This is actually doing a disservice to all the work paleontologists do in reconstructing. There was indeed a time where there was too much stretching over bones, but this is something they are now very aware of. Also keep in mind reptiles, avians and and mammals have a very different relationship between bones and body. It’s mainly mammals that tend to add a lot of bulk like that.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Ukraine’s F-16 Destroys Russian Su-35 in First Air Battle, Backed by Swedish AWACS
2·1 year agoWe’ll need to see in real life (and hopefully that doesn’t happen), but in theory an F35 would have fired at a 4(.5) Gen aircraft before it was even detected.

The only upside is that we might get another epically long Milo Rossi debunking

19·2 years agoThat honestly seems pretty low for friend.com
Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas
Oh, that’s not even showing as a missing character, to me it just looks like 0.9
At least we agree 0.99… = 1
0.9 is most definitely not equal to 1

5·2 years agoI mean, he had been abusive for years, it was sadly not a unique nor surprising case, except for his fame, but fame doesn’t make you a good person.
They work on light scratches, but anything too deep will damage the data layer. However, you can do a lot with cloth and toothpaste
Those were legit, though, you can resurface optical media to allow it to be read again

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

The meme may be true, but it is less meaningful than you might assume at first glance. The obvious comparison is those memes comparing wages or dollar values with house prices, where obviously inflation has made a huge difference in 100 years. However, you should compare it to other types of investment, so does a stock index grow as fast as home prices or not?
Also, all those tube sites are littered with ads.

Futurology@futurology.today•CATL expects to sell batteries at $60 kWh or less in mid-2024, that 12 months ago it sold for $125 kWh. With further predicted price falls, this will knock $5,000 off the cost to make EVs by 2025.English
1·2 years agoThe 5000 refers to cars with bigger batteries than a 10.000 dollar car. Those might go down to 7 or 8 K, but new cars sold in Europe or the US will not likely go back down to below 15k. The necessary safety and environmental requirements, and minimum expectations on comfort, features and performance will likely keep prices relatively high-ish. Even the Citroën Ami is still 9k, and that’s a 2 person city car with low range, barely any features, and loads of cost cutting. Awesome car, though.
