Human is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.

I think people kind of ruined entropy with all that disorder crap. The simple conceptual explanation is that entropy represents the energy that is unavailable to do work. The more entropy a system has the less work it’s capable of doing, which ultimately means the less can happen within that system. Entropy always increases globally, because anything you do is something that happens and anything that happens means less energy available to make other things happen. The complex esoteric interpretations might have some conceptual value in specific circumstances, but like a lot of science communication the rigorous scientific definitions don’t get communicated, so now we have nebulous concepts like order and disorder floating around that just confuse people more than anything.

As an engineer this is a comically incorrect take. Absolute zero is useful as an absolute reference in the same way zero of anything is. Try doing anything more complex than high school physics and the practical necessity for an absolute temperature reference becomes obvious. For fucks sake they even bothered to make an imperial version. Rankine is just Fahrenheit shifted to have zero be absolute.

I think you might be cutting a little hard if you’re having such intense feelings about food. Hope you can find a way to fit some comfort food into your diet.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this instance, but almost every single image you guys upload takes forever to load, if it ever does. I suspect it’s small and getting a perpetual hug of death, but dam. Makes me feel like it’s the late 90s or early 2000s with the load times.

I hear they’ve got quite a big ball of twine

As someone raised by Christians I’m glad you made it out too.

I just want to say that string theory is in all likelihood complete bullshit and I’m tired of people acting like it’s not.

Fire is a natural and necessary part of many ecosystemsm. It keeps parasitic insect populations down, stuff like ticks and chiggers, and some plant species rely on fire to prepare the soil for seeds and even is required for some plants to release their seeds. In dry ecosystems like the western USA it also consumes old dead plant material, reducing the fuel available for future fires and reducing fire severity overall. Many foresters and fire fighters advocate for increasing prescribed burns, essentially forest fires that we light on purpose in cooler and wetter times of the year to consume the fuel without risking a catastrophic fire that is difficult to control. I just think that’s neat.

I was going to make a speed running joke here but it made me sad so you get this instead.

If you make a bootable linux usb drive you can do whatever you want with all windows stupid files without even having to install linux.

I mean it’s not a secret. It’s lead. There’s lead in the water down there.

I’d just like to say this is categorically false advertising if there isn’t an actual hat inside. If they included extra foil for the hat the amount listed on the box would be incorrect. If they didn’t include extra foil, or the label said the correct amount of foil, then there’s no free hat. Those are completely mutually exclusive cases, so if there’s no hat, easy false advertising lawsuit. You deserve the free hat they said you were getting.

If the irrational hatred of gay people is similar at all, these people are closeted trans people inflicting their hatred of themselves and their own feelings on the world. Probably.

You actually get payed to get a phd. Not a lot, and in fact most phd programs likely don’t pay you enough to live, but you shouldn’t be paying the university. Any phd program that requires you to pay is a scam.
