A key role of the stomach is to store food and slowly release it into the small intestine, kind of like a funnel. The stomach also releases some chemicals that breakdown food while it's sitting in the stomach. The intestines are where most of the nutrients are pulled out the food and into your body.

This will be unpopular but I'd say that having 2,000 employees that are easily disposed of is also a result of upper management of a startup not understanding how to staff a company.

​

For your example hardware can generally be outsourced, once an organization reaches the point that owning hardware is cheaper outsourcing services like HR/Payroll is still more effective. However startups are often run by inexperienced management that can't min/max. When times get tough they pull in a consulting firm that make some recommendations that end up with a few thousand layed off.

I'll add consulting firms are a waste of time, a google search and 60 minutes will give you the same advice as a consulting firm. And the consulting firm will charge $1 mill plus easily.

Spacesuits and seats are all custom to each astronaut, the seats are effectively moulds of the astronauts to help deal with the high G loads. It's not as easy as just sending up the capsule.

The astronaut would never get to the parachute step, they'd burn up during entry.

While your statement is true, one of the great Allied intelligence accomplishments of WW2 was tracking the serial numbers on German equipment and estimating production output. Because the Germans didn't obfuscate serial numbers the statisticians working for the Allies were able to gauge German industrial output with incredible accuracy.

I'm curious as to if there is a monuments to any of the 20 Louisiana or 18 Arkansas Union companies in their respective States, since it is 'heritage'?

Think of DNA as the blueprints for a house, down to flooring and paint color. Everyone is made from two sets of blueprints, for some features the blueprints compromise like blue paint and yellow paint becoming green paint for a room, and sometimes one set is dominate like tile floor instead of carpet. Children get a random set of blueprints from each parent.

So a mother could have green paint because of a copy of instructions for yellow and blue paint. But she passes along the instructions for yellow or blue paint, which then mixes with whatever the father contributes which might be white paint. So the children could have a dull yellow or light blue paint. With millions of pages of instructions it's unlikely two siblings would be identical but they will often share enough of the same traits to look similar.

And everyone once in a while something really weird happens and the instructions to build a window get spliced onto the instructions for a roof and then you get a skylight.

Make broth or stock from anything inedible.

Shareholders need to start voting out the board and replace pretty much the entire C-Suite.

The relative velocity at GEO altitude but in the opposite direction would be around 6km/s with very brief observation periods which would make determining anything about an object difficult. Going 'with the flow' so to speak would take longer to see everything but relative velocity is lower and longer observation periods, which makes determining an object's orbit much easier.
