Reply to If earth was a smooth sphere, which direction would water flow when placed on the surface? by Axial-Precession
Depends, is the earth still rotating? If so, pretty much the same way as the winds. You'd have some local variations due to the weather, but more or less it would behave like the wind.

Reply to Rain vs snow accumulation volume? by krenzar18
Rain is liquid water, it'll be more dense than the solid snow. Collect a container of snow and compare it to the weight of the same container of water. Or just melt the snow and see how little water there is in a large volume of snow.

Based on what exactly? A single mutation isn't likely going to do much unless it happens in the correct place.
> It may be something more akin to flipping 50 or 100 heads in a row.
Which is rather easy if you've got millions of years to do it.

For me when I make the decision to drink my morning espresso I'm really just asking myself if I feel comfortable pooping wherever I will be that morning.

Nah, it wasn't weird, he wanted to take credit for the vaccine but didn't understand his base hated it.

Reply to comment by Naive_Age_566 in extremely long stick additional questions? by Unnombrepls
This is the right answer, I would also suggest u/Unnombrepls watch this video on the speed of motion by AlphaPhoenix since I always wondered the same thing about transmitting data faster than light by moving a long cylinder between two points. I knew it would be impossible, I just didn't know why it would fail (ignoring the engineering problem with creating a long enough cylinder to test this.)

Reply to comment by Kriegmannn in FBI has seized website used by notorious ransomware gang by Bananaramas
Imagine someone got the password to your Facebook account. They have no access to your PC whatsoever. They didn't hack into your computer and they have no access to your files or banking information, they just have access to post things on your Facebook. Same thing here, the CIA public facing website is not on the CIA network, it's an external service.

Reply to comment by soupyhands in Here's my favorite shot of the eruption in Iceland in 2021. [OC][1220x1440] by innovfitness
Nope, it's not a national park (where drones are prohibited in Iceland) but there were daily updates based on drone activity. If there was another eruption the country might prohibit drone flights based on how dangerous it is.
