    'Behavioural adaptation' is the subject and in the excerpt it is said that behavioural adaptation is more efficient than genetic adaptation. I believe 'being immediate and non-random' is a postmodifier but, whilst I am a native speaker, I have not studied English grammar extensively so don't quote me on that. It does not change the meaning of the sentence which is that 'behavioural adaptation is more efficient than genetic adaptation,' but it does give you more information about behavioural adaptation, namely that behavioural adaptation is 'immediate and non-random.'

    Shutting dining rooms down again

    It's reported that the number of restaurants shutting down their dining rooms is increasing in the United States, mainly due to customers who refuse to wear masks and react with violence when asked to do so.

    최근에 미국에서 마스크를 쓰지 않겠다고 하는 손님들 때문에 다시 식당 다이닝룸을 닫기 시작하는 식당이 많아졌다고 해요. 미국에서 다시 경제 활동을 시작하느냐 마느냐에 대한 다른 의견들이 있는 것은 이해가 되는데 마스크는 쓰는 게 맞는 것 같아요. 물론 본인은 건강할 수 있지만, 본인이 마스크를 안 쓰고 돌아다니면 다른 사람들은 '저 사람 코로나바이러스 걸린 상태로 돌아다니는 것 아니야?' 하고 불안해할 수 있잖아요.

    Either or both could be correct depending on the context; do you have a sentence in mind?

    The amount of consumption in Thiland is more than that of Japan. —> Rice consumption in Thailand is more than in Japan. —> The amount of rice consumed in Thailand is more than in Japan. * If from the context it is obvious what you are talking about then you can omit the word 'rice'/'of rice' from the above sentences but it depends on what the previous sentence was. According to data of MAFF, while Japan consumes 7.9 million tons of rice per year, Thailand consumes 11.7 million tons of rice per year. —> According to MAFF data, while Japan consumes 7.9 million tons of rice per year, Thailand consumes 11.7 million tons of rice per year. —> According to data from MAFF, while Japan consumes 7.9 million tons of rice per year, Thailand consumes 11.7 million tons of rice per year.

    It means "Make sure that you do" and it is not an uncommon speech pattern in English. It can be used both as an order and as a warning/advice.

    What I did today

    I baked a chiffon cheesecake. Unfortunately it separated into two layers. I think I should have mixed the ingredients more.

    I'll try it again next time!
