Bill Clinton, which appears to be one of al-Qaida's earliest attempts to strike the U.S., was mentioned briefly in books published in 2010 and 2019. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/24/world/clinton-assassination-plot/ #worldnews #billclinton #us #philippines #alqaida #terrorism

A halo Coronal Mass Ejection CME, associated with an X1.1 flare, was detected earlier today. A halo CME is one headed for earth.
The CME is expected to arrive at Earth late on 24 Mar through 25 Mar. Periods of G2 (Moderate) storming are likely on 24 Mar and periods of G3 (Strong) storming are likely on 25 Mar.
Keep an eye for strong Auroras Sunday night.

And they did nothing, same as they knew about the post office problems and did nothing.
What ELSE are they hiding?

“We are at risk of a Wild West scenario due to the rivalries between competing space agencies and commercial interests. … A new International space treaty is urgently needed.”
I can't get to article due to paywall, however how many of these bullies go on to CEOs who get where they get to by being nasty and bullying others. We do hear a lot about this sort of behaviour. Granted to get to where you want to get to, you need to be confident, assertive, ambitious and work hard. THis surely should not involve bullying and pushing others out of the way to get there.

I think the population is more 7 billion (or maybe 8) but i still get your point, numbers for this thread a probably just academic.
As people retire from the workforce, that leaves gaps lower down the workforce to replace those that retire. A lower birthrate means less people to take up jobs in a few years. We are already seeing this.
Granted if we didn't have such inequality then everyone would be able to find good employment as they would also have access to education to help build the skills to fill those jobs.
Indeed, I think those who suggest that AI can replace actual teachers probably don't know anything about schools or teaching.
Which is worrying if they are trying to change something.
They have teachers on Star Trek, which while only a TV show, demonstrates Gene Roddenberry view of the future didn't include replacing human teachers, despite tech advances.

@zleap No chance AI can replicate what a trained professional educator does.
