I’m pretty sure allergies are due in part to our crap diets. I changed my diet to one with only food my thrice great grandparents would recognise, also very low carb, no modern vegetable oils, and my allergies vanished (seasonal rhinitis) or became minor (cats)

People who have tried to gain literacy later in life have had a lot more trouble learning to write than read. It seems that the fine motor skills to drive a pen are best learnt early

Since they didn’t note extreme blue shift, probably several billions of years

Milky way and Andromeda are close enough that expansion is too small to overpower gravity

Our local group is racing toward The Great Attractor but will never reach it as expansion is pulling it away faster than we’re falling toward it

Yeah, I’m pretty sure red shift is our best method for getting distances on billions of light year distant objects, no idea of it’s the only one at that range

Do you think plastic straws are banned in the places with waste management that allow plastics to be dumped in the ocean?

In my country pretty much every fast food straw lands in a fast food bin or in someone’s car and thence into household rubbish

None of that goes into water courses

Asia on the other hand has some pretty poor countries with crap rubbish handling

That’s a regional thing. Some places say on an island, others in an island.

Thanks that does make sense

minus drag

On Earth, this is the part that makes it so that objects do not fall at the same speed.

That is incorrect. Drag affects both equally. The difference is caused by buoyancy, less dense objects feel more buoyancy

Their problem was that they weren’t able to say why, and no one replying to me was able to do more than say they’re right, I’m wrong. See my edit. I added a correction after looking up drag equations for myself and finding that buoyancy was a factor

Also, thank you for replying civilly

You are wrong. Falling in a medium is slowed by buoyancy and drag

F=ma has nothing to do with it

Snake ID in my area is easy, brown snakes are the brown ones; red bellied black snakes are the black ones with red bellies

The difference is the different buoyancy of the balls in air. That’s negligible.

The acceleration will be 1G minus drag. The Earth is sufficiently larger than anything one would drop off a tower so the weight of the dropped thing doesn’t matter at all

How does your model of the universe explain the hammer and feather dropped on the moon by Apollo 15’s David Scott landed at the same time?

Ed. There is an effect of buoyancy that will make denser things fall faster. It becomes noticeable in distances where the dropped items reach terminal velocity or on more dense media where buoyancy is more significant.

In air over short distances buoyancy is negligible, in vacuum there is none

They have several domain names, each one works like a url shortener

g is a misspelling of k

Terribly common

I imagine he walked in grass barefoot or in sandals and got stung by a bee between his toes, having not noticed the bee in the clover

Such stings suck

A little older, with a ~700 million year half life and about ten half lives to be practically completely converted you’re looking for 7 billion years ago
