https://www.distance.to/ says all around one hour. Why don't you build railroads in America? Such short flights should not exist.

I think pigs would eat most of the things used to feed the insects, so this step seems rather unnecessary.

Well this doesn't actually explain FFT at all, but it could be interesting to use the circle like thing on speech.

Calcium, not vitamin D.

There is no documented positive effect above 300mg/day.

It isn't counterintuitive. Too much calcium (especially in the absence of mangesium) hurts your bones (and many other things)

Fun fact: The Geneva convention forbids the use of tear gas at war.

I think the best compromise would be a bag with let's say five of each piece; every time 7 pieces are dealt, you add a whole set to the bag.

No need for unnecessary complications - the pice becomes less numerous and less likely to come when there was a flood, and more common and more likely to come when there was a drought. You can even add a set after less than seven pieces, to increase randomness (and thus difficulty) over time.

I like to think of gravity as an anti entropic force.

Logically the maximum entropy possible would be with each particle placed randomly with random momentum, but gravity makes that impossible on cosmic scales, as such a system would soon collapse because of gravity pulling the particles together.

We could see gravity as an entropic limiting force, with entropy increasing statistical forces increasing entropy on the microscopic scale being contradicted by entropy limiting gravitational effects on the super-macrostopic scale.

So... do autistic people smell different?

Yes, I read about it last week or so. It looked like a plate of asphalt though, this one is highly enhnanced somehow.

>How did you do?

I don't know what I'm supposed to see here, but it looks suspiciously like the first photo ever taken.
