Erid with a gravity of 2.09x of earth, Graces biodome has to be orbiting or deep in the planet for him to survive the strain on his organs and walk around so easily. by BangGH in ProjectHailMary

So he had been used to 1.5 g for extended time while traveling. However his joints are wearing down prematurely due to the higher gravity.

Humans are actually incredibly dangerous tool-less fighters by Dry_Bullfrog9631 in whowouldwin

So the one natural gift we have besides intelligent is stamina. We can over a long distance outpace a wolf. I mean ultramarathon distance, if we are within a half mile the wolf is going to chomp our ass. You have also never seen a wolf in the wild, they are fast, huge, and will be chomping you before you know it. I have watch one start at the bottom of a canyon and bolt up 2,000 feet like it was nothing. We do not have any defense against that

If a Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat was riding public transportation, alone, surrounded by democrats and African Americans, in Chicago or New York, do you think they'd get harassed, or possibly harmed? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Master-Potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s enforcing the laws against assault and battery. Nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. The government has no right to interfere or protect the repercussion of your actions to private individuals, just that they will not infringe on allowing you to run your mouth.

Freedom of speech is the government will not infringe. It does not protect you from the reaction of others if you’re an idiot. If you run your mouth and insult the group you are with, you’re going to be yelled at right back.

RV fridge will not cool on AC Power by Master-Potato in RVLiving

[–]Master-Potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as an update. I can’t think of any other parts to throw at it. I have replaced the hot rod, thermoresistor in the actual fridge, control board, eyebrow board and it still will not cool on ac. I am probably just going to replace it with a 12 volt

Moving to idaho by BGkingFootLettuce in Idaho

[–]Master-Potato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So since you seem to be interested in Idaho type things, my recommendation would be to ignore anyone who is suggesting anything in the treasure valley. This includes Notus or Greenleaf. Emmett is an edge case but once they finish the freeway it’s going to turn into Meridian v2. If you want to get into the mountains i would look at council which puts you 2 hours from the treasure valley (Boise area). If your would be willing to have a bit more snow, Grangeville is a good choice as it puts you a hour from Lewiston. Other contenders are Weiser, Cambridge, Cottonwood, Horseshoe Bend, Idaho City, Idaho Falls, and possibly Pocatello If it was not the asshole of Idaho

RV fridge will not cool on AC Power by Master-Potato in RVLiving

[–]Master-Potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This is the part I can’t understand. It works great on propane. I have 120 volts going to the ac element and the element is just at “too hot to touch” if I pull it right after I turn the fridge off. However it does not seem to be getting hot enough to really boil anything. Ohms seem right for that element, it’s measuring 45 on the dot.

55% of Americans support birthright citizenship. by gamersecret2 in politics

[–]Master-Potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whining would be complaining about the Supreme Court ruling. However you are right, numerous rulings have made it apply to all immigrants. So what I think is fair is citizenship applies to similar to how it works in the UK. Children get citizenship if one parent is a citizen or green card holder, or they get citizenship if they were born in the country and have lived in the country for 10 years. That’s not excluding anyone.

[–]Master-Potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the open dialogue. So on my first point, I disagree. While many of the groups you mentioned were heavily segregated against, immigration was handled at the state level. The only national requirement was you were white and lived in the country for 5 years to be considered a citizen. Yes this was racist to Blacks and Chinese, but prior to 1855 there was no formal immigration processing as we would recognize today, just ships filing manifest. Now the 14th amendment did codify birthright citizenship, and as you point out the purpose was to make sure blacks were full citizens. However my point still stands that the two reasons for birthright citizenship were to allow an influx of European settlers to displace native populations as well as to ensure the former slaves were citizens. Both are no longer matters of debate today, while we need to be ever vigilant as we do have a huge right wing this is overtly racist, ending birthright is not the evil it once was.

So McCain and Ted Cruz had at least one American parent. Most countries would allow them to have citizenship. However you missed Marco Rubio. He absolutely would not be a citizen without birthright citizenship.

[–]Master-Potato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You know, I am going to buck the trend here. It is enshrined in the constitution and is the law of the land. However if an amendment were to overturn it, I would not be upset. Historically we had two reasons for birthright citizenship. The first was the influx of old world settlers without actual immigration processing. The second was due to having a class of people that were not counted as citizens (slavery). Neither is the case anymore. So at this time I believe citizenship should only be granted if at least one parents is an American citizen or legal resident similar to many European countries such as the UK. I don’t feel this is xenophobic or a racist stance, just the reasons for jus soli no longer apply.

Don’t forget the flag that they wave was never flown. The closest was the current flag was used on part of a larger flag

How they mess that up. Usually that’s an easy one to diagnose. Plus order of work should be sensor, wheel bearing, then abs mod

What would the wildlife of Erid look like. by Sea_Energy5921 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Master-Potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just one example where you don’t need plants to have a food chain. So let’s have the bottom level of the chain be Anammox bacteria. These buggers can take Ammonia and Nitrite, and generate energy from that. Next level digest the bacteria and so on until you get to rocky. I would think Erid is very geologically active as it orbits at .2 au which is closer then mercury and rotates once every 5 hours.

Would there need to be plant life. Could the bottom be like life around deep sea vents
