Drinking is definitely worse. Like, talking is bad sure, but drinking is much worse.

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn't find any, sadly

The horse is proud of what they did. Sick bastard. Even signed the photograph.

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

People really think this. Most peoples knowledge stops at "evolution is when thing become better". And people that do realize don't talk about evolutionary pressure in the gut microbiome in the comic community.

Just because I was curious: Sony comes from sonos, sound in Latin. Nike is the ~~Roman~~ Greek God of victory. Lego is is a Danish abreviation for "play well". Cisco comes from San Fransisco. Adobe is the name of a Creek near the founders house.

ESA is not an internet provider, and also not a surveillance company? Or at least, not that I know of.
