Got me

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

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

I concur

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

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

- Comment on Comparative anatomy 2 months 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.

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". 2 months ago:
Named for a dude’s wife, Charlene, and shorthorns into an appropriate mythological figure

Did you try jiggling it?

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

- Comment on Is land inclination included in area calculation? 4 months ago:
those fiddly atoms and quarks
- Comment on Is land inclination included in area calculation? 4 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.

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" 5 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" 5 months ago:
It’s both!
Jurassic: Giant Lizards --> Cretaceous: Giant Birds

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

…should have put the mantle in rolls.
- Comment on I need to do laundry 6 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 ).

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

Sorry, geology is green. Bio gets Purple
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 7 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? 7 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 7 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.
