  And wtf is Neptune doing in second place.

  Pluto and the Kuiper belt.

  Note that Saturn is relatively close to Jupiter, while Neptune is far from any other large planets. So while it is smaller, it dominates a much larger part of the solar system.

  If an army is dumb enough to offer me a permanent position when I’m 60, I’d take it too (then immediately retire and live off the pension).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sectors like pharma require enormous R&D budgets. If you have a free market with many companies, each company will have only a tiny marketshare, and therefore only a tiny budget. So you can’t do without the megacorps. The solution is for the megacorps to be run by the government / non-profits / trusts, or, if that is not possible, for prices to be fixed by an independent regulatory body.

  They said:

  1. Alkaline water won’t change your body’s pH.
  2. Changing your body’s pH would kill you.

  Since alkaline water does not change body pH, it would not necessarily kill the drinker.

  They live in areas that are covered by snow for at least part of the year, such as the Himalayas, Tibet and parts of Central Asia and Mongolia. The animal itself can vary in colour from cream to grey or tan.

  So that’s why they’re called voids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gameplay? Xiangling (Genshin) - She does more damage.

  Story? Focalors / Furina - peak character and peak storytelling

  This silly meme tells you everything you need to know about Xiangling (apart from ‘every team becomes 10x better with XL in it’) and everything Furina wants you to know about her.

  There is one kind of prison where the man is behind bars, and everything that he desires is outside; and there is another kind where the things are behind the bars, and the man is outside.

  you cannot prove a system using the system.

  Doesn’t that only apply for sufficiently complicated systems? Very simple systems could be provably self-consistent.

  1. If you build infrastructure people will come

  2. A 15-hour journey sounds perfect for an overnight service.

  Adding more hydrogen will make the sun burn faster, so I guess spraying water will extinguish the sun a little earlier than it otherwise would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We keep the entomologists in the basement.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many insects get infected by bacteria of the genus Wolbachia, which modify their behaviour to make them go towards their predators. The Wolbachia complete their life-cycle in the guts of the predator.

  Nature being nature, some insects have also evolved symbiotic relationships with Wolbachia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the living dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.

  Source? Eusociality does not involve any sort of ‘hierarchical pecking order’. The requirements are co-operative childcare, overlapping generations and division of labour.
