Is it an ocean? What makes that an ocean and not the Mediterranean? And is it younger than the Mediterranean, regardless of which counts as an ocean and which doesn't?
The Meditarranean is also an ocean
My understanding of oceans involves a lack of continental crust (which the Baltic and Mediterranean both have). I thought that was the defining difference between an ocean and a sea. And bi-directional connection to oceans or other seas is the difference between a sea and a lake.
Though reading more about it leaves me feeling like the definitions themselves are fluid (heh).
Huh, I didnt even think about the word sea, as a non native English speaker I didnt think of it. I get the argument that the baltic sea and the Meditarranean are both seas and not oceans, but I looked it up too and, yeah the definitions flow into each other (lol). (Also, greetings from someone who lives a few kilometers away from the baltic sea).
Traffic (the book) says most Americans merge into traffic wrong when lanes reduce (from say 3 lanes to 2 lanes for example.)
The right way is waiting until you are at the very end of the lane that's reducing. When that happens up to 60% more cars per hour get through the bottle neck in heavy traffic and accidents resulting in killed or serious injury are reduced by up to 80%.
Bottom line having multiple entry points in a queue with multiple slow down points due to the multiple entry points is the cause of the reduced performance with the way most Americans do it.
Most of the people I know don't live, they just survive
Why do you believe that most people you know don't live and are just surviving?
They do things because they must, and do them quick so they can continue to do the next thing they must do.
While they do these things, they don't seem to enjoy the moment doing it, it's like a robot doing something because it must.
Most of them has so many things they must do that they don't have enough time sleeping, and that cycle just gets worse and worse.
And it doesn't stop; they get old, they become unhealthy, but they must continue to keep up, because they pressure themselves to do so, or others do it or manipulate them to feel that.
They fake or ignore how they really feel, just to adjust to the environment, and actually they don't really know what they feel, only what they must do.
That's surviving in my opinion.
Major sporting events are a popular time for men to schedule a vasectomy because they're advised to take it easy for two to three days after the procedure. For most men, this means sitting on the couch in front of their television, and sporting events offer them something to watch while resting.

I find it hard to believe young guys still plan any aspects of their lives around watching sports events.

I thought your post said NASA at first, and I was really skeptical.
