SaltyJesus posted:This is interesting, the Serbian word for "to repent" is "pokajati se" ("se" is just the reflexive part of the verb). The repentant ones would be "pokajnici". I suppose it could be an older word that escaped Francization of the Romanian language? Slavic languages share a Proto-Slavic origin of that particular word "kajati", which means "to punish". This word in turn hares a genealogy with Greek and Indo-European words "tinó" and "cayate", respectively. It's pretty clear that "pocaiti", "kajati" and "cayate" are one of the cases when words share a very clear common history.

Is that a politically loaded map, because for some reason the USA is the only nation in the "best" category? I'm just going to quote this from the Eastern Europe thread: OddObserver posted:Oh god, CNN: Note that Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are in reality only 16 kilometer apart (according to the internet at least). And of course, the Ukraine recapturing cities in the Russian controlled Crimea would lead to much different news.

If "access to alcohol" is just "number of counties that allow alcohol" instead of weighing by actual population access then that makes the whole thing pretty silly.

Subsidies and low minimum wages compared to other rich countries probably help keep things cheap in the US, while taxes in for example Europe widens the gap further, even if this map is not entirely truthful.

It's an index of various factors, the methodology is in the paper's supporting information. Some of it sounds a bit suspect, but I don't know much about psychology.

I heard a stat that says New England has 2 million more trees now then it did in 1900. Ironically we can thank the Industrial Revolution for partially saving the environment.

Yeah, if you're looking for the culprits its the Britons/Romans/Saxons/Normans who chopped down most of the trees. In fact some of the first conservation laws were put into place by medieval kings because they wanted intact forests they could get their hunt on in. I seem to recall reading something as an undergrad about how the "discovery" of North America saved the last scattered bits of forest in Europe. Really huge trees for things like roofing and sailing ship masts were easier to just ship across from the Americas than drag out from the remains bits of woodland on the continent.

All over the Northeast (pretty much wherever you see Eastern White Pines grow) you'll find tons of roads named "Mast Road" for this reason.
