The exceptions are years multiple by 400. Those we do not make leap years even though they are divisible by 4. And we do that because it is actually closer to 365.246 days to a year, and that makes it pretty much consistent over the course of even thousands of years.

Reply to ELI5: Why do 26°C (78°F) feel colder in the water than 26°C (78°F) air temperature? by GrooveBeatz
Water is a much better conductor of heat than air. So whatever the difference in temperature, your body will more quickly move towards the temperature of the water than it does with the air.
That is also why boiling food tends to cook it quicker than making it even though boiling is done in lower temperatures.

That is exactly yet, and that is why it can almost always be recovered up until the point in which it is written over.

Reply to comment by BlowjobPete in Eli5: Why did ships and navies come up with their own system of units (nautical miles, knots, fathoms, etc)? Is it still used? by Dewi2020
In all fairness, this does assume decent footwear and a Roman paved road, with worse conditions being expected to slow units down.
But a lot of encumbrance plus having to do it for a long time makes it a lot more impressive. At the time, it was quite the feat mostly because the Romans had the infrastructure make it happen.

Yeah, but you are not carrying the kit of a soldier, which includes full armour, weapons, and provisions. Nor maintaining that speed for an average of ten hours a day and often more. Nor doing this all in conjunction with other men, and while remaining alert and ready for combat.
Strategic movement speeds are much slower than what you think because you have to factor in everything.

Reply to eli5. There is no air in space as per science and air is needed to have a fire. What’s the reason the sun keeps burning? by Zaiik
- The sun is not in "outer space" because it is big enough to have enough gravity to have an atmosphere, but more importantly...
- The sun is not burning. It is undergoing nuclear fusion because it is so big and generates so much gravity, that the gravity actually forces elements together in the core. This resembles burning only in that it produces a hell of a lot of heat and light.

You literally said they don't look like real human beings, but rather cartoon video game characters. That's mockery.
No reason to speak further.

Yeah, people within the subcultures where these traits are more common do tend to stick together, and you are displaying one of the reasons for that when you mock them.
Somebody covering themselves in tattoos or piercings or having wild hair doesn't affect me negatively in any way. Maybe I'll have a private chuckle to myself if I find something silly, but I have no reason to attack them just for existing.

Well, while I've seen quite a few barkeeps with facial tattoos, lots of piercings and unusual hair, they are still a minority compared to basically normal looking people, so that still fits.

Just because there is more than one minority person in the room doesn't mean they are not still in the minority in general.

Reply to comment by Col_Irving_Lambert in What is the exact moment that a show jumped the shark for you? by [deleted]
For me it was lighting a lake coated in gasoline on fire with an RPG when a cigarette lighter would have worked just as well. That was especially frustrating because the previous use of the RPG was actually practical and awesome as hell.

And even though only one episode is a true musical, they do occasionally have songs. Not all the time, but probably about as much as the simpsons does.

Yeah, I don't know why this person is pretending not to get that. I don't like the show either but I'm not going to ignore the reality that plenty of people are watching it.

Reply to Do you watch episodes in order? by Mythdon3
If I am watching a show intentionally, I watch it in order.
But most of my life I was subject to the whims of scheduling, so missing a few episodes and only getting to watch them years later was the norm.
Definitely don't see any reason I'd intentionally watch shows out of order. But if I happen to walk in on a show halfway through and it looks awesome it still sometimes happens.

And if you are talking about the ISS or other potential future long-term manned missions, it is important to make sure you don't carry up any microbes that could potentially screw up a biosystem that is already going to be really hard to maintain.
