@freemo tell me you like blood without telling me you like blood
A supernova takes course over only several weeks to a few months. So very very short time indeed by stellar standards.

I just hope that, whoever will be elected this year, will bring America into a better state than it is now and unify people.
It is good to hear you are rooting for a third party candidate :)
I don’t live in the US, but I traveled there a lot for business and pleasure for many years. Route 66 and all that. But that was many years ago and I really want to go back there and show my kids all these great people, diversity and landscape that the US has to offer. I hope that will be possible at sometime in the future.
Its got a lot of beautiful land, and some of its older principles were admirable.. but my god the people are just absolute shit here. It is pretty much just a country-wide insane asylum at this point.
Thts interesting since Universeodon recently suspended our whole server in retaliation for me calling our their new moderator for abusive practices. So wouldnt have expected my replies to show.
@LouisIngenthron I've seen some similar stuff and yea ive considered the same. Right now i have an open-air computer that is nice but nothing too spectacular in terms of looks.
I'm curious, did you see my reply on Takei's post directly, or from my page or something?
@louis@emacs.ch He already knew that when he endorsed Trump, I mean how could he not?
But yea obviously i dont think Putin is saying the truth, he is saying what has the effect he wants.... just as he wasnt telling the truth when he endorsed Trump either. He knew endorsing Trump would result in riots, he wanted riots, he never cared about Trump.
Just as he knows endorsing Biden will create turmoil and strife, which is more than enough reason for me.
@louis@emacs.ch We didnt assume that was the case for Trump, why would we assume that was the case for Biden.
I am pretty strict to apply either sides logic against them consistently. It was accepted at face value for Trump by the Democrats so ill accept it at face value for Biden against the Democrats.
Maybe they should considering not being so toxic and opening the discussion of this stuff to nuance without calling you a Trumper? Then when the tables are turned I might give them the same privilage, but no, thats not how they (democrats or republicans) want to play it. So i will use their own rules.
@SteelFolk Works better in what sense?
Scientist here, just a bit of a pet peve here. This isnt a good answer. Lead can form through normal processes (stellar)and doesnt require radioactive decay as its main source. In fact most lead on earth existed when the earth was formed.
@SteelFolk True, at that temperature the steel would be molten. But what i said would still be true other than the fact that the steel would be molten.
@freemo Domestication does make them cuter:

@peterdrake I was actually more curious about non-domesticated animals that we hunt.. like for example deer. Cuter deer means it is harder to pull the trigger. Which would also explain why cuteness would be more important for younger members of a species.
@freemo so the question is, can you sustain this reaction, or why can't you sustain this reaction ?
