That's not the question. The question is "do a lot of rural folks think people they dislike are getting hurt more than said rural folks are getting hurt?".

My field (cryptography) is unlikely to run into this, despite having some advanced math. There's just not that much use for anything in 2D, and abstract algebra doesn't bother with things as mundane as "numbers".

I want a 16-1200mm lens, with a 300mm front element for f/mount_limited-f/4 aperture size, that weighs less than 2kg and is fully aberration corrected & costs under $10,000. And world peace, while we're at it. That's probably easier.

The US still dominates freight rail.

A US customary mile is 5280 US customary feet. 1 US customary foot is 12 US customary inches. 1 US customary inch is 25.4mm. So a US customary mile is 1609344mm, exactly. It derives from the roman "mille passus", literally 1000 paces, where a pace is the distance between two impacts of the left (or right) foot of a Roman soldier on the march. Quite a few other cultures used a "mile" of some sort even after the fall of Rome, for example the old British imperial mile was 1760 British imperial yards, one British imperial yard predated the definition of the meter but was most precisely measured to be 0.914398415m, so the British imperial mile was 1609341.21mm. Other culture's miles varied even more than this.

Cacio e pepe with macaroni as the pasta shape works fine. Not traditional, but far less heretical than this old repost's creations.

Energy & material extraction also create value.

Some salts smell. Table salt (what's pictured in the meme) doesn't have a detectable smell in solid form, not enough vaporizes to notice. Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate, not sodium chloride like table salt, and they do smell strongly. "Salt" can refer to either table salt or to any ionic compound whatsoever. The latter is chemistry jargon, but then gets used in colloquial terms like "smelling salts" or "salty licorice" neither of which have table salt but both of which have other ionic compounds.

When was that, 1980?

It's tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese. Delicious. Since the one of the first recorded uses of the word "pizza" is for a round bread flavored with rose water & sugar as the toppings, I think "tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese" is close enough to qualify.

Bring together 2lbs flour, 2oz yeast starter, 4oz breadcrumb soaked in warm water, and enough salt. When the dough is made, let it rest, covered in a warm place to rise, as is done with bread. Then knead it again on the table for a half hour, adding in, little by little, 2lbs fresh (unsalted) butter. Knead until all of the butter has been worked into the dough and it has become soft, split the dough up into two or three pieces, and with each make the pizza in a tourte pan which has fresh butter in it. Bake it in an oven with melted butter on top. Make several holes on top with the tip of a knife so it will not puff up too much. When it is nearly done, sprinkle with sugar and rosewater. This pastry should be baked slowly and serve it hot.

Any company using insecure cryptography in any new product or service should be dissolved.

I never cheat in multiplayer. But if a single-player game has a "hacking" minigame, I'm absolutely loading up Ghidra & GDB and figuring out how to actually hack around it. Pretty much always harder than just playing the minigame, but more fun.
