The 20% survive at least twice as long, it seems KN has some positive effect.
It’s not like there’s no attrition after the first 5 years. Also, the show started 15 years ago, so the stats are even better.

That’s good numbers, normally 80% of restaurants die in 5 years.
Precisely, so the Federation may be anarchist, even though the member races aren’t.
With what we know about how the Federation interacts with other races and planets, real world logic would indicate that the humans could be (and live) the model that the Federation is built upon.
All this is conjecture ofc, and is probably as much an exercise in understanding post-scarcity anarchism as possible Star Trek lore :p
Which is inherently anarchist :P
As it seems a common confusion in this thread, I repeat, anarchism doesn’t have to be without government or rules, several forms of anarchism are focused on not limiting individuals freedoms and/or not allowing power over eachother (while accepting government and rules not contrary to that). Both of which I believe describe how the Federation works.
That’s one form of it, but there are plenty other schools of thought that overlap quite significantly with the Federation, check out the primer on Wikipedia.
Anarchist doesn’t need to mean without government, simply that no one is above another, which is echoed in how the Federation is structured towards the other races.
I’d say they’re post-scarcity anarchist. There’s no central/communal resource dispersal as needed for socialism, nor the central/communal resource allocation/planning needed for communism.
There’s seemingly no authority outside starfleet exerting any power, nor does anyone ever claim a motivation beyond exploration or study (to do something meaningful). The lack of money and unlimited access to replicated resources pending available dilithium also points to a society without exploitative discrepancies.
The humans also never are reported to have any resource hogging, the only tensions/stratification seem to be militarily (and against external parties also diplomatically), meritocratic, and even then the bottleneck seems mostly to be to not fall behind other races.
I don’t see neither capitalism, socialism, communism, despotism, theocracy, nor fascism, but many aspects of anarchism. If you’ve read anything about The Culture, they openly speak about being anarchist, and it’s very similar to Star Trek.
Damm shame, and it was so flammable too!
Check out figure 2 it shows equivalent cooling in energy units. Meaning how much energy is carried away by perspiration, and showing it for different levels of humidity. I read it as between 5-10% lower at higher humidity.
Compare that to the radiant heat difference (from 32 degrees to 22, as per the cooling chart) which cools you about 286 % more. And with convective cooling we expect even more at higher temperature differences.
(Calculated with Boltzmanns law for 310 K body temperature)
Check the source, net difference is 10%
You are unfortunately wrong in your scepticism, they’ve been used for millennia to great effect, and are even part of how ice was made.
In a modestly arid climate (like a mountainous region) with 30% ambient humidity, you can achieve, a 12 °C drop, that’s a lot more than the ~10% of lost sweat cooling.
Alternate plan (as it would be a shame to waste a dam): Keep the dam, flood the Baltic sea until Kaliningrad is under water?
Estimate a week ago was that a counteroffensive can come next spring earliest. Might just be information warfare, but Ukraine is currently on the back foot.
The Chinese rank 60th in happiness, which is ahead of Greece, Russia, Turkey, India and other market economies.
There are other ways to care for your population than making them compete for basic necessities. It’s unfair to judge by your own lens.
But then again, this is probably much too much nuance for this thread.
I use Newpipe, it’s not as good as Vanced, but better than reVanced. And good enough that I recoil in horror at the stock app.
But price increases of cereals ( bread, pasta, grains, etc.) increased by about 7,5 % last year alone, which is more than the inflation, and more than the increase after inflation.
That’s where people might complain. They still can’t afford food, as food prices increase faster than overall inflation
I appreciate a data supported argument, and love that you actually linked sources.
One thing that I feel is missing in most of the linked analyses is that inflation has also hit unevenly, and the price of basic goods has increased significantly more than overall inflation. Which would explain why households still have less disposable income, also the mean debt burden is much higher leading to loan costs being more common.

Head zaps are only meant to be around for the first 2-6 weeks, if it sticks around longer you should consult your doctor.
That’s also about the same time it’s supposed to take for you to feel some relief, and through that be able to actually improve your situation and learn resilience and strategies to manage your symptoms.
Make sure you take your dosage as prescribed for the whole period, it takes time to build up the ssri levels in your body, and the sooner they get up to par, the sooner the zaps stop, and you can get started getting better.
At least once you can
