Yuppers. Momo is dog.

Wow. Gygax sucked!

I’ve been saying this since I was a kid. Every time I see a blood donation place. That’s a vampire organization and you can’t convince me otherwise :D

Substitute with the much superior shalot. Reign supreme into eternity.

FRFR! So tired of all the child soldier animes.

Weird too, cus you could destroy the universe with 2 or even just 1 wish maybe?.

2 wishes: Repeat wish 2, repeat wish 1. Universe ends in magical overload.

1 wish: Don’t fulfill this wish. I feel like that’s less magical end of the universe and just death of the genie I guess?

In before next week’s article that the Montreal office is permanently closed and all workers let go.

And my weird brain that isnt affected shooing it away.

Usually what happens is whoever needs to know has their own specific way of determining the thing.

As a wildlife biologist, the meme description is pretty good and would suffice for just about anything I need. The present or recent past circumstances are the most important to my work.

If I were interested in the geology, or say ground water, earth studiesor, or even the more distant past then this definition you share becomes more useful.

There are going to be even more criteria that apply for different groups, and even sometimes none of these definitions we’ve seen would matter because you only care if it sustains a specific species or something even less obvious.

I don’t specialize in that particular area so I couldn’t say honestly.

My primary focus when I did was just dealing with the Everglades and surroundings for the most part.

Worldwide I’m not sure I could even guess what should be more common.

Canada has those prairie potholes which are usually marshes and Canada is huge, so maybe sheer numbers it could be something like that, but by size you get things like the Everglades. I’m sure someone knows though, just not me.

Wildlife biologist here, Absolutely.

Oddly enough I usually see/write it fen/bog marsh. There are tons of other qualifiers too, like salt marsh, tidal marsh and such.

The same applies for all 4 examples if it’s needed. Salt swamps and fresh water swamps and such.

Wildlife biologist here, and I have to concur with just about all of this.

I think we generally look at a viruses and consider them alive but just barely. While prions are not because they (proteins) are what is considered one of the building blocks for life. Self replication being one of the major criteria we’d look for. We look at a very macro level of life but our education and work has a strong overlap down here a well.

This is such a well written post! Gets the point id like to make across in a much better way than I could

Explain yourself!

Been saying this for years! I think when Mark did the video with the huge air horn is when I caught on and stopped watching the Mormon crew. Weirded me out

Mac and cheese is technically pasta with milk :D

There kinda isn’t really any definitive science that indicates a specific frame rate that the eye can perceive.

There are studies however that show ranges from 30 to 90hz, and studies that show that human perception can detect flicker at up to 500hz even.

The issue is that nothing that happens in the real world is synchronized with what you perceive. So filling in with more Hz means there are more chance for you to actually perceive the thing.

To complicate matters further, our brains do a lot of filling in for us, and our eyes and brains can still perceive things you aren’t consciously perceiving yourself. So again more frames is always nice.
