He should have been more eloquent. I'm pretty sure there's an ancient word that means "to entirely destroy by fire"... If he had used that instead, it would be more clear what he means.

It's not even news anymore to see these shitty blood-glutted war criminals' gloating, completely conveniently forgetting the hypocrisy. Perhaps we need to simply call this what it is, by this man's very definition here: it is a holocaust of Gaza.

Technically, the legal term is Exile, IIRC. But doing that without the backing of legality is also what you said.

I would be interested to hear your take on the old manga/anime "Monster".

In america doctors don't take the Hippocratic oath anymore.. Doctors of medicine still take a modified version, but "Doctors of Osteopathy" take their own special oath where they have this wonderful little section which does a LOT of heavy lifting:

...to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature's laws and the body's inherent capacity for recovery.

I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession...

And, as I'm sure you can imagine, this leaves open to the interpretation of the reader what constitutes "natural law", "good judgment", the "general welfare of the community", or "practices which will bring shame or discredit".

Also, those Osteopaths, who are not even considered doctors in many international jurisdictions, still swear to hold to the principles of Osteopathy, a pseudoscientific quackery which says that anything your body needs to heal can be produced by your body. I'm sure you can guess how that relates to vaccines.

I was referring to his username, but hey, if it means no more fascism, July is a nice time of year.

I take it that you'd recommend a celebration on the 5th of November?

I'm sure he'd be very upset if he could read.

Duct tape and wd-40: the fifth and sixth classical elements.

ETA: Yes, that definitely needed clarification.

Gray shit on your everything, concrete fucking everywhere, looming threat of 2-ton steel death machines caving in your head, overheating everywhere, asphalt plowing through everything, soaking up the sun at every step, tough lessons in momentum for kids crossing them, lot of traffic and pollution when there are drivers out.

You could change half of your words, and keep the meaning the same, and make a compelling case that roads, or any other things, are humanity's greatest scourge.

If all you can do is complain that the natural world is insufficiently bent to your personal convenience, you are the problem with humanity right now.

Go touch whatever remaining local flora people like you have allowed to continue to exist, and quit being an imbecilic bellend online.

What a horrible day to be literate

Totally the wrong place in the thread, but I think just going to the Library, proving that you are from the future with some basic knowledge of chemistry, and telling them that they need a backup in the caves of the Sinai Desert would probably be my go-to. Give them some pointers on multi-millennium document storage.

That was less for you than for the people who come after, still ignorant of the crimes of Edison. A just world would not even remember Edison's name.

and was inarguably the better inventor and thinker, since Edison was a plagiarist and marketer who made incremental changes to the designs of other people, and nothing more

FTFY

To be fair the casinos are a pretty low bar, but yeah...

Ooh, interesting! Perhaps if you cooled the top and heated the bottom quickly enough? The biggest problem is that the convective drag needs to be high enough to cause actual subduction. In my Earth Science class, I just add mica powder to water, heat it from below, and show them Rayleigh-Benard convection cells.

We do get cracks. They're the divergent plate boundaries. Water and ice just flow on time scales far too dissimilar to make an appropriate rate model at the cracks.

As a teacher, I cannot tell you how much this changed my life. I just spew their random shit right at them, totally straight-faced, with a painful degree of enunciation. They do not say those words again in my presence. Their cringe feeds me. I also find it helpful to try to get them to define each term, in excruciating detail, then I destroy the word for them.

Well, yes and no. The pH scale follows the hydrogen ion concentration, but specifically in aqueous media. The reason 7 is in the "middle" of the scale is because the natural dissociation of water sits at equilibrium at 10^-7 M H+ at 298K, IIRC. So perturbations naturally just displace that specific equilibrium, so it absolutely is normative to water.

Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

Haha, the Hammer of Angantyr.
