And the theropod is standing on its toes

Depends. They are probably meaning 0.4 bar greater than the pressure at the surface which is approximately 1 bar

To get one bar more than at the surface you need ten metres

Someone on YouTube (probably banned now) used to flood the nests of invasive ants with molten aluminium turning the tunnels into statues

Thagomizer and walking stick with silver head seem like an excellent weapon pair for the elderly gentleman

T. Rex and the other dinosaurs shaped like it (the theropods) are the ancestors of birds

So probably a t-rex

Go with bunny rather than rabbit, it fits better

Octopus is an English word so it is perfectly correct to pluralise it as octopuses. To use octopi is definitely wrong (it’s the wrong foreign pluralisation), octopodes is using an uncommon foreign pluralisation so it’s not wrong, just non standard

You think we’re using a Greek word not an English word?

I don’t think the CEO or anyone else was at fault, one of their teams picked people for the company to support, it was either before bad behaviour became apparent, or ignorant of it, then the community complaints and they fixed it

What’s to complain about?

To take the voice of the other side

Age verification is a thing that’s becoming more important

It’s expensive for all the companies if they have to do age verification, apple and Microsoft are huge so they can easily absorb the cost, so if we make those companies do it, it takes the load off the other companies

It’s not that they’re open source hostile, it’s that they’re open source blind. I think they’re also using corporate versions of windows so they don’t get the worst of it, so they’re not incentivised to find alternatives

Linux is going to have a lot of trouble funding ID checks in the handful of jurisdictions where it’s necessary

I wonder if Linux should be presented as business software (since most Linux installations are servers) that should not be bound by that law, what does a server care about the age of the worker who set it up or the company that owns it

I guess they weren’t microbiologists

She gets too hot, melts stuff, starts fires

The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)

Some of them are realish, renditions of actual sea creatures by second hand descriptions of them

Most of them are just decorations

what’s the angle

They want to make people suspicious of those who tell them that this year is the hottest since we started keeping records, and that is a big fucking problem that will probably cost us every low lying country and every coastal city and every beach

In Kim Stanley Robinson’s near future sci-fi people dredge up the old beaches to build new beaches

Pot isn’t like opium. Most people can use pot occasionally and be sober most of the time, it’s probably less common for someone to become a pothead than for a drinker to become dependant on booze

Many people in all walks of life and all social statuses enjoy getting stoned occasionally

Chicken is in fact food. It is rarely in a jar.

I can’t say I have ever hit the seat. The geometry is wrong. Keyboards are threatened though

Skipping up to three mensurations has been tested and found to be safe. They called it a tri-cycle

More isn’t unsafe, just unknown to science
