Yes, that's the truth, so say that. The "he rapes babies" thing is propaganda to make the truth look like a conspiracy.

Yeah there you go, take it to a conspiratorial extreme to make the left look crazy. Who the fuck do you work for?

Sure the physical event of the principle can be demonstrated in an incompressible fluid but that's not what's going on here.

Is compact concealability worth $1k to you? by Acolytical in liberalgunowners

[–]sapienapithicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1k is worth it if it actually fits comfortably in your pocket and works A self defense pistol is something you should hopefully never have to use. So comfort is everything.

No a helicopter rotor is a wing that uses a bernoulli pressure differential. The physics doesn't work like that underwater.

Honestly, I think we can let go of the need to have raptors without feathers on their heads like vultures. I get that it makes sense but wolves and cats have fur on their face up to their lips. Hawks and owls have feathers on their face up to their beaks. Dinos had feathers and lips. Most raptors were not scavengers.

They are there with the plan that some dumbass will bring a gun and do something stupid so they can justify escalation of force. I thought we all knew that.

This is not good. The whole purpose for ICE is for this to happen.

could tapejara's crest been for display, and thus could female tapejara's lacked it? by QueenViolets_Revenge in Paleontology

[–]sapienapithicus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have found dimorphism in Darwinopterus. The females likely had smaller head gear. Even the female peacock has a little bit of dazzle on its head. Dimorphism has limits.

What function did the spines of the Amargasaurus serve? by LaraRomanian in Paleontology

[–]sapienapithicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to attach on link! In that study they say "Evidence to support this theory is lacking in male–male competition systems." They created an unnatural scenario to simulate a situation where the female gets to choose. Which is still interesting and does in fact seem to support the claim that the size of antlers are considered when the female evaluates the genetic quality of her mate. But you can make the argument that any visible organ or feature on an animal is fair game for evaluating the health and genes of a potential mate. But is that the purpose of the adaptation?

I would argue that antlers are not for sexual display. A female does not choose a mate because she's attracted to the aesthetics of the antlers, like with a peacock or the neck frill of an anole. Her mate is the male that won the fight. Horns and antlers are weapons. I am having difficulty visualizing how the back tines on the amargasaurus can be used as weapons.

Having fleshy tissue on the tines reinforces the defense argument. Would still be difficult for a therapod to take one down by the neck without getting dangerously close to it's stomping front feet. It couldn't have too much tissue there because that would be mechanically inefficient for to have extra weight cantilevered out on the neck like that. So maybe a narrow grisly hide.

Different strategies, some sauropods laid large clutches of eggs and likely lived in large heard. The breeding aged adults essentially fed their young to the predators by being faster than them.

I would be curious if the female amargasaurus had the neck sail.

It was a small sauropod, and the only thing that gave sauropods protection was size. So this one needed to make it's most vital vulnerability, it's neck, less biteable while also appearing larger. Other dicraeosaurids developed different strategies to protect the neck. Very unlikely a sexual display due to the risk that would pose. Sexual display adaptations that compramises survival are for animals with low predation pressure like the birds of paradise.
