First, please define what you mean by socialism. That word encompasses a lot of very different forms of government, even when it's used "correctly", and it's typically not.

The Nazis called themselves socialists, and I'm not moving there.

When many people say socialism, what they mean is capitalist democracy with a strong social safety net, strong government regulation, and highly progressive taxation.

Edit: for the love of god, please do a little bit of reading about socialism before reinforcing my point that this word is used terribly. We won't take the wiki as ultimate truth, but please read. Be better. Read and think first. Comment later.

Fun fact. One (anecdotal) way of relieving sea sickness is to start driving the boat.

There could be something to it, too. You'd be focusing your eyes on the water and anticipating the motions.

Probably not. At least not earth like. Planets have to be sufficiently large to maintain an atmosphere.

It may be possible for one like an ice moon to harbor life, but it needs something to generate heat and prevent the ocean from freezing solid.

I suppose there could also be a situation where the planet is sufficiently large to retain an atmosphere, but somehow hasn't cleared it's orbit.

I still haven't figured out how he has anyone willing to represent him. It appears that he doesn't pay any of his bills. Like ever.

I would've said dragon then.

I don't even care about votes. It'd just be more correct.

I'm glad that you're trying to understand! That's awesome.

So, I don't want to be rude, but your lack of knowledge is far too severe for me to correct in a post.

You are correct about spectrography being used in determining if there's life on a planet, but there's just so much that you don't yet know.

If you haven't seen it, watch the original Carl Sagan Cosmos.

When you've learned about that talk to me again. I'll update you from there.

I have a kindergartener. I plan on getting it to the class somehow.

I can't just put it in a container in his backpack. It'd break. I'd definitely let the teacher know, but I'm concerned about my science overbearingness.

I already suggested that they need to do things for the spring 2024 eclipse (and I'm not sure about that one).

It's actually the best when the ducks find one of these.

They eat plenty of earth worms, but when the find one of these it fights back, wriggling all down into the crop.

Then the others catch on and try to steal it. Chase ensues. So much fun that a visitor who witnessed it commented.

Anyway, if your chicken says "vegetarian fed", remember that chickens are not vegetarians.

They are tiny dinosaur monsters.

Reverse. Grass seed in mouth for scale.

The Apollo Lunar Lander. The only real space ship we ever built. (I guess we built another one for the next trip now, though, so I'll go with "ever flown")

People can say it's ugly all they want, but, as an engineer, it's exquisitely designed for its purpose. That's true beauty to me.

What about the one at the very beginning of Spaceballs that went on and on?

There doesn't appear to be anything rare about our solar system, and why would you expect them to mention Dyson spheres?

We're basically looking for and expecting simple microbial life. You know, slime.

We're not talking about planets hundreds of millions of light years. We're taking about planets a few to hundreds of light years away.

That is nothing. There's been life on earth basically as soon as it cooled enough to not be a molten ball of rock. Like 3 billion years ago.

You can get counter top dish washers.

I don't know how well they work, but they're reasonably affordable.

You seem to have forgotten that he suggested to build a wall all along the US/Mexico border, have Mexico pay for it, then build a moat, and fill it with alligators.

That's the spirit! Give up on justice!

I don't know how new that information is.

It came out kinda concurrently with Jurassic Park.

The only reason Microsoft has any business at all is that no matter what kind of a shit show they cause, no one ever got fired for going with Microsoft.

No. Anything that actually happens can't be paranormal by definition.

Even if it's ghosts. If ghosts were real, they'd just be normal.

Hmmm. I am inclined to agree with you that a cassowary on a leash is probably better than a junk yard dog.

Please let me know what you find out.
