UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.

You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.

The 7th lesson will be revealed in our FREE three-part email course.

Yeah, suck it mars, world record planet right here.

Tl;dr:

Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it’s cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

I’ve gotten sets with nigiri and maki in several cities around Japan. I guess my experience and yours differ.

In my European country you’ll order sushi as nigiri at any cornershop sushi place.

It’s most often sold as a set, where there’s typically 4 pieces of some roll with three ingredients and nori on the outside (but variations are not uncommon).

It’s quite close to what I’ve had in Japan. Although fish quality is very different.

Yeah, and although greedy, maybe not enough to ruffle feathers over.

Oh, animaniacs <3

Heat is electromagnetic radiation - photons, sound is mechanical displacement - phonons.

They mostly propagate the same due to being waves, in most other respects they are very different.

Heat convection is an entirely separate process where heat radiation is aided by the movement of the surrounding medium. Where it would otherwise heat up it’s environment, convection keeps the environment from heating up. Compare coffee in a thermos (very little convection) to a cup you’re blowing on (significant convection); more air movement - more cooling.

Also, destructive interference does not at all work like that.

Maybe a more useful analogy could be that waves have like walking animations, where in part of the animation they go up, and in another part they go down. Destructive interference happens when a wave in its’ “up” phase crosses a wave in it’s “down”, meaning the resulting movement looks like nothing. The waves don’t however interact in any way, and will continue on their way and on their own animation cycles.

The shifting and heating parts are technically true but require very specific circumstances, enough so that I’m more prone to believe it’s another misunderstanding of the physics behind this. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right

Unfortunately I don’t agree.

Good reasons to omit details include brevity, legibility, pedagogy and scope.

Showing the supporting evidence for all steps in an evidence chain is simply not feasible, and we commonly have to accept that a certain presupposed level of knowledge as well as ambiguity is necessary. And much of the challenge is to be precise enough in the things that need precision.

You’re right to be sceptical until more data is presented, but saying no claim of progress is ever true is quite obviously a gross misrepresentation of our current reality. You are doing this on digital devices interconnected with millions of users ar staggering speed and latency. Every part of which are scientific claims.

There’s a relevant physics anomaly called a Helmholtz resonator, or more broadly waveform interference.

Or you could have a cool siege type episode.

The cult can’t kill the adventurers yet, because they have to prepare the compound for the onslaught of the law and mob. They need to prepare arrows and reagents for the palisades/walls, prepare wards/rituals/cauldrons of hot water, organise the defensive teams, and the High priest needs their guards to protect the ritual of the demolition wave that will wipe out the assailants/everything outside the ritual circle for a mile wide radius after a long ritual that in it’s haste is leaking dangerous magics making a fight in the ritual room that much more hazardous.

The captured adventurers of course escape their improvised cages/fetters in time to sabotage and/or infiltrate the defences and let the law and mob in. And fight their way to the inner chamber just as the ritual is nearing it’s climax.

Bonus cinematic points if the ritual chamber is marked by a pillar of darkness, swirling clouds centered on it, or similar so that the outside sorcerer knows where to go.

A stereotypical high drama continuation could be:

The cult know the law is on it’s way, and must now accelerate their plans for the final ritual to summon the dark lord to protect them and show the world the Might That Will Usher In the New Era.

Fortunately, the hapless adventurers could be just the sacrifice needed to boost the final steps.

If you need to kill time, the ritual might be preceded by a set of cage fights to find the most worthy sacrifice. Or an elaborate set of trials. Or they’re stripped of equipment and/or drained of magic before having to fight themselves out of the situation long enough for the cavalry to get there.

Bonus out is both the summoned Big Bad as a boss fight, or if they derail, they might find themselves fighting the High Priest and their most enthusiastic lieutenant/followers while they perform a ritual that adds puzzle like elements to the fight (the boss priest has a shield as long as the followers live, or elemental pillars that have to be destroyed before damaging the priest, etc).

Of course the cavalry arrives just in time, and the mob of townsfolk spread out to fight the cultists, so that only a few arrive to aid at the boss fight.

IIRC, a tree absorbs up to 3 tons/year, and takes a bunch of years to get to that stage.

The trees also don’t sequester underground, and will need surface area staying as forest for the rest of time.

As many have echoed: an ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure. Most bang for our buck would be to change our lifestyle and regulations. But as that’s not feasible we’re at the geo engineering and artificial sequestration stage.

I understand that this information is against your internal narrative, but a quick look at data for 2021 shows:

One in two women and one in five men felt unsafe walking alone after dark in a busy public place.

And data from 2022 shows 45% for the same measure.

As for harassment:

2022 - 55% of women 16-34 felt harassed

2021 - Three out of five, 60% felt harassed during the year.

Twice as many women reported being harassed as men, and several reported changing their behaviour because of harassment.

This is also echoed in international studies over multiple cultures. Women are much more often harassed than men, almost exclusively by men, and have more limited freedoms, expressions and rights than men.

This is not controversial, it is well established in study after study, there is an actual right answer to this, and it’s not the one you’re proposing.

How is it that you keep ignoring data when faced with it, and instead of presenting supportive data resort to arguing feelings and whataboutisms?

Edit: Link to 2022 raw data

From the study summary:

Three out of five women aged 16 to 34 years experienced at least one form of harassment in the previous 12 months

Three out of five is 60%.
