It depends on what you want to call pakicetus, I think it looks kinda dog like.

The DNA may tell an entirely different story.
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 day ago:
Dunno. I said the former were sea doggos because they all evolved from some wolf-like creature
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 day ago:
Never heard of them
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 day ago:
Cetaceans evolved from a wolf like creature, not a bigine like one.

That’s certainly an option, but right now it seems most space agencies are totally ignoring Venus as a possibility, and are focused on a Mars colony.

You can have severe core damage without any nuclear reactions. A meltdown is severe core damage caused by a nuclear reaction that got out of control.
There aren’t “steam explosions” in physics. There are chemical reactions that cause an explosion, pressure buildups that cause an explosion, and nuclear explosions.
The steam was a pressure buildup that caused the incident resulting in an initial pressure explosion. The thing that “melted” the core of Chernobyl was the hydrogen exploding, hence a chemical explosion. Had it been a nuclear event that melted that core, neither Kiev nor Moscow would be inhabitable. The capital of Russia would be St. Petersburg, and Ukraine wouldn’t exist, as well as several other Soviet Oblasts in the area.

That was an Army test reactor. The Navy has a spotless record, so far.

When the melted bit, caused by an uncontrolled nuclear reaction, escapes containment.
- Comment on Whales is whales 2 days ago:
Whales, dolphins, porpoises, and orcas are all sea doggos
- Comment on rollin' coal 2 days ago:
Chernobyl is a big lump in a sub basement, but that was still the result of a chemical explosion, not a meltdown. My point was that the only meltdown incidents have been caused by the US.
TMI is a bit of a sticky wicket, because as you say the roda did melt, but we got it back under control before abything more than some steam escaped containment.
- Comment on rollin' coal 2 days ago:
It may still be classified. I learned about it in Nuclear Power School in the Navy

A hell-sphere that would be easier to fix than Mars, which is an entirely different type of hell-sphere. Just toss in enough ice to make eventual oceans and some cyanobacteria, and it should calm down in a few hundred thousand years.

Pluto is nice and colorful

The part that I’m amazed by is that no civilian seems to know about the TVA meltdown. It’s the only full meltdown we ever had, and the Army Corps of Engineers lost all access to nuclear power because of that incident, as they intentionally melted it down to test China Syndrome. This was in the 50s. They did build the thing inside of a mountain to contain all the radiation, but had the physicist that came up with China Syndrome been right, that wouldn’t have really mattered. They also could have just done the math to figure out that, yet again, the physicist in question understood physics just fine, but lacked in mathematics.

This seems to be positive news on that front.
Are we really gonna have to have a time travel based Star Trek Movie for all the species out there to manage to get around to fixing climate change?

- Comment on A conversation with my wife 5 days ago:
My mother scandalized the Navy nurses by refusing to allow me out of her sight for any reason including a circumcision. She said there was no need,.as she loved every part.if me, and wasn’t going to be staying in the hospital one second longer than necessary. The doctor had to shoo the nurse out of the room while she was objecting that was not standard procedure.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 1 week ago:
More, “let’s shit on rich assholes that pretend to invent shit that they had nothing to do with.” Edison at least may have had one original thought with the incandescent light bulb filament, but even that one is debatable. Musk is just another rich fuck, like Edison, that has come along to buy and claim credit for tons of shit he never even tangentially thought of.
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 1 week ago:
More like a champagne bottle than a cannon really. The concrete/asphalt cork will just go flying and barely slow down the eruption. Might make the initial part of the eruption a bit more “spurty,” since there’s bound to be a ton of kinetic energy behind that cork being ejected.

In the US, they have much higher medical bills than the younger crowd. Outside of the US it doesn’t make any sense
