- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 6 days ago:
Moto G 7 power from 2019. Since it’s quite old there are limited options for alternative OSs, so I’m using e/OS. It has its issues but it runs perfectly well.

In a way, the demise of the dinosaurs is kind of like the fall of Rome (the 5th century one), in that the conditions created by the impact wiped out many of the dinosaurs, but birds survived and are only not considered (by some) to be dinosaurs because of our categorisation, in the same way that the fall of Rome which was completed by Germanic invaders left the Eastern Roman Empire to survive long after that, and despite denial from some, has direct descendance from the Roman Empire.

This isn’t really true though. Although many IE langauges don’t use a descendant of *h₂r̥ktos, plenty of languages do, e.g. French ours, Albanian ari, Greek άρκτος, Welsh arth etc.
