Imo comparing it to a Disney movie is even a bit disrespectful to that masterpiece of animated cinema. I do get what you mean. But it just has so much more heart.

Exactly, a thin wrapper around results from public research, almost nothing novel or valuable

The top right corner is supercritical fluid, that’s correct, it’s not the same as plasma, which doesn’t really fit neatly on a pressure/temperature phase diagram.

- Comment on Cosmology (2025-03-12) 2 months ago:
In Anglophone countries there are usually other pathways. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, for example, it’s normal to start a PhD with a master’s, but you can also do it with a BSc(Hons) or “honours” degree, which is a one year programme added on to the end of a bachelors. It’s roughly half graduate courses and half research for a small dissertation. A real master’s degree there is a bit more intense than it would usually be in Germany, and would usually involve half a year of graduate courses and a year and a half of independent research for a thesis to be examined by independent examiners. It should really contain some novel work, even if it’s just replicating, comparing and synthesizing existing techniques from the field. Often if people want to quit their PhD program halfway, they are given the opportunity to write up what they have into a thesis and submit it for a master’s, and that does roughly correspond with the work they have already done.

Suits are to keep you safe, glove boxes are to keep the things inside them safe. Also never seen them used together though, you’re right about that.

I agree it’s a huge concern and I also absolutely don’t trust the CDU, and especially Merz, as far as I can throw them. However I’m just saying that the situation is not identical to the USA, there are some points of difference.
- Comment on I love the future. 3 months ago:
The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the
SDPCDU broke that and started working with AfD.I’m also very worried about that, but it’s another point of difference - there were historically enormous protests (tens to hundreds of thousands per city, well over a million total, more than a percent of Germany’s total population) several times recently because CDU looked like it was slightly cooperating with them with an informal and unbinding agreement about immigration. These protests had the support of the churches, the sports leagues. Various senior government figures support outright banning the AfD. It would not be as easy for them as in the USA, where everyone immediately capitulates.

Let’s be clear here, the right extremist party got over 20% which is really bad for sure, but the mid-right party rules out working with them in a coalition no matter what. That’s rather different from where the rest of the republicans and many democrats fall over themselves to do whatever the lunatic fringe says. Further, the American billionaires are strong influencers of these trends in other countries. The core of the disease is the USA even when there are symptoms everywhere.

No, they’re right, it’s extremely unrealistic to lose much weight in fat in one week. Even if you ate literally nothing and hiked up mountains 12 hours a day, which is obviously impossible, it’d be maximum like 10 pounds. Walking a bit and eating normally? No more than 2, that’s already extremely rapid weight loss.
Water weight on the other hand you can easily lose more than 5 pounds in a day.
