Interesting fact about the NM whiptail, they still need to have sex to reproduce for some reason, despite no gene swap occurring.

The definitions often exclude 1. In the case where you include it you could then say a semi prime has exactly three factors.
- Comment on Applications 3 weeks ago:
Presumably if they’re the product of exactly two factors then those factors would have to be prime, otherwise it wouldn’t be exactly two.

It’s less the result of a sensible system of units (like how 1 L of water ideally weighs 1 kg), and more fortunate happenstance in this case.
The formula for hydrostatic pressure* is:
∆P= ρ·g·∆h
where ∆P is the difference in pressure across the difference in height ∆h, ρ is the density of the liquid (~1000 kg/m³ for water, slightly more for sea water), and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
So the reason it works out nicely is because g is a little bit less than a nice factor of ten (9.8 m/s²), and the density of sea water is a little bit more than a nice factor of ten (typically 1025 kg/m³), and 1 atm also happens to be almost a nice factor of ten (101,325 Pa). That’s why the difference between the approximation and the actual* is less than a percent.
*This assumes a constant density of the liquid, which for water is reasonable, however different depths can have different salinities and temperatures in layers which change the density by less than a percent. Additionally, this assumes a constant acceleration due to gravity. At depth, the acceleration due to gravity can be higher, but this also has an effect that amounts to less than a percent even at the deepest point in the ocean.

It’s 6 fathoms deep not 5 fathoms where you’re experiencing two atmospheres, and that’s absolute not gauge, so 1 atm higher than ambient.

“Trust us” lol nobody says that. It’s more like “This is our greatest hypothesis to fit the data. If you come up with something better we’d love to hear it”
