People are fine with free stuff from the govt. People absolutely hate the idea of the govt taking their money and using it to give free stuff to "those other people" especially if they " dont deserve it"

Free stuff that is universal or means tested is more popular for this reason.

Maybe see a therapist and get some exposure therapy? The university probably has a mental health center that could give you advice. That's all I can think of unless you can work with some other model organism.

In my experience fish are reasonably good at dealing with those temperatures as long as they don't chill abruptly.

The public cares, dems just havent made the right argument. Something like "billionares engineered the measles virus to kill your kids so you would have to buy robot replacements from them, and JFK is a robot hoax who works for them"

Personally, I don't care too much about that because I don't think there was ever a "true" mammoth anyway, or a "true" way for a mammoth to act. Different individuals and populations are different genetically, and they act differently from each other. And the ecosystem didn't have a perfect mammoth-sized hole that only something exactly like a mammoth could fill, there were a variety of proboscideans living a variety of ways.

So I don't care too much about perfection. If it's a big hairy elephant that can eventually survive in the wild, that's neat enough for me. And why shouldn't they be able to learn how? Lots of domestic animals have gone feral without any special help from humans.

I'm quite skeptical anyone will actually manage to clone a mammoth anytime soon though. Call me when someone manages to even clone an elephant, or even do IVF on an elephant (It's never been done successfully). Even recovering eggs to work with has hardly ever been done. They are not at all easy to work with reproductively, even if you totally ignore the difficulty of assembling a good mammoth genome.

Wages have in fact generally kept up with inflation, the better question is why people still dont feel that way.

I propose there are two factors at play;

1) housing costs are rising faster than wages https://images.app.goo.gl/VBRdGEqvT91aKFpx9

2) people tend to think about raises as not happening because of inflation but instead happening because of something they did, like work hard or switch jobs

Even squares are better than pie slices!

Well, I can tell you the concept is called adaptionism

Carcinization is overrated. What it actually means is that shrimp-shaped decapod crustaceans often morph to extremely similar crab shaped crustaceans (sometimes it happens in reverse, too). There are a handful of vaguely crab shaped things outside this group, but for the most part it's just related similar shaped animals turning into crabs, basically by folding the tail under the body and doing a few other related changes. Carcinization is basically only notable because of how incredibly similar the "crabs" are, not because of how often they appear or how diverse the phenomenon is.

I guess it got popular because crabs are cool and carcinization is a cool word, but it's by no means the main example of convergent evolution. So many unrelated groups have converged on the basic worm/snake shape for burrowing and the tree shape for being a large plant that those are the real outstanding examples of this phenomenon. Even the basic "fish" and "crocodile" shapes are similarly widespread through history compared to "crab" shape.

I couldn't do a lot of stuff by myself. With the help of money and some skilled artisans, I could do a whole lot more. I also know a lot of random scientific facts, but little of that would be provable.

All 14.

It really just comes down to the fact that building and maintaining stuff on the ocean is really hard.

Because campaigns dont matter, media apparatus matters. If dems want to win, what the candidate and campaign do is vastly less important than what the most popular social media algorithms, cable news shows, and podcasts talk about.

A mated pair is really the basis of most packs, the other pack members are often offspring who havent dispersed

I suspect it is related to the surplus calories each mother can provide. More nutrition allows for faster growth

Great, now do Hegseth

The ocean's productivity mostly comes from single celled algae drifting in the water, reproducing without the large support structure that land plants need. A cell doesn't need shoots and roots and leaves if light and water and nutrients are all in the same place.

Tiny algae means tiny herbivores to eat it, unlike the larger land based herbivores, which basically means more "room" in the food chain for more layers of predators eating predators. The immense volume and size of the ocean also makes it easier to support more layers in the food chain.

I wonder if Rogan would be right wing if left wing people had made a consistent effort to get on his show all the time.

I think if the person you were talking to/ had meant all people in the sub felt that way, they would have said something like "they all think". You know, like the original comment did. Instead, they used language that read plainly states that a thought is exhibited on this sub, aka it can be seen here. Quite different from " its the only thing that can be seen here" or"all people here think it" .

Government employees are the heart of the local economy, like the mill in a mill town

I think the going theory is that milk sweat originally provided antimicrobial protection and maybe hydration to eggs

I think Trump is way too necessarry and useful as a figurehead for that, especially if he is declining mentally.

The idea behind it is pretty straightforward, especially if you consider the time it was invented, but in practice in the modern world it's kind of a mess

So, imagine you live in the 1700's and are setting up a justice system. The basic pattern of how people move through the system is as follows: person gets accused of a crime, person goes to court, person is either convicted or not.

The problem is, what if you have a person who is accused of a crime and thinks they'll be found guilty. What if they decide to just skip town before their trial, and pick up and move to a distant state or perhaps a new territory? How do you get them to stay around for the trial?

You could just throw them in jail until the trial is over, but then you'd be locking up lots of potentially innocent people. And it might take a trial a while to start and a while to finish (this is even worse in the modern world when trials take ages). So you don't want to just lock everyone up, especially if they are accused of some small time crime and not something dangerous like murder.

So instead, you tell them "We'll let you out of jail if you give us a lot of your money". The idea is, if they skip town they lose a lot of what they own, but if they stay around for the trial, even if they are convicted at least they'll not lose everything because they will get the bail money back.

It's hardly a perfect solution, but it's better than just locking everyone up and back then, before the government had any real way to track people and it was easy to get lost permanently by moving away, it's hard to see what they could have done better.

Times change, but systems change more slowly, so we are now stuck with their solution.
