I don’t think that’s what the meme is claiming.
I think instead it’s just claiming that all fossils have the same implied increase in maximum size implied by the paper, not just T rex.
I’m guessing the illiterate paleo fans were excited that maybe T rex was king of the dinosaurs again, but the logic fails if all the dinosaurs get bigger max sizes…
That guy was running his own study. “How many times can I shock myself before I breach the ethical limits of the study and they cut the session short”.
He underestimated their resolve though, clearly.
“Divorced from the context that brought them about” Ahh, so you’re complaining about all the Germanic words in English, or the Latin words? The whole point of their diatribe is that the “brain rot” words you hate are little different from most words. It’s just that for some words the “in group” is Latin speakers, and for some words it’s some group nerding out about their own topic that spread their word to the rest of us… actually, I’m still talking about Latin speakers.
I always liked the extended version:
Well yeah, obviously the roads. The roads go without saying, don’t they?
Yeah! What have the romans ever done for us?!
They shrank by weight and volume for sure.
Not by screen area though.
I’ve always thought it’d be useful to pursue just as a backstop: you set a carbon tax to whatever the cost of sucking the co2 back out is, and then you have net zero.
I guess it’d have to be introduced slowly to 1. Give them time to develop lower costs before bankrupting literally everyone and 2. Reduce the shock of painfully high carbon tax, and give everyone time to jump for cheaper alternatives. But it feels like the closest to a proper solution that I can imagine.
Hay-fever and melanomas: no, the beauty is not for you
Yeah, the switch has an entire core locked off and everything is downclocked to improve battery life and control temperatures. No doubt this emulation gives everything more clock cycles (and perhaps an extra core?). Probably very short on battery and possibly very hot too.
He’s more pauldron now, than man.
That does make sense, though I read it as:
[the new, expanded] upper body size limits…
Is how I read it, but your interpretation works well too, so I don’t really know now.
