  Got me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiger Predators⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even on the same continent. Hippos are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. Pretty big desert in between

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculatable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why it never worked for me. I assumed CE was Clear Everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have what it takes to become a geologist?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I concur

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explains a lot...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most creatures are a tube. Food goes in one end and out the other… Well, not starfish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explains a lot...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We all are… Well, unless you happen to be a starfish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science fact⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’ll call you tomorrow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comparative anatomy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass per volume is density, and I suspect the Trex and kangaroo are similar (~1000 kg/m^3) so yes they’d both bounce in that case. I think what you’re looking for is surface area to volume, which decreases rapidly as an object gets larger while maintaining geometry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That same enlightenment moment came to me as well long ago as an Intro Geology student

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personally I prefer NASA's pronunciation, which is "charon".⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Named for a dude’s wife, Charlene, and shorthorns into an appropriate mythological figure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lowest bidder quality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And the vent still leaks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Biden ever release Trump's Resolute Letter?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s being audited

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Launches⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, we all will. We all came from a sun, and will all return to one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Got You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you try jiggling it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Curse of Knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try being a geoscientist… So, so many blurry photos of rocks folks’ kids find in the backyard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cowstsnts x and cowsine x⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘’’ Y = - cos(X) ‘’’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is land inclination included in area calculation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  those fiddly atoms and quarks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is land inclination included in area calculation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. It’s a flat approximation. The short answer is that once you take account for topography, your answer will always grow with surface resolution, and thus the actual surface area of rough topography is undefined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dr. MURDER⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is fair. It is the medical profession that took the name from the academia. Unfortunately, it’s come around to the point that some US states are now banning the use of the term for some higher level degrees to avoid confusion in the medical profession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did we switched from "Dinosaur are giant lizards" to "Dinosaur are giant birds"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  *over 100s of Millions, but what’s an extra zero amongst Internet friends

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did we switched from "Dinosaur are giant lizards" to "Dinosaur are giant birds"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s both!

  Jurassic: Giant Lizards --> Cretaceous: Giant Birds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jinkies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they define a function that’s fair. I’m of the firm belief that data are points and models/functions are lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transformations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One is a reversible operation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to do laundry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …should have put the mantle in rolls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to do laundry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that part is true. We see these huge seismic anomalies at the core-mantle boundary that many think is a “slab graveyard” (e.g. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…/2020GC009396 ).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m down with that (or possibly up for it)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pick your side⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, geology is green. Bio gets Purple

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you 98%. My only gripe is that nobody don’t like ravioli.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does color change how hot a laser can get something?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So where do you stand on infrared lasers? Light is already a junk term for the EM spectrum that we can see, otherwise holding no specific importance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Megafauna⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like an eagle to me. At least in North America, Bald eagles can be considerably larger than vultures. Oh and baldies are also carrion eaters.
