Remember that rhubarb leaves are actually poisonous due to oxalic acid (I've seen quotes of 2-5 kg od leaves being a lethal dose).

Why don’t more plants evolve towards the “grass” strategy?
Grasses have a trick: Grass blades grow at the base of the blade and not from elongated stem tips. This low growth point evolved in response to grazing animals and allows grasses to be grazed or mown regularly without severe damage to the plant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poaceae#Description

In The vital Question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vital_Question Nick Lane is arguing that the eukaryote symbiotic cell (archea host, bacterial mitochondria symbiot) leads, via sex and the requirement for gene compatibility between the small mitochondrial genome and the host nuclear genome, to a "best fit" pressure on organism with extreme metabolism. Simplified, "Heartbeat hypothesis" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-of-living_theory) doe snot apply to, say, birds, that have extreme metabolic requirements (= flight). The fact that, among mammals, is bats that fit the same longevity may indicate that the mitochondrial-nucleus gene match idea could be right.

Very much so. Besides adaptation like Human Echolocation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation), there is also active research for devices to help. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_substitution#Tactile%E... for example, and there are videos of the various devices in use by blind people, eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s1VAVcM8s8

Evolution, because no other phenomenon can drive the required complexity to reach 'life'. Natural selection works by inheritance and mutation. Things that can create copies of themselves with mutations that allow selection to act on, this list is short.

I cannot imagine how P could be true; therefore P must be false.
The cost should also account for the work put in and the years of experience and know how to pull it off. It cost you $10, but it would cost me several hundreds or even thousands to pay experts to do it for me.

KFC has closed 750 of its 900 UK outlets after delivery problems meant they ran out of chicken.
Last week, the fried chicken chain switched its delivery contract to DHL, which blamed "operational issues" for the supply disruption.

Swedish Vikings extended mostly toward what is now Russia and Ukraine, using Volga, Don and Dniepr as major communication/transport channels [0]. This brought them into contact with the Khazar Khanagate at the mouth of Volga [1] and the Volga Bulgars [2] (both muslim at the time). When Vladimir (half viking) had to choose a religion for his Kievan Rus, Islam was one of the choices [3] (rejected because it would forbid the joy of drinking, see link).
So there was ample cultural contact with Islam, a religion actively proselytizing. It lasted about 150-200 years. That some influence made it back to Sweden should not be surprising.

The author is not even mentioning the reason Web apps become prevalent, even in B2B and Enterprise: deployment. Not having to deal with upgrading hundreds of workstations to the latest release.
Once I've read an excellent book, The Art of Multiprocessor Programming [0]. All examples in the book are in Java. After reading it, when thinking about some of the solutions and algorithms presented, I quickly concluded that deploying them in C/C++ would be an order of magnitude more complex, because of 'memory reclamation'. So yes, I think the OP makes a good point.
