You're getting downvoted for saying something sorta close to true, but not exactly. I agree strongly with everything you said here, though.

Generally, with any complex human-machine interface, you want to cast as wide of a net for accommodation as possible because there are so many variables that come into play.

Like if you are putting together a basketball team, you probably want a bunch of tall dudes, but you never know how many Muggsy Bogues's are out there unless you let everyone play.

For a fighter pilot, would you rather have a female with greater ability to distinguish color, or a male that can pull higher g's? It's impossible to say what specific traits would lead to the best outcome in all possible engagements.

Even things like colorblindness can be a positive in situations because camouflage can stick out to colorblind people. Some types of deafness comes with immunity to motion sickness.

That's not true. With no controls, there is no significant difference in tolerance by sex. When controlled for height, females have lower tolerance than males. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3753357/

Tamara Rubin is a grifter with no expertise who bought an XRF gun to use to scan random objects as fodder for her blog where she gets money from affiliate links. Her wikipedia page talks about a few of her financial crimes. I wouldn't worry anything she puts out.

The act that they performed this under is the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act" which allows the president to declare a national emergency and take some other actions if there is an:

unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States

It specially says the powers:

may not be exercised for any other purpose

The Powers include:

(1) At the times and to the extent specified in section 1701 of this title, the President may, under such regulations as he may prescribe, by means of instructions, licenses, or otherwise—

(A) investigate, regulate, or prohibit—

(i) any transactions in foreign exchange,

(ii) transfers of credit or payments between, by, through, or to any banking institution, to the extent that such transfers or payments involve any interest of any foreign country or a national thereof,

(iii) the importing or exporting of currency or securities,

by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States;

(B) investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, withholding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; and.[1]

(C) when the United States is engaged in armed hostilities or has been attacked by a foreign country or foreign nationals, confiscate any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, of any foreign person, foreign organization, or foreign country that he determines has planned, authorized, aided, or engaged in such hostilities or attacks against the United States; and all right, title, and interest in any property so confiscated shall vest, when, as, and upon the terms directed by the President, in such agency or person as the President may designate from time to time, and upon such terms and conditions as the President may prescribe, such interest or property shall be held, used, administered, liquidated, sold, or otherwise dealt with in the interest of and for the benefit of the United States, and such designated agency or person may perform any and all acts incident to the accomplishment or furtherance of these purposes.

Noticeably absent from that list is tariffs. Under the major questions doctrine, the fact that congress did not specifically delegate that power to the executive branch means that it did not do so.

They actually can't take tariff powers away from him because he doesn't even have tariff powers. He has power over the people who would collect tariffs, and he has instructed them to collect them.

The end result is the same, but I think it's important to keep noting that he can't legally do this.

Pretty much every time there have been head to head competitions between birds and wires, the birds have won.

That sounds similar to lupin beans.

In America, we have pokeweed, which everyone knows is toxic, but people eat it after boiling 3 times (I don't think we have another word for that).

A lot of foraging books talk about boiling and/or soaking to make things edible, but usually it's to remove bitterness/astringency like with acorns. For something neurotoxic, I don't think I'd trust it, though.

Looking at the wiki page for gyromitra, it looks like it's sold for consumption in Finland. Were you taught it was safe to eat?

False morel, despite the name, is not really something you'd confuse for a morel. If the only description I gave you of a morel was 1 sentence long, maybe you'd grab a false morel by accident, but if you've ever seen a picture, or any longer description than that, you wouldn't confuse them.

These people know which mushroom they are foraging.

If you had a territory where you could sort mostly the wealthy people into one "country" and mostly the poor people into another "country", you could make one really happy and one really sad country.

The right side is where people farm and the left is more ranching. Obviously, there's farms everywhere, but out west, it has to be irrigated, which can only be done cost effectively in certain locations.

If you know where to look, you can even make out rivers. The Platte river crosses the great plains to Denver (the big blue area).

In case you aren't American, that line is the Great Plains. It's basically the dividing line between where it historically gets enough rain to farm, and where it's dry enough that farming gives way to ranching.
