Does not matter. All these natural rubbers are very similar in how they work, you can find a paper on the polymerization in chicle here if you don't believe me.

Yes really, still a polymer: it forms polyisoprene upon drying. You also find the stuff (synthesised from oil, yes, but chemically indistinguishable) in tires and condoms.

Also, chemically they are identical. Plastic made of a plant is still a plastic.

But no-one is hiring professors because they are good at peer reviewing. Spending time on research is simply a 'better' use of your time.

I agree with your timings, but Spain has an obesity rate of over 20%, so I would say seldom is a serious underestimation.

Also, Spain is not a mystical domain filled with elves, of course people are lazy, over-eat, and snack in excess. They are human after all.

No they are not. The literal equivalent would be 'It rains'. Tenses just work slightly different in English.

Come on, this is just a joke adults will understand while children will not. If you think double entendres are censorship, I don't know what to tell you.

But if you don't have the D-ticket, good luck figuring out how the local ticketing machine works haha

Because the plague specifically did not reach Europe before 1347 as far as we know. Now of course there could be plague in Europe before this, and we modern people don't know about it because of poor recordkeeping or something. But it would be a bit surprising. Therefore: weird.

Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes... I wonder what it is.

Please don't! Or at least make it possible to change the app language instead of following the system if you do. Plenty of apps have faulty 'translations' that just make the app unusable. Especially because app text typically has no context, so you get these weird literal translations.

Enjoy finding a literal english translation that corresponds to something I may want to do in your app!

 

I was always kind of skeptical of the type of person that swears Ritalin got them to the finals, bit happy there is now some evidedence as well.
