My mom is, it didn’t pass down to me or my brother. I suspect she was born left handed (that did pass down to me), and it was "corrected"out of her, now she’s equally klutzy (read not at all a klutz) with either hand.

One of my recent work places actually had 1:1 left to right handed people, in a group of 12, there was even one guy who insisted on using the mouse with his left hand (we shared a couple different terminals and you could tell when he was the most recent one to use it). That man was a monster.

We are all the death breathers, my fungi, my bees, we’re powered with the miti-c

Don’t look in my lab please.

Thank you mitochondria for allowing us to respirate the death element.

Kicked up your comment, but can’t tell if sarcasm or missing my stating that I’m steel manning.

The amount of drops I’m getting leads me to believe most people don’t care that I was steel manning for the sake of argument. But people are agreeing that taking down the confederate monuments would be akin to genocide, so maybe this community is very different from what I expected.

An interesting definition you propose. I’ll need a bit more convincing, but I’m open to updating my terminology

For example (and I’m analyzing from the worst case here, not actually arguing for the following) I wouldn’t say removing confederate statues is an attempted genocide in the South.

I would say there are plenty of people who would love to call it such by your definition of the term.

What does engulfing the earth mean to you? The mass of the sun expanded to a body 1 au would not be very dense. My money says the earth would continue to orbit “inside the sun” for quite a while, but the orbit would degrade more quickly.

But yes, I argue get them out of the earths gravity well and let Newton handle the rest, no reason to propel them in any direction, eventually they’ll get to the sun.

My argument is it’s more energy efficient to shoot something towards the sun that will have the same result as hitting the sun than it is to get it out of the solar system.

Billions of years and billions of times less energy, would you agree?

Why do you need to hit the exact center of the sun to have the desired results? Get it within the orbit of Mercury and I’ll be happy enough.

You are making 2 opposing assumptions there, 1) there is nothing to bump into in outer space, the earth picks up 43 tons of new mass every day.

2. the earths orbit would decay, the earth is absolutely massive compared to the amount of mass gained, and also off gasses a significant amount of mass every day.

If orbits don’t decay, why do even high orbit satellites need to make elevation corrections?

If you put a small body into outer space it would absolutely be (slowly) effected by the miasma of particles out there.

And let’s not forget we don’t have a time table for reaching the sun, and we aren’t aiming for the middle of the sun to see results. And as you approach the sun you will bump into more and more particles as they too are being drawn around the sun.

It’s an easy talking point from the Internet and high school text books, it is disregarding of many actualities of our universe. It would be true if the sun were an infinitely small point on a 2 dimensional plane with a perfect lack of friction.

And while for instantaneous results it would be easier to get something out of the sun’s gravity well rather than hit the exact middle of the sun, practically, if you have time, and you don’t actually need it to hit dead center of the sun, it’s much cheaper and easier to incinerate something proximal to the sun than it is too send it out of the solar system.

Also let’s not forget gravity sling shots work in both directions.

That’s assuming all cows are a point on a frictionless 2 dimensional plane.

1. you don’t need to hit the sun dead center to be incinerated.

2. the sun is huge

3. you aren’t in a frictionless environment, your orbit will decay into the sun.

That’s the top of the slippery slope that leads to consumption.

If you see a Republican trying to lick your dog, correct the behavior immediately, they’ve proven themselves not able to exhibit self control in those situations.

Do a confirmation study?

I think p-hacking was invented sometime around the 90s as well, congratulations you matched the meme!

And the ones that aren’t being paid for it are just pawns envious of the kings.

Correlation is not causa… Aw fuck.

That’s cellular respiration! The mitochondria, THE POWERHOUSE OF ALL CELLS EVERYWHERE, does that one! It’s the one that keeps life living. 3 ADP -> 2 ATP iirc.

Krebs, Couldn’t live without it.

Fuck it, if that’s how we go that’s how we go.

I think there are enough people with more brains than putler over there.

I hope this does scare his Chinese and dkpr allies a bit though.

This one barking Russian bitch is the reason so many flowers are growing?
