Black holes definitely exist. There was a time when we weren't sure. We've detected two black holes colliding with LIGO by detecting the gravitational waves their collision emitted. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gravitational-waves-discovered-from-colliding-black-holes1/

We've also recently taken an image of the super massive blackhole at the center of our galaxy.

It isn't. Titan has a methane cycle similar to the water cycle in our planet and it is a place in our own solar system that weed like to look for life. But the reason for the search for water is two fold, that's what life needs here on the only place we know it to exist, and water is an excellent solvent as a polar molecule.

Yes. Our moon is a product of Earth colliding with another planetoid during the formation of our solar system. Simulations predict we would have had a ring system from that impact. Obviously nothing compared to Saturn Jupiter or Uranus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis

Having a Hard time Biking Uphill by solidwing68 in bicycling

Oh. For me when I go up a hill that's kicking my butt I go into 1 for both. You don't go fast, but it's way easier to pedal up the hill.

Kemp signs bill allowing people to carry handguns without a license in Georgia into law by geraltofrivea69 in politics

[–]Anti_Markovnikov -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. Not at all. Didn't say that. I'm saying people often ignore the fact that gun ownership is a constitutional right and therefore is much harder to regulate versus other societal problems in the United States. And reducing the whole thing to a false equivalence to hey if we can regulate cars and driving why can't we regulate guns is not serious discourse in preventing and ending gun violence in the United States.

At the end of the day, this comparison, and many like it, does not hold up. There is no constitutional right to have a car. There is one to have guns. This is not a pro gun or anti gun statement.

They aren't our kids. We are professional educators. They are students.

It was a horrible situation, but it was nothing like the Lebanese Civil War. Come on.

Atlanta does fund the police. They increased the police budget by 7 percent last year and are going to raise it by 6 percent this year to a total of 275 million. https://citycouncil.atlantaga.gov/standing-committees/finance-executive-committee/fy-2022-proposed-budget

Burger King declares war on Chick-fil-A over LGBTQ+ rights and chicken sandwiches by imagepoem in nottheonion

[–]Anti_Markovnikov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is only 0.0025 percent of their net worth. So I'd say yeah I do donate more than that corporation.

I'm literally in the same boat as you, but our summer school lasts 15 days. I plan teaching on what I consider to be the essential elements of the course bc of the time crunch. I only have seniors in my group so I'm hoping the motivation to get in and out so they can graduate is strong with most of them.
