  • Thanks for saying that and I agree that far too many parents shouldn’t be.

    It says a lot of the kind of upbringing I’ve had and how I’ve seen others raise children, as I was at rock climbing, indoor, the other day and watched this father coach his 5-7 year old up this climb and then try to get him to rappel back down. The kid kept holding the wrong line and so didn’t move down the wall. The father was so patient and explained everything and gave him tips at the bottom and I just thought that’s rare in my world. I’m used to people shouting when things are not correct.

  • I like to do this too. I’ve exhausted all the research and my YouTube feed is sullied.

    It’s a Mercedes A200d 2020 AMG Line. I purchased it used and not because it was a Mercedes, but I’ve had a torrid time with my last used car so this only has 20k miles on the clock and it’s been in the main dealer each service.

  • Here is what I found:

    • The shell must be strong enough to support the egg’s weight and protect the embryo, but thin enough for the chick to break through when hatching.
    • As size increases, the weight grows cubically (volume), but shell strength only increases quadratically (surface area), so there’s a point where the shell would have to be too thick to hatch from.
    • The distance from the shell to the center increases.
    • Oxygen diffusion becomes inefficient, and the embryo could suffocate.
    • Larger eggs are harder to keep at a uniform temperature.
    • Birds incubating the eggs would need to generate and distribute more heat, which is physically demanding.

  • I got curious and your assumption is correct for one of the limiting factors.
