1. Yes

2. Cause it’s warm and comfortable in this mass hive of stupidity. Who wouldn’t want to be one of us?

Went ahead and filled in that questionnaire for you.

Not a winner.

Interesting model blizz. Create a game. Build a base. Destroy the game and lose part of that base. Re-release original game to claw back former base.

And if 44% are children, that leaves 56% as adults. Cut that roughly in half to 28% for a 50/50 male/female split you get 72% (28 and 44) of the population is “women and children”. If that’s accurate, the title would be better stated as “Isreal kills indiscriminately”.

For some reason I think it means over the underwear, under the pants.

Does the government define “hacking”? I’d imagine not that specific word.

There’s still a window you could “fall” out of…

Miss me with that astrophysics ish. Come holla when you on that Ramsey theory and Graham’s Number.

Third party can work on solid states. Using 2020 numbers, if every Trump voter in California had voted third party, California would have still went to Biden. But there’s an alternative result that would come out. If a third party candidate gets 5% of the popular vote, they are eligible for over $120M in federal funding for the next election. Obviously he Ds and Rs spend way more than that, but a third party could make use of that money. And it only affects the next election really.

Do you remember Boaty McBoatface?

I had jumped back in when tbc classic was released. I wound up on a dead server. It made end game content essentially impossible. I was hoping to move right into wotlk classic at release as that was my jam back in the day. Except they weren’t going to include the dungeon finder or cross realm groups meaning it would still be a dead server with no chance at end game content. I was done with pointlessly dumb leadership. Unsubbed and found a private server that hits all the right buttons.

Well I don’t want it to come before me!

Obligatory “fuck United”.

They fucked up my vacation a number of years ago and I have since sworn them off. The most generous interpretation of the incident is that I missed an email updating a time change and arrived at the airport after the flight had left. Their next flight wasn’t until the next morning. My wife and I were looking and there was a flight from a different airline that would have cost them $400 each to book for us (they wouldn’t refund us so we could purchase that separately). The first agent at the counter completely understood our request but simply didn’t have the authority to make that decision. So she got a supervisor. The supervisor did that annoying ass thing where they listen to your request and then restate it in objectively different terms to sound unreasonable. In the end they covered a hotel for the night and gave us $550 each in travel vouchers and lost a customer for life. So they ended up paying way more and lost a customer than had they not fucked around from the start. Had they paid the $400 from the beginning, we’d have given them much higher preference on our future flights which have been many.

And ended with her valiantly saving Jon Snow and losing one of her dragons in the process. Yup. That’s where it ended. No more of her character was developed.

Bought Brooklyn 99 on DVD recently since Netflix thought it was great to only put the first 4 seasons up. My biggest regret is that I didn’t look more to find a brick and mortar store to buy from. Best buy doesn’t even carry DVDs anymore.

Ah. I see the angle you’re coming from. I had mentioned in another comment somewhere that essentially all salt without an impermeable barrier between it and the water on this planet would be dissolved (provided it doesn’t saturate the water which would be a horrifically enormous amount of salt). Salt is highly soluble in water and on any timescale that could be relevant would fully dissolve and achieve a general equilibrium. If the planet has water, then it has a star able to warm the planet. There’s no realistic scenario that wouldn’t result in the ocean fully mixing.

But that’s not what’s happening. There’s no “mining” of salt. There’s no significant addition or loss of salt to the ocean. Salt just stays in the oceans here. Freshwater will evaporate and return through rivers and rain. On a planet without land, the salt would still remain in the ocean.

Objection!

On what grounds?

It’s devastating to my case!

Overall composition of a planet is what would matter, not whether there is land. If there is salt on the planet, it would almost assuredly have salty oceans. Salt diffuses in water. If you put salt into a glass of water and leave it sit, eventually the salt would dissolve and mix completely. Salt water has a different density than water. The act of dissolving involves energy changes. These create small eddies and currents that would mix the water until it was in equilibrium. If there is salt in any form on your waterworld, the only way it wouldn’t be salty is if the salt was permanently separated from the water physically.

The reason water is concentrated in oceans isn’t specifically due to continents existing. Salt doesn’t evaporate so all rain is fresh water. That fresh water falls. When it falls over land it flows to the lowest point it can go. This leads to all flowing water flowing towards oceans and seas. Salt won’t travel upstream. Ergo salt simply stays in oceans and seas.

Now consider a world with no land. This wouldn’t really differ from a single ocean on earth. Currents and waves will move in all directions at some point which should mix the salt all around. You could get some differences if there were ice caps or icebergs. Those could behave similarly to continents depending on size.
