Is an UK apple comparable to an US apple? Whenever I am in the states, it seems like fruit is absurdly sugary.

The very large cost of doing this: desalination is an extremely expensive way to get fresh water. This is less of an concern in the Middle Eastern countries who have oil money to waste.

It also depends on what you call a star and a planet. Consider a young Brown dwarf of 13.2 Jupiter masses that fuses deuterium with Super Jupiter of 12.9 Jupiter masses. Is that a star system with almost 50% of its weight outside the star or is it a binary rogue planet system or is it neither?

In this context, I would assume: overestimating the chance of rare events. So without reason, thinking that the chance of high payouts is common instead of very uncommon.

Edit: So people focus on what stands out--the large prize--or in other words what is salient.
