Science Memes@mander.xyz•Can someone make sense of this chemical?English
6·il y a 2 moisnot sure what they were alluding to, but my guess from first look was all the double bonds (represented by 2 lines parallel) on a single carbon, and those 2 double bonds being bent (i am not getting into sp carbon hybridisation, and specifically double double bond sp), but that is basically not possible (alost no amount of streic hinderance can do that).

4·il y a 3 moisdefinitely would like some explanations and sources. I am guessing plutonium must be used as a nuclear battery, but 1/2000 seems too high a chance for explosion considering how safe they usually try to go with.

HistoryPhotos@piefed.social•Dog plow in Belgium, WW1, 1916English
1·il y a 3 moissize of animal which is feasable in a environment is determined by largely 3 things (besides general genetic limits) - climate, food availablilty, and any predators. within tundras it is very beneficial to be big because your surface area to mass ratio would be less (you lose heat through your surface, and the total heat you produce is roughly proportional to your mass). So most tundra animals grow big.
my guess with dogs being prefered is that 1) they are available, 2) humans have history of collab, 3) they are also predators. last is important, as 1 of the reasons to go out is to catch some prey, and dogs are good predators. goat might fit other 2, but does not fit 3 (their pray is usually very sparse, and almost always ‘vegitative’). In areas where there is hardly any other pray (like himalyas), dogs are not raise because their hunting skilss are useless. Yaks (fancy bulls) are raised because they can carry load, and also you can use their “side products” (hair in summer, and milk more generally)

2·il y a 3 moistil. I knew of the hairstyle, but did not know it was a law. I probably guessed that it is something that royality does, and rest of people just try to mimic it, but never quite thought of why everyone would do that.

2·il y a 3 moisforgive my ignorance, but why? was belgium (or this particular region or this person) a cattle-poor nation at that time? I understand dog sleds (well wolf like, but sure) in tundra, because there aren’t any cattle like animals, or horses. maybe yak in some places, but belgium is geographically flat euro land (so a bit cold, but definitely has cattle). Like my problem is not specifically why no cattle, but why dogs? because dogs are fairly weak for plowing, and human plowing is very much a thing. It is definitely labor intensive, but human would be faster.

2·il y a 3 moisany idea what is happening? on the right side a person is either measuring something around head, or some other procedure (but does not seem like a barber), and also there is some registeration or something going on in the middle, so is this outside some court (as in royality) or like a hospital?

2·il y a 3 moisfrom the little that I know of culture of mid-west asia, eagle-falcon-hawk family are kinda treated very special, a bit like royality. and often it would be believed that such a “majestic” bird perching on someone’s hands would be a divine gesture of some person’s abilities. hence lots of military figures are depicted with such birds. it shows their bravery, and also roughly their royalty.

Climate@slrpnk.net•‘It’s no longer exceptional’: Karachi struggles under brutal new reality of extreme heat | Experts say the unseasonably hot weather across south Asia shows the impact of the climate crisisEnglish13·il y a 3 moisGeographically speaking, I am not very far of from karachi, and can tell you first hand - outside temperatures are in high 40s, and we still have not reached peak summers. 2 years ago, 55C was recorded. the only somewhat saving grace is that moisture levels are not that high (<30% for most of the day). But people are dying just of heat strokes.

I am sorry, I just found this thread (i have been less active online since i got employment, sorry). I have heard some bad stuff bout you bud, but in all my interactions with you have been great. we may have some political differences on some things (not going into that intellectual masturbation here), but I do mean this sincerely - thank you.
