@RevivedThoughts Follow up question: can you count having visited a country if the bus you were on drove through it for an hour but you never got off the bus in that country?
@spbwe11_2k@lesbian_syrax Summer is defined by the time between the summer solstice (in June in the northern hemisphere) and the autumnal equinox (in September), not by which months have the most daylight. There's a delayed effect between increased sunlight and increased temperature
@bugbugbugg I graded for an online class this semester, got sooo many *very* obviously AI submissions. It's honestly offensive, because they clearly think I'm stupid. I'm not stupid! I'm getting a PhD!
@SketchesbyBoze Not just any paper, but one*you're an author on*! Why in the world wouldn't you, at the bare minimum, read over a publication that will have your name and reputation attached?
@defirst_warrior@sairaspooks The part where Viggo Mortensen breaks his toe kicking an orc helmet. Sharing this piece of trivia with a first time watcher is some bizarre rite of passage.
Ocean waves hitting the shore generate seismic waves. Cars driving down the road generate seismic waves. Earthquakes famously generate seismic waves, but even those are mostly too small to feel.
While we're complaining about scientific adjectives, I hate that "seismic" means large or significant when there are literally seismic waves moving through the Earth all the time, but most are far too small to feel. "Seismic" isn't a size, it's a type of energy propagation.
