Tardigrades survive impacts of up to 825 meters per second:
It seems sensible to me to eliminate Earth-based abiogenesis first, since all the elements necessary for life exist here. Having said that, each planet or other body is possibly a dedringer for the same conditions in the long-distant past here on Earth and may help to tell the story of life's evolution.

Earth The Size Of A Tennis Ball

Cryptocoins: who pays the huge energy?
Same way as stocks: Buy low, sell high. That's where the volatility is, with the big players buying then dumping.

The intent of Israel bombing AP/Al Jazeera offices
Yes, I looked at it both ways and saw that the possible intent worked both ways. Seems like a serious Israeli faux pas to me. The AP are about the most neutral and respected news organisation anywhere.

Cryptocoins: who pays the huge energy?
It's far too volatile to be a currency as well. It's a game for gamblers and crooks to wash their money. I'm all for privacy in general but I don't think any money system should be untraceable and unaccountable.

Is there a scientific study pertaining to why the ratio of people physically attracted to other people is in favor of unreciprocated?
Maximum7. How many potential people are you too rejecting because you are yourself busy looking at other people? You maybe have a template in your mind of what they 'should' look like, and so you are probably missing cues from those that may be attracted to you. Keep your mind open as you travel through life with regards to people, and don't idealize.

Biden’s $4 Trillion Economic Plan
I've read recently that the GOP don't like the proposed infrastructure bill because there are/were elements in it that they said had nothing to do with infrastructure, like the minimum wage hike. They do have a point.
