Density is mass by volume. The volume changes because of the crystalline lattice. The mass doesn’t change. I’m trying to decide if you’re trolling or not.

Look son, it’s great that you want to participate in the conversation, but maybe get some experience with the basics and come on back. We’ll still be here and ready to talk.

It ruins it. With stockings you can reach the prize. Pantyhose blocks access.

Kris Kristofferson said that about Toby Keith.

Kris was a veteran who was anti-war. Keith was a loudmouth piece of shit “patriot” who never did shit for anyone. The occasion was a concert for Willie Nelson’s birthday and Keith was needling Kristofferson about not singing any of that pansy peace stuff.

There is a known phenomena among the wealthy where they vastly over rate their classes accomplishments relative to others. So rich kid paints a picture and it should be in a gallery. Poor kid wins an art scholarship and it’s due to affirmative action.

This is another of a long line of these studies. The effects they get from this type of epidemiology is entirely an artifact of the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

In this case they say they controlled for formerly heavy drinkers who now abstain. Without reading the paper in detail we don’t know if they controlled for socio-economic status etc. For example that group may include a group of former polydrug users who were insecurely housed. Assigning that group to “heavy drinkers now abstaining” will tilt the results. There are chronic health conditions that arise from that lifestyle independent of alcohol use.

Epidemiology needs to be treated with kid gloves and I find this kind of advocacy unhelpful.

I think there is a point to be made here - talent is the easiest part of success. You can drop by bars in any major city and hear musicians who have the talent to be a top 40 star. What is difficult is to get your “break” and toehold in the industry. I think that’s what the core issue is. Their parents are right in that their kids have the talent to be mid-tier in the industry. What’s infuriating is that they are not more talented than anyone else. They have an escalator into the industry whe everyone else has to fight their way up the back stairs.

I feel like the speed of the conveyance matters a lot. One minute of travel at walking speed is still a 3 wood away. You could converse by shouting with someone at the origin. One minute by train puts you out of earshot and golf ball range.

68!

Not a joke. I get it now though.

63

Coloratura. Dems some high notes.

I’m not an Apple person. Can someone explain the joke?

Math and science aren’t history. Yes we owe an incredible debt to Islamic scholars for contributions to mathematics. That ain’t history.

If you took a university course in history, you studied from a western perspective. I will stand to be corrected but I don’t know of any non-religious university that doesn’t teach from the western tradition.

Edited for grammer and fat fingers.

Us olds used them all the time.

The study of history is explicitly Eurocentric. Oral traditions are typically just accepted within a culture. The desire to compare, authenticate, calibrate, and contextualize is a Western philosophical tradition and absolutely tied to colonialism as far back as ancient Rome and Greece.

That far from invalidates the approach.

“History” is typically dated from the advent of the written word. The oldest writing we have is from 5000-6000 BC (7-8k BCE). So the burial is part of a pre-historical period.

That’s right. A small fish with red fins and bright silver scales. Spelling wasn’t really standardized until the Elizabethan era. People spelled so it could be sounded out.
