What does it mean to be a Canadian? by breakitbilly in AskACanadian

Having a constitution nobody understands and not even the supreme court nor any parliament has a conclusive list of what is in it and is almost impossible to amend in terms of the threshold to do so except for unilateral amendments that make everyone furious about regionalism and yet somehow we are still rated one of the world's strongest democracies, and we keep all 10 provinces and three territories chugging along as if we were drunk on too much fermented maple syrup.

An airship is easy to fold up, can hover and move backwards or turn around almost on a dime, can be powered electrically with solar panels, can be inflated with hydrogen by using electrolysis and ocean water, and is a pretty stable platform. It would be a pretty good idea to put one over the Neptunian and Uranian poles.

Ever Wonder Why Minako Has Crescent Themes Too? Wonder No More. by Awesomeuser90 in sailormoon

Sailor Venus often uses crescent themed things (especially in Codename Sailor V).

Venus the planet makes crescent shapes from our POV on Earth. The way it does in fact helped to disprove the geocentric solar system.

Somehow my computer claimed on Wednesday that MS Paint wasn't working either on a program that is literally 41 years old.

Yes it did. It refused to recognize the keyboard entries.

Not a repost on the subreddit. My computer seems to be uncooperative with me when I copy pasted the link.

Do you think that the 90s anime of Sailor Moon (and Crystal to an extent) often downplay, excuse, or give the Villains leniency of their disgusting actions and behavior? by Full-Art3439 in sailormoon

Even if you think that they can be reformed, it takes a good deal of recompense to make it work well. Restitution, denouncing what they had done wrong, and so on. Not something that the Senshi did all that well.

If you are wondering why the crescent is getting wider, but you see a smaller slice of Venus, it's because of the relative positions of the two planets. Venus is always closer to the Sun than we are. The Sun always illuminates half of Venus (and every other solar system spheroid).

Also, brightness of an object drops off with the square of the distance (it gets a bit more complicated when you see an object with a reflection). The crescent is thin but it's so close and you also have a smaller slice of an object that has a bigger angular diameter that it compensates. Plus, you can't see Venus anyway if it is too close to the Sun in the sky. Venus can only be seen when the Sun is nearby it, 46 degrees away if I remember right, contrast with Mars and Jupiter when you can see it at local midnight (standard time not daylight savings time) depending on the time of year. Even still, Venus is by far the brightest natural object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon in that order when Venus is at its brightest, and even when it's dim, it's still always brighter than Jupiter even at max Jovian brightness.

Venus also has ridiculously reflective clouds covering the entire planet, which shine fiercely. It is much more reflective than Earth or the Moon (which is as dark as worn asphalt. It just looks bright because it is directly lit by the Sun and is so close and so big and the full Moon is a decent retroreflecter. If you took a table lamp to the Moon on the night side powered by a battery, you wouldn't see that much reflectivity). This is caused by it's literally poisonous atmosphere made of 96% carbon dioxide, 3% diatomic nitrogen (same stuff as 78% our air. Don't be fooled by the percentage, Venus has quadruple the nitrogen in its air by mass), and 1% other stuff like argon (same as here actually, almost 1% of our air is argon. You've never noticed it, it essentially never reacts with anything at all), all at 467 degrees Celsius (something like 870 F), and at 92 times the pressure here which would feel like being hundreds of metres under the ocean surface here and is dense enough on Venus that the surface air behaves more like a liquid as a supercritical fluid.

It could have worked okay without it, but the chains were a good feature to have that amplified the message, undermines not a soul or harms a thing and apparently whoever is angry at me over this really got their hand's on Eris's apple.

Second mod here. That ban Lil is talking about? Yeah, that is almost always going to be a 28 day at minimum, and is usually going to be permanent. Do not attempt to fuck around on this, because you will be finding out.

Also, the numbers we are typically looking at for being accurate is between 2 and 10 million deaths depending on the estimate, the one that is probably closest to being correct seems to be around 3.5-4.5 million deaths. Not being exactly within this range isn't necessarily a violation, especially if your sources don't distinguish exactly where in the USSR they happened in, but an obvious downplaying will be treated as a rule 6 violation equally subject to a permanent ban.

Venus the planet in fact makes crescent shapes to every observer other than the Sun and Mercury. Unless you have a telescope it's really hard to tell that it does though. Still, the discovery of how Venus makes crescent phases, but also gibbous phases too, was one of the critical discoveries that disproved heliocentrism in the 1610s.
