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, 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
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.
There were talks of using them in sidewalks, but it doesn't really make much sense really. Piezo almost always only works as energy recovery, which isn't nothing but you will need the infrastructure which also isn't nothing.
Love the feel of the new font, the kerning is nice, but it really does have some whack letters. I do really love the lowercase L, I wrote love like that.
Been waiting on this game for like 8 quadrillion years.
I have no hope it will ever release. Communication has been horrendous and every few years we get a neat video and nothing else. I backed this like 10 years ago...
