Figma. What's figma you ask?

Yikes, it's like everything is going wrong at once. And I don't understand how they can have a high population growth rate when they also have a high poverty rate. Why are these people having so many children?

I didn't know, so I did a quick google. This link looked like it was on point: https://issafrica.org/iss-today/africa-is-losing-the-battle-against-extreme-poverty#:~:text=Bad%20governance%2C%20corruption%20and%20high,inequality%20also%20drive%20up%20poverty.&text=Africa's%20high%20fertility%20rates%20mean,Africa's%20high%20population%20growth%20rate.

>Africa’s inability to reduce its high extreme poverty rate has been attributed to numerous factors. One is the over-reliance on natural resources for growth instead of agricultural and rural development, which characterises 85% of Africans’ livelihoods. The higher initial poverty levels coupled with low asset ownership and restricted access to public services also make it difficult for households to take advantage of growth. Bad governance, corruption and high-income inequality also drive up poverty. >Africa’s high fertility rates mean that economic growth rates translate into smaller per capita income increases. While the extreme poverty rate will likely fall, the number of poor people will rise due to Africa’s high population growth rate

To me its strange, in my country one hundred years ago (more or less) the goverment make the decission that each town must had a different name. No one could have the same name. In the present they are very few cases.

So why does Africa have so much lower per capita than every other continent

This is emotionally risky. If it ends up cloudless in Ohio and stormy in Texas, it would be arguably worst than if the eclipse didn't happen at all.

I lived in South Carolina during the last eclipse and now I'm smack dab in the middle of this one's path as well. It's usually pretty cloudy where I was living, but it was a beautiful day when the eclipse arrived. The reaction of the wildlife was pretty incredible, and it's the only effect that would be largely absent in the desert.

A lot of those are correlated with per capita wealth / economic development.

Come to think of it, the data gaps correlate with much the same thing

Obviously the latter. African countries always seem to be on the far end of the scale on many issues. Like "countries where domino's pizza restaurants exists" or " the countries never visited by a sitting US president"

Ok, do you mean why are there African countries with no data? Or why are African countries towards the unfavourable end of the reported data?

Thank you!

That's a good point

Fixed it for you

I have family in southwestern Arkansas and I'm planning the same thing.

Actually, the best possible average would be 2.5 and worst possible is 14.5.

Oh yeah, sometimes you get stickers or a puzzle or some other crap. If it’s not a little car, you know I’ll be mad I didn’t get that figure of a gnome that “transforms” into a hedgehog by laying it down

Before comments, it was really just a news aggregator that felt a little more democratic. Like most of the internet in '06, more techy stuff made the page. Before subreddits, it felt like a single community of, well, nerds. I came over from Sensible Erection before the great Digg migration, and it was generally thought that the larger reddit got, the more fractured and low brow it seemed.

Wish I could give this a free award b/c it answers a question I had this weekend.

Seems like NCAA bball parity is in full force.

Naaldwijk area. Massive area full of greenhouses.

Sweet 16 is the final 16 teams left in a tournament of 64, the 3rd round.

Seeds are rankings 1-16. There are 4 regions and 4 of each seed. The 4 1 seeds are the 4 best teams in the country.

> Sweet 16.. isn't that the show about entitled kids on their birthday?

LOFL! Well done friend, just made me laugh out f loud!

This seems to work though?: https://dare.fail/#live_metrics

Website ain't working buddy.

It does State of Wyoming but not State of Washington?!?!
