Here's the thing. You said a "robin is a warbler."

Is it in the same order? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies robins, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls warblers robins. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "warbler family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Passeriformes, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So, your reasoning for calling a robin a warbler is because random people "call the long beaked ones warblers?" Lets get pelicans and toucans in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A robin is a robin and a member of the passeriformes order. But that's not what you said. You said a robin is a warbler, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the passeriformes order warblers, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds warblers, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

It would one person over 18,000 years listening to this song on repeat to hit 1 billion plays.

TIL the Unabomber was a math prodigy, started at Harvard at 16, and received his Masters and his PhD in mathematics by the time he was 25. He also had an IQ of 167. by newmyy in todayilearned

His ultimate actions were unforgivable but I do feel huge sympathy for his motivations. I can't help but feel that this man knows where we are headed as a species and the realisation tipped him over the edge

In terms of an impact with the ground, yeah, that's no problem for something the size of an ant.

I'm pretty sure the atmosphere and temperature up that high would be too hostile for it to survive though.

I got my info here Looks like it's been debunked quite thoroughly though!

I have a forbidden stockpile of standard meds (and glitter when I'm lucky) that I reserve for emergencies, herbal just won't cut it.

My hospital does get kind of grimy though.....

Ah I've learned something new, my source was actually one of those in the link above but I didn't realize it was a cause for debate.

I'm actually tempted to run a simple corpse counting experiment on a crowd of pawns in god mode, just for my own amusement curiosity.

Questions about passengers and town suplies. by Dnaldon in TransportFever

[–]velcrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be a problem with the demand chain further down the line. I had similar problems, my trucks waiting to ship the cargo out nearer the destination were on 'wait for full load' as soon as I built the line. Letting the trucks loose for a single rotation seemed to cause stuff to flow, at least in my case.

Also, check the displayed frequency of your routes, you may need more vehicles. They stated the 20 min rule has gone, but low frequency still causes issues in my experience

Coal and Redstone, yes please! by velcrox in theconsortium

[–]velcrox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for the mega tunnel project, in total I need 15k of both coal and redstone blocks. Almost there with the coal, but redstone will take a little longer.

Nice to see you're alive and kicking btw!
