Sorry, geology is green. Bio gets Purple
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week 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? 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.

I hope no school is sound that badly these days
- Comment on Physics 3 weeks ago:
Being able to work with useful approximations is an important and liberating skill for many tasks.
- Comment on Theoretical Physics 3 weeks ago:
I always use the example of driving around town. The fastest route is usually not the surface roads linking A to B along the shortest line, but a route that includes a highway with a faster route. Longer drive length, but shorter overall duration.

- Comment on fossil fuels 4 weeks ago:
There’s a second more obvious component that people neglect in any statement like OPs.
These companies exist because people buy their products. We can blame companies, but fossil fuel use is a collective problem.

Where do you suggest to learn more about what you just said?

He mentioned that roaches wouldn’t eat cucumbers, not pickles.

Maybe Uranus did not get hit by a large impactor in the past century, but Brunini’s sure was.
- Comment on This Captcha 5 months ago:
Warm could also translate to “cozy” or overall “hue”. Neither would necessarily pick the indoor photos. I don’t think you need to be neurodivergent to be confused, maybe just a little more artistically minded.
- Comment on If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...? 5 months ago:
You’re thinking too small. Base 60 (Sexagesimal)…the Sumerians had the right idea.
- Comment on Can I make a volcano? 8 months ago:
Still would be quite difficult. We think about 90% of accessing magma never makes it to the surface simply because it loses overpressure. It mostly comes down to how vicious the mama is and what it’s overall volatile content. All is which is dependent on the magma temperature, access to water, and silicate composition.
- Comment on Can I make a volcano? 8 months ago:
Probably still won’t work unless there is serious overpressure in the area from some dynamic loading in the mantle. First off, no part of the mantle is naturally fluid at depth. The closest is the asthenosphere, at around 200 to 400 kn depth. This is still solid, but more like a soft wax. That too, the material is made of peroxides and has a density of between 5 to 15 percent higher than the granitic crust at depth and limestone that makes up the shallower crust of Indiana. Thus, it would be analogous to a whole in a wooden plank floating on a sea of dense soft wax…the wax won’t likely push through.
However, if you add water to the system while maintaining the heat, you can start to fluidize the gooey rock, and eventually it will reduce density enough to start creeping upwards. If you mix it deep enough and we’ll enough, you can start creating small steam bubbles within that will continue to grow as the rock ascends, further increasing the pressure (like a bubbly bottle of champagne). This will drive further upward pressures allowing for a surface eruption and formation of a volcano.

- Comment on Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state? 9 months ago:
The states are not liberal or conservative, it’s the fraction of rural/suburban to urban areas. It’s extremely rare to find a left leaning rural population and similarly difficult to find a very right urban one. Find a place that suites you, but keep in mind your hood’s politics will largely be controlled by population density engaging-data.com/election-population-density/
