Posterior too.

Okay this is apparently one of those things where you'll get different answers depending on who you ask (even different Wikipedia articles give different answers), but this is a matter of semantics. No matter what you call it, mixing on a molecular level will result in the release or absorption of (in the case of gases a very small amount of) heat.

Wait holy shit you're right.

Shitposts in languages other than English aren't against the rules, and shouldn't be, but can we get a translation? Because most of us got no habla for dat Espaniol.

Their eyebrows also close diagonally, which is obviously evil.

Yeah solutions can have any phase of solute and any phase of solvent. The most common example of a solution of gases is the air, so yeah.

I mean... This is bad, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the OP.

No no, dissolution does generate heat. It's called heat of solvation.
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 4 days ago:
This estimate is also an overestimate according to the paper.
First, much creative endeavour builds upon the past and an extension of term may make it more difficult or costly do so. Were Shakespeare’s work still in copyright today it is likely that this would substantially restrict the widespread and beneficial adaptation and reuse that currently occurs. However we make no effort to incorporate this into our analysis despite its undoubted importance (it is simply too intractable from a theoretical and empirical perspective to be usefully addressed at present).
This means that the real number is significantly less than 15, maybe more like 12.

You just used "tensor" to define "tensor," but also any list of number formulated as an n-dimensional matrix will satisfy this criterion. A tensor is both a linear transformation and an n-dimensional box-shaped list of numbers, but there's nothing such as a linear list of numbers.
- Comment on number box o number box 5 days ago:
"Linear" describes transformations, not numbers.

I mean relativity is elegant enough in its own right; it's just Newton's laws plus the constancy of the speed of light and the equivalence principle. These two additions are enough to make everything an order of magnitude more fucked up, but that's math's fault, not relativity.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 5 days ago:
Nah, sqrt(x) is the principal branch (the one with a positive real part) of x^½, and you can do (-1)^½ because it's just exponentiation.

- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
There's also a good possibility that one of the high ranking military officers will use the opportunity that will arise from the chaos to orchestrate a coup and put themselves in power.
That is, admittedly, a possibility I hadn't considered.
This treaty has been active for 50 years, what would Israel gain from destroying it?
If the treaty remains active then makes sense, but I doubt anyone will care about a peace treaty with a failed state. You know how when a country just falls apart its neighbors go after the pieces? That's the sort of scenario I'm envisioning here. Admittedly my thinking might be overly simplistic, and I should've considered more orderly possibilities, but at least in the Syria-style absolute chaos situation I'm imagining (which after thinking about it isn't as likely as I thought) of I don't see why they'd honor the sovereignty of a state that ceased to exist, in the same way nobody really cares about Syria as a sovereign state anymore.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Is there something on the ground that is not apparent in the media our Egyptian diaspora?
Not really; it's just that I doubt the army will give up power peacefully. Hence civil war or violent revolution. And in both cases it wouldn't be strange if Israel decided to expand into Sinai during the chaos.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
You only say that because you don't know how Egypt is looking like right now. Egypt's economy is the worst it's ever been in decades because of mismanagement, and it's not getting better. We're seeing the government build new bridges and cities using our tax pounds while people can't buy food. They're borrowing money at absurd rates to try to keep the whole thing from collapsing and paying back by selling the counter piecemeal to gulf states while refusing to actually fix anything. People keep having to find places to cut back on food and other essentials just so they don't starve. We can't get enough fuel for the country so blackouts have been going on for a while and it's killing newborns in hospitals. Hell, a guy I know had a 9-hour long blackout recently.
Egypt's economy is in free fall right now and there's not much more room for falling before people starve. Some kind of revolution is going to happen within the next few decades and you know what happens when the people try taking back control from a military dictatorship.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Uh... Egypt did not collapse in 2011. That was a regime change. I'm talking about a Libya or Syria-style failure to keep existing as a sovereign state.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Huh? Are we having the same conversation?
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Uh... I think you missed the part that said "when Egypt inevitably collapses".
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Uh... Have you heard of the word "settlement"?
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 year ago:
Hmm... For a more realistic answer not necessarily. This isn't the first time they invaded Lebanon. I'm admittedly not aware of why they left the first time, but from what I know at least in the short term they're mostly content with the territory they currently control.

Uh... Like the other guy said FGM is an African practice with no origin in Islam. Like go get me a hadith where any early Muslim of note does it.
Furthermore any religion that prohibits women from getting an education above grade-school level, and prohibits them from having their own money, having a career,
Well good thing Islam doesn't forbid any of that then.
- Comment on Young Women Are Fleeing Organized Religion. This Was Predictable. 1 year ago:
That makes more sense yeah.
- Comment on Young Women Are Fleeing Organized Religion. This Was Predictable. 1 year ago:
The stats they're using refer to the increase in women identifying as "unaffiliated" regardless of starting religion.
True enough, but that's almost completely because they've leaving Christianity. Upon reading the title I thought religion as a whole was in decline in the US, which isn't very inaccurate but Christianity is clearly an outlier here.
- Comment on Young Women Are Fleeing Organized Religion. This Was Predictable. 1 year ago:
Can we stop using "religion" to refer to only Christianity? Please?
