    That said, no one has complained about PJ Harvey yet.

  • Sulphuric Acid acts on trousers and carpets. Wooden desks seem remarkably immune.

    Found out after getting an actual chemical and chemistry set from a deceased relative. Parents didn't check what was in it, just "chemistry is educational, good he's learning".

    I was either dropping magnesium or potassium into a beaker of sulphuric acid as both of them were in the set too. And I was either a butterfingered lummox, or the act of dropping the metal into unbalanced the beaker knocked it over and the sulphuric acid cascaded onto my jeans eating through them and making my leg itchy, and bubbling the carpet into a stinky white then grey foam. I can still picture-ish that sight; and I'm normally not very visually minded, a testament to the deep impression the experience left on me.

    Was much more sensible after that: just burning magnesium and chucking potassium into tub of water in the garden like you do in Chemistry class from time to time.

  • Other guy did a good job on the main points, but I'll add something I saw in a study on a kind of bird in the US:

    The birds realised cigarette butts had an antibacterial effect, and made efforts to collect and use cigarette butts in their nest building for eggs and chicks.

  • I think you've focused on the extraordinary conditions of the protagonists, and ignored the features of the world for normal people.

    Most people do not battle their pokémon regularly.

    Pokémon are partners, not slaves - and the people who treat their pokémon as objects are consistently bad and harmful of society. And you'll note that this is an area that villainous teams focus on.

    There is a lack of poverty, healthcare is free, education is free, and there isn't hunger or homelessness.

    Society works to support each other without the profit motive. Except for those who push into competitive battling, and criminals.

  • The True Meaning of Easter

    Jump

  • The thousands of years old tradition from non-Abrahamic Persia, (in fact a proto-IE region with shared religious rites with Slavic, Celtic and Germanic Europe), predating not only the splits of Christianity into Eastern Orthodox and Other, but of Christianity actually existing, doesn't show it was a Pagan tradition?

    What else do you call non-Abrahamic religious rites?

    (And apparently new evidence has since backed up Bede's account of Pagan Oestra in the British Isles, too.)

  • The True Meaning of Easter

    Jump

  • There have been more discoveries since Grimm boys, and despite earlier scepticism scholars are now mostly accepting that there was an Eostre diety worshipped in Europe around the Spring Equinox.

  • The True Meaning of Easter

    Jump

  • New findings and archeo-lingustics have supported Grimms and Bede, so the existence (culturally) and worship of Oestra (or however your 1000BC Celto-Germanic language spelt it) is now generally accepted by scholars (and anyone who isn't pushing an anti-intellectual, and often antisemitic, "war on Christianity" agenda).

  • Ah, to live in the non-capitalist, non-comoddified pokémon society where most things are done for social good rather than self gain.

  • Dwarf Planets are people too

    Jump

  • You're not wrong, but I've also seen people calling Pluto-Charon binary dwarf planets.

    But yes, the IAU tends to only pin down definitions when one is becoming unworkable - in this case the ever larger numbers of trans-Neptune objects that were potential planets.

  • The arbitrary cutoff size being to ensure continuity of the scientific consensus in popular awareness when I was a child isn't a stupid rule.

    Not even when a larger kuiper belt object is found.

    Not even, when since mass is the primary means of estimating size until we fly a probe out there, we estimate a smaller but much with much more mass object to be larger and we debate a 10th planet yet again.

  • I'm only down with the "Pluto is a planet" crowd, if they rep Ceres and at least one of the others (Eris, Hamuhea, Makemake, or one of the others I forget) too.

    So there's no version of the solar system where there's only 9 planets. It's 11+ lads.
