But they actually are… Down in Miami, wealthy people are fleeing the beachfront property and buying up housing where all the poor people live, which also happens to be further from the beach. There have been a number of documentaries and news segments on this trend which you can easily find on YouTube.
Oh it doesn’t matter. They’re just repeating the same old tired debunked points from other bigots that also think climate change is a scam. Nothing will ever convince these types of people.
The Enterprise back to being a frigate, excellent.
The idea of the Enterprise-D being a flagship of Starfleet always sat uneasily, because flagships shouldn’t be the ones sent out to explore strange new worlds. You use a frigate for that.
If we go by historical analogies to the Age of Sail, some of the shenanigans captains got up to were pretty consistent with Star Trek (up to and including getting themselves killed by the natives, like Captain Cook). It’s only modern navies that care so much about the lives of senior staff ;-)
@Damage@startrek I would think one would avoid sending one’s most powerful ship to explore — it’s rather threatening diplomatically, and it also means one’s defence of home space is weakened. It makes more sense to me to send smaller, more nimble, less threatening (and less valuable) ships into the unknown.
Ok don’t get me wrong (fuck shorts, they’re a terrible follow of a trend across so many platforms), but at least on mobile it seems like they’re shorts from people I subscribe to 🤷♂️ so I’m cool with supporting the folks I subscribe to, I guess
As I understand it it also coincides with the distance to the sun and the fact that the southern hemisphere is mostly water keeps temperatures there more steady.
I was wrong on the first part, in fact the sun is closer un the southern hemisphere’s summer than in the northern, but the difference in distance is minuscule. So the only reason is the water distribution.
In the northern summer earth is further away from the sun, so this neglegible effect is not the reason, but rather is getting overpowered by the effect of water keeping the temperatures more steady over the year than land
The correct answer is neither the distance to the sun nor the distribution of the populagion, though the latter is related to the answer. It is because more land is on the northern hemisphere than on the southern hemisphere. This also holds when weigthed with the suns angle of incidence across the seasons.
Land changes temperature more quickly, so the oscillation over the year from it is larger than from water, dominating it here.
Youtube non-stop basically prevents the “are you still watching” thing. Useful if you’re like me and listen to playlists on the background while studying.
I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium’s interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.
